Soo just a little while ago on my way home at a stop light was a VW Jetta i think..it was a 4 door w.bbs style rims on it realllll low profile tires and well to say the least it looked fast soo as we leave the stoplight and make the left on to Rt715(long twisty stretch of road) he guns it..i quickly follow after just messin w.him =](im frendly like that lol) so we get caught behind some cars and where going the speed limit and as soon as this one car make a turn we head for this over mile and a half section of road can pass on both sides. well i hear him down shift and he takes off at first i hear his exhaust and all motor..then i guess he hit the gass and i hear a huge whistle of a turbo and he takes off on me kicking gravle up at me. i gun it and hes gaining ground on me moderatly quick(if that makes sense) so finaly after taht i just let off and let him go we get to the stop sign at the end and i honk and he gives me a honk back =] thats pretty much it..lol car was fast never seen a VW that quick.

P.s The car was blue and really dirty but i could make out a red type emblem on the trunk across from the Jetta emblem..any idea what it was?

 

maybe a GLI?

 

Probably a 1.8T with a bigger turbo or tons of bolt ons and a tune.

 

yeppers..... some V-dubs can be very fast and handle very well..... mines not fast, but it does handle!!!

 

It could be the borat one wich I think is a gli I think lol but im gonna race a gli coming soon not sure what he has on lol

 

BORAT???? huh..... tony are you still in town?

 

Yea snow storm prevented me from leaving lol but yea I saw a vw that had bora or borat on the back wich I think its the same as the gli lol

 

BORA is the european badge for a jetta

 

Oh lol I didn't know that but that's cool but yea its the same as the gli isn't though cause it has the smae body style and rims and I guess same engine what do they run stock cause im gonna race a gli soon

 

Nahh i dont think it was a 1.8T but maybe im wrong..wow he was fast though..made my car feel so slow..and im one of the fastest cars in my town..=[ first loss..kinda hurts a bit..haha

 

idk i raced a vw once was a R32 thing kept up pretty good went home and found out there awd and have 320 torque and like 220 hp

 

there are guys on VWVORTEX forum that swap 1.8T and 2.0T's into base and older model V-dubs so you never know.... lot's of VW sleepers out there.... I was playing with what I thought was another MK3 VW GTI until he passed me like I was standing still and I heard the BOV (note: MK3's never came w/ turbos, just 2.0's and VR6's).

it could have been a BORA (Jetta) GLI..... they are the same

 

gt28rs lol

i stood corrected

 

yeah if you are stage two and you say it had bbs rims then it was probably a GLI. I'm not sure if a full bolt on GLI could take a stage 2 like you said because on the forums stock turbo GLI's usually only dyno with say 240-250whp and like 280-290wtq. but then ofcourse there are a few guys with BT setups running around with ~350whp

k04 is pretty much the same as the stock k03s turbo on the GLI's thats why they usually go bigger gt28rs etc

 

my golf would have beat him if i still had it 16v 2.0t built motor! i still have the motor

 

Are you located in central PA? Lebanon area? There are a few quick turbo VWs around here.

 

Cool so how do you think I will be up againts the guy im gonna race lol I was looking at the track times on the glis I think it was an 06 they ran 15 something so I think I may have a shot if he's not modify lol

 

hmm this in....stage II isn't fast. Trust me I know my buddy had a full bolt on K04 swapped chipped etc, and with my 2.9 and stage two he would pull a car from 40. and more from a 60

 

if he is STOCK and you don't screw up, you should beat him
2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged, 6.1 14.4
2006 Volkswagon GTI 6.3 14.7

could not find a GLI on the site I go to, but it's a little heavier than the GTI (hence slower)

 

lol im all the way in monro county saylorsburg..lol

 

it was a jetta GLI my friend has one and its ******* quick

 

it probably had apr chip'ed gli their arnt alot of upgraded turbo vw's since their kits are like 6k but most moded vw's have apr chip or revo (same chip) and intake

 

Maybe it was a TDI Diesel!!!!!!!

 

^^^^ LOL that would be some funny ****

 

Lol 6K for a turbo upgrade? Its like 1800 for the K04 upgrade and More like 2k-3k for non K04 setups like GT28's-GT30's and they need the rods replaced when doing that upgrade 75% of the time cause VDUBS cant make more then 300whp without popping. In st.louis there are more then a few 400+whp VW's. Not to mention a 10 second Dub and a low 11 second Dub.
