k........ my friend got a gti and the dealer told her it got over 200 horses but i know its got like 150 ish and she wants to race me... i own a 95 mustang gts. who do you think would win before i waste gas
so you want to know if you will win a race VS a 1.8 driven by a girl? 
Unless you have no driver skill or cant shift it (depneding in if its a stick) You shouldnt have any troubles. Got anything done to yours? Not that it matters Im must courious
Here is what a quick google search came up with (b/c Im bored and the spike Power block is not on yet)
The latest GTi, based on the Golf body, gains 30 hp with a new 180 hp turbo engine. Sold as Golf GTI in Europe. Comes with manual or Tiptronic transmission. A 6-speed manual 20th Anniversary edition is also available.

Displacement : 1,781 cc
Valve : 20 valves, 5 valves per cylinder

Horsepower : 180 hp @ 5500 rpm

0-¼ mile : 15.3 sec @ 94.0 mph60-0 braking distance : 131 ft.
200 ft skidpad : 0.82 g
with the drive train loss your looking at about 150 HP or less to the wheels and it runs a 15.3 and thats magzine tested so unless shes a hell of a driver I would expect something more like a mid/high or high 15. When you race dont go from a roll, only faries and girls race from rolls so take her from the dig and let your TQ do all the work.
