Haha, well that was the impression I got when I first drove the 1/4 mile.

Guess my engine was just gay.

400 meters.

Since I dont feel like starting a new topic...Does anybody have information on the 1.8T motors? Forged bottom end? I've looked around the internet and cant find ---- on these motors. Neuspeed makes a chip that raises boost levels to 16 pounds, so im assuming this thing is pretty strong. Anybody have input

actually yeah, i'm shifting to 5th right when i cross 1/4 and this is with a 100-102 trap speed, so especially if you have a little higher traps, but in your case, you might only be in third with a 75 mph trap
what tranny are you running? those are some short gears.... i wouls still be in 3rd in my 7

the vr6 doesnt rev high (compared to your typical honda), also, the gears seem very very short, that explains why he flies through the gears.

and what the ***** up with the gauges, some one sed it has 2 motors so i guess that its double everything.

and its not 3 tachs, its 2 tachs and a speedo.

It's the VW from england...I saw another vid of it against a Viper...the vid said it was a twin engined VR6 turbo...2 Vr6 turbo's??
All those gauges are probably adding a lot of weight

no traction? (could explain why the gears go so quick).

BTW the HPA Golf has a $24,000 Turbo Kit on it
