Golf, Jetta, Beetle?

well put it this way, i took my friends 1.8T(gulf 180hp) stock, i demolished it, then a few month later he boosted it @16psi and i was left coughing jetta dust

Since your a 2k3 you should be able to take thos vw's with no problem :)

Maxima wins, no problem.

I just cam eback from a drive...I drove......For sure, stock, not close. But, it does have a crap load of power between 1500rmp to 3500....after that, it dogs....Boosted, ofcourse...and it cheap....16psi...what number BAR is that?

14.4 PSI = 1 Bar

So 16psi/14.4psi = 1.11 BAR

nice....why sort of dyno #'s do they get? A buddy of mine with one dyno'd at 190fwhp, and 240fwt....he was a dog of a driver, and he was able to run a 14.5...his buddy a 14.4 with teh same mods....Anyone here any better with just that?

Yeah.. there was someone who ran a 14.2 stock with a 2k2 6spd. 14.4 is definatly attainable, still, you need to be a good driver though.

i went against a friend who just got a his 2000 1.8 jetta, I had to promise him I wouldnt use 2nd.....
I still beat him, but I didnt need to shift (kinda out of the whole fast on the street thing ;))

I have an intake on my Maxima, and I did a little better than that time.

slips? also what track conditions etc...thats the quickest trap I have seen with just an intake:thumbsup:

Yes. Actually, in the singular tense as my times that day were anywhere from 14.1-14.3 dependent on how much heat soak I could avoid between runs.
Home of the Gatornationals

The track is under sea level, the times are all indicative of that.

The track has a very long history of quick times because of it, make note of the Gatornations reference, previous.

The conditions: Early spring, track temps in the high 50's, humidity around 30%, high barometer readings.
Thanks.

nice times 13's aren't to far away:)

I believe the 1.8Ts are not considered a competition nor the VR6s...Jetta's are just slow period....unless boosted of course...

I own both. <-- homepage

The Max is the beast, and the best all around car to drive, but my 337 is fun as he11 to drive and it has tons of potential. Later this summer the 337 will get the chip, Intake, and boost controller, then we will see where it sits. If the wife dusts me then I will have to juice up the max and make sure the throne is maintained. :D

2k2_6spd has trapped at over a 100mph with his gab mod, and a powertech (and we all know they don't add any hp just sound). This was in Phoenix at about 1500 above sea level
