Today I was putting along and this VW I think it was a gti and they flew up right behind me and tailed me till we got to a two lane. He got next to me and I nailed it the Gti was 2 cars back and then took off like a bat out of hell and was about 6 car leinghs in front by 90 mph. and Im wondering what the hell is in the GTI's.

 

if your not a SS then your prob not gonna win!

they have a chipe that gives them liek 50 whp and 50 tq!

not including intake and full turbo back exhausts

 

Probably the 1.8 Turbo

 

yea they are deff not a slow car

 

It sucked because I had my autotrans inercepter turned off so I had no chance. The car had exaust I dont know what else.

 

they're a good race for the 2.0, not the 2.2

 

Ok now I dont feel so bad, now all I need FI

 

indeed

 

whats your civic run.

 

Yea the 1.8t has 180hp and the newer one is a 2.0t with 200hp. Even though it is turbo, there is almost no lag in that car, they have very good power bands. The torque on those peak at just under 2,000 rpms and they are very easy to upgrade with a $500 chip.

 

Eh, they're not that quick but I think it's fast enough to beat a 2.2 in your condition.

Don't feel bad...I got beat by a modified GTI in my 06 Eclipse GT...defenitley wasn't the stock turbocharger lol.

 

now I dont feel bad at all I didnt think they had that much ass.

Would my gf's new beetle hang I have no clue what it has.

 

I don't know about the "very good powerband" part, that depends on the person. That turbocharger on that car is extremely small, probably as big as my fist. It has no "lag" cause it's extremely small and make crap for top end power.

As far as upgrades, yeah, it's easy to make any stock turbocharged car faster.

 

yea.. its prolly a good race for the 2.4's.. I know when I was stock my friends GTI with exhaust and cai wasnt far at all behind me when racing

 

my friend has the VR6 btw

 

with a 50 shot of no2 would I hang with a gti.

 

No one can honestly answer that question.

Only real answer: Try it and see what happends.

 

Time to get out the old efi wet kit

 

lol i dont race or mod it im waiting to get my $65k in febuary for the cobalt ss 2.0 and ive kicked a lexus ES 300 in the nuts with the grand pa bonneville the civic is a winter beater

 

They are very quick cars. VW wasnt joking when they made them crazy vdub comercials for them.

 

Can I race your civic so I can feel fast again

 

nice choice.. I honetly dont mind stock civics at all .. I only hate the ones that people rice up like crazy.. but I do have to say I seen a 06 civic si with exhaust and maby more and it didnt sound or looked bad at all

 

u deaf? i dont race or mod it its a gas saving grocery getter. come see me when i have the bonneville in my hands. nuff said

 

stock civics look nice for an econo box.

 

You can race my 88 Honda Accord. It takes like 2 minutes to get to 60 Mph. You should be able to put a couple lengths on it
