Default VW Jetta > Mustang GT

This seller of a Jetta knows his **** =D

http://orlando.craigslist.org/car/254455288.html

Apparently, his Jetta "car has an insane amount of torque and is faster than most GT Mustangs - if you floor it in 1st gear below 30 mph it will smoke the tires."

my buddy has a 02 1.8t and its a quick car but stock its about as fast as a nPI. with his list of mods i wouldnt be surprised if he could beat a PI GT with a few bolt ons... i bet he hasnt raced a f/i mustang gt.

My daughter has a 2003 Jetta automatic and while it's a fun car to drive, (really), it's no match for a PI Mustang. The car is very light, handles well and the automatic adjusts shift points etc to your driving style but it won't smoke the tires, not in stock form anyhow. As for torque, he has to be kidding.
Speed yes, stability at high speeds yes, torque no.....

One thing about the VW's, they respond very well to mods. Especially the turbo models.
Drop a tuner/chip into them and they respond very well.

well most people who have beat a mustang have not EVER raced a F/I stang let alone a cammed stang. most people who talk **** about beating a stang is when they race a stock stang. I have a guy who has a sleeper that beats ls1s all the time and the ls1s never talk **** because they know he has spent more money. he has fulll bolt ons with stage 2 cams and he whoops them all the time with bfgoodrich tires, i think its kool as hell

Most people who say they have beaten a Mustang GT haven't actually raced a Mustang GT.[&:] I had a kid tell me that same story right after I got my '03 GT. He must have been racing a 4cyl-auto-Deuce with GT badges to have beaten anything.
