I've heard of S197's hitting anywhere between 255rwhp all the way up to 275rwhp stock. Kind of crazy.

I've never heard of a 2 mile drag race before. Have fun and be safe.

Bull****. No way a 1.8T is picking up 50 whp from a tune alone. The MK4 GTI would be lucky to get 150 whp stock, so maybe a full exhaust, intake, tune and a few other things could get them to about 200 whp but no way a tune alone.

We did it tonight.

Well the road was clean free of ice and un-used.

I won by 4 car lengths (my max speed was 109mph).. well mustang car lengths. I would have done better but he has somethign called "lanuch control" and I was slow of the line.

Wasn't timed.

So it is put to rest. Lightly modded musgang GT > lightly modded GTI

When we got back home he bought the beers and I have to admit I like the GTI's interior more then the mustangs but overall I love my mustang.. would have still loved it even if I lost.

the new GTI's are a pain to launch and they're heavy (3600lbs for a 3 door hatch is crazy). even with a tune, they're not too quick, at least not from a dig. from a roll is a different matter

edit: ah, he must have had the new DSG trans in his then. the 6-speed cars don't have that

want to explain why a tune only Cobalt SS/TC went from 250whp to 300whp then???

in a 2 mile drag race you won by 4 car lenghts? That GTI did pretty darn good if you ask me

flg2010

Well either that or I really suck and didn't push my car.

Overall I was surprised that the GTI was so difficult and honestly we were neck and neck for the first 1/2 mile.

You must have gotten slaughtered off of the line, nice kill though.

in 2 miles you only got t 109? i did 107 in the quarter mile....you should have been able to bounce off the speed limiter in 2 miles.
