My friend has a new GTI that he just finished breaking in so I thought I'd give him a run. I have 05 6mt stock VDC on, he has 2012 GTI auto stock. First run started from 40 I started in 3rd and he jumped a car length with the quickness as we gained speed I started to close the gap but we shut it down closing in on 90+MPH. Then we ran into a light so I had a second chance. I had a decent start (too much clutch, no spin) and watched him jump close to 2 car lengths on me by my 2nd gear, as I got into 3rd I started catching up but with cars up ahead I was running out of road. I managed to get into 4th and catch his rear bumper before shutting it down.

Gotta give him credit that car dips, he does have a cheater 6 speed dual clutch automatic transmission with launch control.... That being said winning is winning and I definitely lost. I will hopefully get a rematch, maybe rolling in 2nd at high rpm I'd show him whats up. I didnt switch off VDC so I have to experiment a little and learn my car a little bit better. Either way it was fun, I'll keep you posted if I get the rematch.

 

Street racing is illegal. 90+ MPH on a public roadway, way to put innocent people's life at risk. Take it to the track and post times for us to take you seriously.

Your problem was leaving VDC on. The car will cut power to keep you from spinning the tires. Next time turn it off...

 

Interesting.... must be the gearing that they use in the GTI and the responsiveness of the turbo. It's not a super-light car for the size (3115 lb's according to edmunds.com) and it's down about 70 HP to you. I wish there was an easy way to shave a good 200 pounds off of a G35 without gutting the interior.

 

Should have said this was in Mexico or Uzbekistan.. or something.. duh...

 

fagget

 

i called the cops on you

 

Take it to the track.

Starting in 3rd gear in 40...FAIL. Start in 2nd next time.

 

I agree that 3rd is the wrong gear to start in for an all out race from 40. A 6MT is at around 4200 RPM in 2nd at 40 MPH, or right at 3000 in 3rd. You definitely get more power at 4200 RPM, particularly with a Rev-Up motor. You could probably go 40 to about 65 MPH in 2nd, and then bang into 3rd for the remainder of the race which would take you over 90 MPH.
