smoked a jetta VR6

Well, I was just cruising on a 3 lane street and there were lots of cars in front. There was no one on the right lane so i decided to change lane. Then there it was.

So we went for it. I killed him both times in second gear. Had him for about 3 car length or more.

What I'm wondering is that is there a possible hestitation in 2k max that you guys know? Or it was just my bad shifting?

I'm asking because he had me half a car length on both attempts on first gear. If I floor it I always get wheel hop.

I don't think2000 Max has hesitaion that 2002 Max has. I used tohave 2000 SE 5-speed and didn't notice any hesitation.
I think Jetta VR6 is not that slow, if the driver was good and it was a manual.

Even the new VR6 with 200 HP isn't as fast as the '00 & '01 Max's...especially if you had the manual. If the VR6 Jetta was a new GLI against an auto '00 or '01, it might win.

Yes, it was a manual. By listening to his engine rev, I don't think he has any mods on it either.

Watch out for modded VR6s. The guy in the 2000 or so Maxima on 91South was not happy when we were still side by side at 100 and I started walking at 120. And all this fun with 18 missing degrees of ignition due to a bad knock sensor.

Ya with the turbo's they're easy to toss a chip on and they can make some decent HP. But its a VW... enough said

Who in their right mind comes on a maxima web site only to bring up a 4 month old thread only to say he beat a maxima in a street race? Not to mention he is driving the #1 rated car of gay males from the ages of 18-25.
