golfmkv and myfastgti but i dont go on myfast anymore, theres like no activity there gmkv is much better

 

I'll have to look into those sites. I'm on VWVortex

I am amazed at how much the GTI hatches weigh. Its ridiculous.

 

yeah they weigh an awful lot but w/e i kinda wish i still had the ss/sc bc it was faster and sounded better lol..let the mods begin

 

booooo its auto

 

For a hatch... a curb weight of 3100lbs is a lot.

And yeah... after watching GTI videos the last couple days, I am sadly a little bit disappointed, I think it is the weight that kills them. But oh well... they are still very nice cars.

 

yea if the DSG had a real manual function, i wouldn't mind driving one. it shifts alot nicer/smoother than BMW's SMG transmission. but you can hold gears in BMW's manual mode to the rev limiter, DSG will upshift instead of hitting it. still a fun ride, but when it comes down to it, its just an amazing auto tranny.

 

Welcome Kryptonkid, glad you joined. Looks like everyone on here is hospitable unlike some other forums. POST MORE PICS OF MY CAR!!!!

 

badass GTI bro

 

we have all kinds of car owners in here not just cobalts as long as you are cool we are cool back so welcome to the forum and your car looks real nice enjoy your stay here

 

Haha, wrd.

I'll try and get some more pics of your car... but we gotta go on another photoshoot.

thanks man. Forced Induction FTW! haha

thanks! I'll stick around.

 

Ummm, let this educate you a bit. It shifts faster than any human can...and has launch control like the SS/T...

Also a good peak at the DSG's shifts:

Auto's are better for drag racing.

 

DSG is an awesome technology. I don't know if i'd ever go to manual after the DSG.

 

Coming from about 7 years into the VW/Audi Scene, Its not bad to see another Vw guy interested in Gm's finest.

Clean dub!

 

yeah dsg ftw!

 

that is just outright sick...hey krypton have you hit the track yet? what does the car do on 1/4 mile bone stock?

 

mid to low 15's i think, im going to the track this summer sometime soon

 

I haven't gone to the drag strip yet.. maybe soon. 15's seem high. I've heard of some people getting about mid 14's bone stock.

 

What kind of Audi or VW did you have before your GM?

 

Sounds about right. 200ish hp @ 3100lbs should be 14's material.

 

welll haven't really been on this forum in a long while..

Haven't done too many things

matted my front grill after filling in the dealer holes:



New stance; Bilstein shocks, Vogtland 50mm springs:

 

Good stuff.

I picked up a 94 Jetta back in December... nothing special though.

I'll probably be picking up the wife a White MKV GTI next year.

 

Nice GTI. Seems like theres a few VAG guys on here. Makes me feel better!!!!
The people on this forum seem to be pretty cool!!!
Both my parents have MKVs, GTI 6 speed, GLI DSG.
And BTW, there is now a flash for DSG from HPA. Havent seen it on GTIs, but its on Rs...

Welcome to the board!! The MKV's GTI'S are really really nice. My buddy just got an 09 back in september...6speed..rides pretty nice!!

 

hey welcome to cobalt ss!

i like the gti, the interior is great, for the price you cant beat the interior quality, have you raced your friend's ss/sc yet?
