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

RE: what should be faster???
 

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

RE: what should be faster???
 

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!!!!!!!!!!

RE: what should be faster???
 

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...

mdcivic = gay.


nice kill phs!

RE: what should be faster???
 

Nice kill, did you get to see the look on his face as you passed him?

RE: what should be faster???
 

ya he looked at me with an embarrased yet nervous smile knowing he got it handed to him lol mdcivic needs to move outta mommys house and don't worry about me getting into trouble with the law

RE: what should be faster???
 

everyone's a hard ass till they're sitting in jail...


What kind of "chip" are you running?


Jetta weighs more than I thought (3303 lbs), which is probably why you beat him.

RE: what should be faster???
 

correction... everyone is a hardass when your dad isa city judge!!! i probably should stop using him as an excuss but fu(k it... its got me outta street racing problems a few times why stop now!!!

my chip is a skunk2

nah it's not worth it, you obviously need to learn on your own. I just hope I don't read about you on the news or online one day. peace.

RE: what should be faster???
 

now don't get me wrong i do appreciate the concern you have but i am not one of those real hardcore street racers where they run at high speeds. this jetta i raced is the only time i have actually ever had my car over 85 mph besides the track. when i race it is just up to like second gear. but yathanks for lookin out
