0.46!!! I've seen a video of a race between a 1.8T Jetta with chip, downpipe and exhaust against an S2000. S2000 edged it out every time but when they got to the higher speeds the Jetta caught up. I believe that S2000 had the top up. If your top was down it might be possible that a Jetta with chip, downpipe and exhaust can pass you at those speeds.

I live in So Cal so yes of course my top was down. Oh well, the guy gets props from me because I would have never expected to get beat by a Jetta.

all these people getting sprayed on the top end confuse me
unless there are a lot more direct port kits out there than i think, there are also a lot of retards running around blowing up motors

It was probably all modded out. Let's not forget that the fastest stock turbo, no nitrous 1.8T runs have been 13.22 @ 103.xx and 13.2xx @ 104ish...
If the S2K was modded for power, it would be a different story. Also, have to remember that the Jetta might have had a turbo upgrade and has a much better c/d.

This Jetta evidently put a total of 6 car lengths (from 3 behind to 3 ahead) all from 130+ mph.
If we exclude driver error (and that's a big IF), what other setup on the jetta (what turbo/gearing/whathaveyou) would give this sort of result other than a squirt of laughing gas?
