It was brand new silver with no plates. I didn't see a R32 on the back anywhere, so I'm pretty sure this was an 08 GTI DSG.

I was coming form behind and when I got near him, he down shifted and gunned it (this was before I actually chased him). We were coming up to a red light, and I knew it was about to change so I downshifted into 2nd gear from 3rd. And as the light changed I was a couple feet from his back bumper in the lane to his left.

I started in 2nd at around 28-30 mph and my front bumper was a couple feet behind his back bumper. By the time I hit 68-70 mph, his front bumper was either at my back bumper or a couple feet behind it. I pulled on him pretty hard in 2nd and 3rd gear.

I would of keep going but this was in a 45 mph zone, and I don't need a ticket. I would of loved to see if he would of came back though. Of course when I stopped he kept going, but don't worry I made sure he saw my brake lights lol. I gave him a thumbs up when he was at the light(left turn) and I drove straight.

I know it's probably a drivers race with this match up, but I bet the guy just got it and was new to it or something.


I'm 100% stock with a hardtop.

 

maybe i'm late to the 08 GTI party or something, but a driver's race? i thought these things are a driver's race with a stock rsx-s, which the s2000 when well driven can obliterate?

good kill in any event

 

Honestly i don't know lol, I just googled some 1/4 mile times and got a 14.2, so I figured that's right around a stock s2k. But if they are only as fast as a RSX-S, then my pull makes more sense then.

 

dunno my friend has an 06 6 spd i was stock and so was him, i pulled on him by 3-4 cars

 

Hahah c'mon there is no way we are that much faster................

 

 

I don't think a stock GTI is gonna be hanging with an S2000. You've got a 40hp advantage and are 400lbs lighter. I've got a friend w/ a stage 2 GTI, intake, exhaust, FMIC, and a couple other things and he runs 14.0 at 98.

 

lol are you serious? we are way faster than that car....


207 hp 200 tq 3400 LBS

240 hp 161 tq 2856 LBS

i weigh 155 he weighs 300+ lol maybe thats why too

trust me i raced him many times, he doesnt even want to ask me anymore

 

stock for stock, can we take an R32?

 

I dunno, but they sound awesome
