Hitting the Track!! G2 vs GTI

JZ_ · 05-24-07, 01:31 AM

So Im hitting the drag strip against a 2001 GTI 1.8T tomorrow. I know they come with 180 hp stock. This dude has a CAI and a blowoff valve...+ a CF hood.
Who's gonna win??? Gimmie your opinion...
I feel my car is really strong and Im pretty sure I can take him....Keep in mind that Im a pretty good driver and yes I shift through the gears....

Hahaha!!!! I smoked him!!!!

I'd say that it will come down to the driver...

P.s. I don't know wich car has a better power to weight ratio...

LOL the Gti will destroy you.....sorry dude...get a 3.5 and gut the car then ask. :-/

gti is lighter, If it was one of the new ones 2004 +, I would say the GTI most certain..

(assuming you have a 5-Speed) This is how its going to happen: It's going to be a partly cloudy day with a temperature in the low 70's; a very close race, but the GTI will take the win. The End.

the 06' 200hp, 200ft. lbs torque = pretty fast car, fun to drive to...

jjazzy016 · 05-24-07, 03:04 AM

i believe its turbo or something, i remember reving my engine next to one at a light and another gut said" thats a turbo" so you will loose, sorry, but i have beaten an acura integra ls.

92drls · 05-24-07, 03:18 AM

I know Id beat him but I have a 5 spd and race everybody.. Take out your pass headlight, and please get it on tape regardless!

Dude, he has more than 240 hp I think he can beat one.

antik · 05-24-07, 08:44 AM

Stock the 01s generated 150hp (article) but only weights 2800lbs.

You power to weight ratio is only marginally better with a TypeI (very marginally).

If you're running an auto, don't shift through the gears. From a stand still, you're better off just hammering it and letting the transmission do its work. I'd bet on the GTI winning with what little mods he's done but I don't think it'd be murder. If you're both sticks you might even edge him out if you're a good driver and if he isn't.

No he doesn't. That's just a TypeII badge slapped onto a throttle body for show: TypeIIs have their badges on the intake manifold. TypeIIs also generate 230hp.

Looks to me it would be pretty close but he probably would have you off the line and at the finish - if he's a decent driver/gets a good R/T/etc. You'd have a much better chance racing him from a roll. Then again, anything can happen at a track.
