Default '03 ap1 vs '10 gti

I'm not sure of the specs of the newer gti's but I beat an 03ish stage 2 gti by leaps and bounds.. Ran it twice from a dig

borrowed a friend of mine's method of calculation (car lengths)

1st run - stage up
(gti)
(s2k)

launch
(gti)
----(s2k) 5,500 rpm clutch drop

end of 1st: 1 + 1/2 cars
(gti)
------(s2k)

end of race: 3 cars or so
(gti)

------------(s2k) 100mph shut down

it was something like that if i had to draw it out.. both races yielded similar results..

You'll smash him. The MKVI 2010 GTI's are about as fast as the MKV 2006-2009 GTI's.

GTI's are only rated at 200hp. They have about 40-50lbs torque over the S but they also weigh about 250lbs more. Car and Driver got 0-60 in 6.3 and 1/4 mile in 14.9.

Compare to C&D's S2000 test results - 0-60 in 5.4 and 1/4 mile in 14.1...easy win.

But make sure it's a stock GTI. They can be made very fast with just a chip and tune.
