Unless something goes wrong, you will beat him. He needs at least a stock DSM turbo and/or all wheel drive to keep up. I like lots of imports, but people like that who run their mouths just give those cars a bad name. Shut him up.

Christ it doesnt matter if it is AWD or not, if it is stock its going to be a slaughter.

I wouldnt expect a stock turbo AWD talon to break into the low 15s.

i thought the TSI which he doesn't have was mid to high 14s so I'm guessing this guy is running mid 15's to a low 16 but i'm going by it being stock

ITs NOT TURBO? ROFL. Your going to walk him like a dog.

My family has owned 4 of these, One TSI, one talon non turbo, one laser non turbo, and one 1.8L. Even the AWD TSI wasnt that fast, even off a launch. You can't pull a WRX on these and expect em to live thru it (a redline launch that is).

Just floor it when the light turns green/someone says go. Screw lauch technique or anything else. You could spin all the way thru 1st and 2nd and still competely destroy this guy.

ya stock TSI's run low 15's but he's not a TSI so he's mid 16's you run low 15 or possibly high 14, either way you'll beat an esi and TSI would be closer but you should still take them both stock for stock

Ok lets say he has a turbo under the hood. Its still front wheel drive and will get NO traction. Etheir way it's going to take a lot of cash to make that car capable of beating him.
