so this kid that lives up my street has a jetta, he freakin drives by house all day long and lets his DV go off, and it got really annoying. i saw him driving out of the neighborhood one day when i was on my way out as welll...turns out we caught the first light when u turn outta my neighborhood...we had a run for it and i actually beat him by about 2 cars. my awd is definately what won me the race.

couple days later i saw his bro driving the same jetta. his brother doesnt like me, so i knew he would want to race me. we caught a two lane stop sign, we waited til we got to about 10mph to start racing, so my awd wasnt a factor at all.... it was pretty dead even. nobody really pulled ahead.

The car is chipped with a different intake and DV. thats all it has done.

so for all you 12v haters, they keep up with chipped 1.8's no problem... what do chipped 1.8's run?? like a 15.7??? cuz my car runs a 15.7 and i was dead even when awd wasnt involved.

1.8's run a 16.5 stock???

 

He was probably driving an auto. A chipped 1.8T will kill a 2.8.

 

yea a 12v really wouldnt stand a chance with a chiped 1.8 he was probably lieing about his car being chiped

 

12v's do not run 15.7, i would say around 17

 

lol, i know its a 5 spd jetta. and dont chipped 1.8's run 15.7???

 

I think they can pull off a little better than that but its not real fast, with a few things they will be easily quicker than a 12v if they werent already in stock form

 

well a 30v 2.8 runs mid 15s and a chipped 1.8t will walk a 30v so do the math (low 15s I believe) the jetta either wasnt chipped and I know he cant drive.

 

oh and you may have 20 hp on my 1.8t, but you also have alot more wieght fromk the engine.

 

was it an older 1.8 (non turbo) jetta, my cousin used to have one and it was a freakin big fat dogggg

 

Bullshit... Your threads are worthless.
