best thing about those cars are the lights

 

Love the GTi very nice car and quality.

 

yes he did

 

Are those plaid seats?

 

yes they are plaid. sorta a GTI heritage thing... the first seats in the GTI mk1 were almost the same pattern.

yes i have raced my friend's ss/sc.

 

how did it go? from a dig, roll...

 

Welcome, nice VW

 

It was from a roll.

 

how did it go?


well, this is how it went: we honked, accelerator was pressed, we went at it. he won.

i was at his front wheel, we didn't get to get into the next gear cause we ran out of room.

him: base tune (not yet fine tuned)
me: completely stock with DSG transmission




but anyway...

 

... i want plaid seats

 

i just saw your races on youtube, stumbled upon them by accident actually, you pulled on teh ss/sc everytime by a few cars!?!? nice kill, but how?

 

you sir, take some bad ass pics. very nice car.

 

your right all these pics are amazing, really amazing, they belong in a magazine or an add for the car, how expensive is your camera?

 

that was when he was still learning to shift, and before his tune.

before his tune we'd be almost dead even.

thank you very much.


thanks as well. my camera was like 700 new, now probably cheaper. Canon XTi.

Now you can get the XSi for the same price.

 

i never raced a modded gti, i raced a stock one and pulled a few cars from the bottom of 3rd to the top of 4th, 2 maybe 3 max, then again cobalts come out of the factory with different whp ratings i never dynoed mine.

i was in my friend's GLI last week, gorgeous car, he slid into an explorer with a hitch and a spare tire waiting at a light, he didnt hit the guy so fast, 3 miles per hour, but the hitch went straight through the bumper, and the spare tire dented the hood, 4500$ damage for a fender, bender, vw's are expensive!

 

haha.

well i dyno'd my car.


189whp


he got 209whp with his tune.

 

oh wow, i thought the new GTI's had around the same as a sc cobalt. i was thinking they were making 200ish to the wheels. either way, nice car man. those headlights are killer looking. as are your wheels. are they 18"?

 

no, they make 200 at the crank.

11 hp lost at the wheels isn't bad IMO.


Yes, they are 18's.

 

11 horsepower loss at the crank is excellent, usually its 10-15% from the crank, you only lost 5.5

if he's 209 with the tune, then his cobalt come out of the factory a little weaker than other cobalts, usually cobalts are 205-210

 

when i had my ss i dyno'd 225whp and 192wtq bone stock. idk i have to get my gti dyno'd hopefully will be around the 200whp 207wtq since i have the new revised TSI motor.

 

225! thats the highest stock number i've heard of,what kind of dyno was it on? you should be as fast as an srt-4, did you ever race one? what kind of dyno was it on?

 

dyno jet. and i didnt race any srt4 but i raced a 1.8t gti with dp mbc pushing 12psi (stage2) and only got beat by a fender, i would of pulled on him in 3rd but wasnt enough room
