No, we didn't launch. We went from 10-85 and I beat him by 1 car. He was surely modified, because I would've left a stock one like a turtle racing a hare.

Please refrain from the personal attacks. If either of you have a problem with each other, take it to PMs.

CuttieBonny, if you seriously have a problem with his comments, you should probably take your own advice and ignore him.

Fine! I'll try to refrain, but this is my thread and he keeps coming in and starts insulting; not only this time, many other times as well.

I would have to agree with xpander4 on this one. He never insulted you, simply made an observation on your status of street racer. If anything, iceple was closer to insults then he was.

If you both have a problem with each other from previous threads, just ignore one another.

The VAG 1.8T's make *significantly* more torque than the S2k. Figure a chipped GTI is making about 210hp/240 tq. With the little turbos that come stock, full boost is available before 2000 rpm.

In terms of big turbo kits, they put down very good power. A GT25 kit with the trimmings can put out 300 crank hp and 300 tq.

Your best bet is a launch as FWD cars don't launch well, but if you really do go from a roll, then expect a mildly worked GTI to keep up, and a well worked GTI to leave you behind.

Chipped/exhaust GTI's do the quarter in about 14.0-14.3 depending on driver from what ive seen.

I've never gotten an S2k to bite.

Cheers
