Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

i friend of mine has a Vr MKII jetta and i raced him with my 91 LS hatch and i got my ass handed to me
off the line my car was a joke to the tq he was putting down especially w/ the passat trans




kinda OT but IMO, MKII's are the EF's of VW

Anyone that confident has seen your car run and will most likely hand you your ass. Be careful of this.

call jeff, ask him if you can rent the boosted motor out of his girls hatch for a night and bet this fool 5gs :P

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

Okay, so I get the point, I won't be racing this guy for money (until I build my motor :P). I will just race him for fun. I'm not really worried at all if he has some stock turbo motor though. But yeah it looks like if he has a decent turbo setup I probably will get beat.

Is your hatch turbo? I have raced SRT4's and actually driven one, and I had no problem beating them and all the torque they make. My car gets out of the hole pretty well with my drag radials and quiafe LSD. Hell if I ever raced for money I would probably be runnig my slicks anyways, so that takes care of the laucning part. I have never even raced anybody at 12-14psi either, I have only raced people on 9-10psi, so my car has a little power left in it.

Well that guy I beat in the B20/Vtec hatch still talks ---- and wants to race me for money... he did get some headwork done though, so I better be careful lol. I will just be racing for fun though, I will call Jeff and have him bring Leia's car down if these guys really want to race a honda for money.

I onced raced a Mustang for $50 and didn't know anything about the car. And Mustangs can range from 15 sec to 9 sec cars and they all look and sound the same. My deciding factor is that I always look at the tires, that'll tell you the most about how fast a car is cause you can only go so fast on street tires.

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

I don't see how your car makes any power with out pistons and rods, do you have a rotary in there?


I love desk

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

That is a very good point. Racing out on the street is a lot different than on the internet or the track. You could be making a lot of power, but you won't beat anybody if you can't put the power to the ground.

I watched Jeff race a 400whp supra in my car and win, just because the girl couldn't get traction (should be on video). I also raced Travis in his built rx7 my very first race and beat him because he couldn't get traction (also on video I believe). It might have been driver error or shitty tires, but as you all know from the fast and the furious "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning" lol... :P

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

werd. Im always peeking at tires. Nothing like a fast Mustang rolling on pos BFG radial T/A's lol

Re:92gti vr6 turbo vs. BBKA for money?
 

There was one time that we were in my buddies SHO Taurus and we finally made the deal to race a 69' Camaro on the bottle and all this other ---- but he was on street tires so we figured we could take him, right before we raced he up on some ungodly 33 inch slicks. :-\ We actually held our own pretty ------- well though. Good thing it wasn't for money.
