I would say it could go either way. The gti should be capable of a high 13 sec pass. You have gears? etc etc

These threads come up all the time - don't attack him for making one too.

Anyway, I would also say that it could go either way. You say he has an automatic? I would say shift high, and hopefully his transmission's more of a dog than an AOD D) and you might have a shot at winning.

Some cheap things you may want to consider before racing - underdrive pulleys, and a good junkyard electric fan. you could get anywhere from 10-20 HP from those two things and spend less than 200 bucks, 100 if you look around well.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Really curious what a "performance cam" is with an 86 engine...piston style is not great for valve clearance...and not really sure either how a set of lifters is considered a performance enhancing modification.


OH and this is really not a tech topic.

Cool thing is, I work for VW and smoke all the GTI's here in the parking LOT!!!!

Seriously GTI's fairly stock will run low to mid 14's high 13's if they are lucky! It will be close but I think you will win!

I have a black '02 gti.

They're pretty quick cars and they respond to mods pretty well.
But my 5.0 will beat the gti.

Go from a dig and you'll do fine.

GTI's have top-end power.
