what should be faster???
 

my civic si w/ intake, header, exhaust, chip, flywheel, short throw, stage 3 clutch or a automatic jetta 2.5T (2007) a guy at my work wants to race me so bad, everytime we are driving home he tries to show off. i mean don't get me wrong i think his car has good performance but common i don't like to line up on someone i know i can beat for sure... thats a waist of jailtime if you ask me... what do you guys think??? does he have a chance???

RE: what should be faster???
 

nope not a manual against a auto not a chance just a heads up

RE: what should be faster???
 

i think u got him but if he wins jus say u got off to a bad start or something. i think ud definatly eat him in top end.

RE: what should be faster???
 

you would beat him guaranteed.
those turbo jettas are slow

I wasn't aware that there was a 2.5t, thought it was either 2.0t or 2.5.

If its the 2.5 you should take him, provided your "chip" isn't actually hindering your performance ;)


2.0t will give you a good run. It's only 200hp, and its fairly heavy, but an N/A Si isn't exactly a performance monster

Best thing to do would be to hit the track and find out

ya your right it is a 2.0t not a 2.5 but i think i am going to get him tomorrow night. i will let you know how it goes...

RE: what should be faster???
 

with very few mods a 2.0T Jetta can be very quick. Let him think he's faster. At the end of the race, what good does it do either one of you?

bragging rights? lol

alright results are in!!!!!!!!!!!!! i raced him today on the way home for a little less than a 1/4 mile. he was with me in 1st gear, i shift into 2nd and pull away, shift into 3rd gear i pull away a little more, in the end of3rd going into 4th he makes a small comeback but by the time we were at high speeds and 4th and start of 5th i had him by like 4 car lengths!!!!!!!!!!

that's great...now you can sleep better knowing your car beat a Jetta. At least you didn't get a reckless driving ticket and lose your license or much worse... great...
