New kill: 1.8T

Saturday night, met up with some Max's at the local cruise scene.
On the way to the meeting place, I was leading the other max's. Some brand new GTI (silver) pulls up on my right. I try to ignore them, cuz I really am trying not to race anymore. DAMN, the light turns red and he's next to me. Well, I can't turn back now. Check for cops. Light. GO. Who wins? ME?! Yeah, not by too much, but a definite win. So we all get to Lowes, and my buddy says, "you do know that was a 1.8T, right?" I looked at hiim and was like...you're kidding.... Yeah, my auto sled beat a 1.8T 5spd. No more racing the rest of the night; I was a good girl.

You can do it!
Go, Max, SHIFT!

I am not trying to scare anyone, just curious how I'll do against a Maxima.

No, I'm selling the max.

This kid I know who just got a 2k2 1.8T insists that it had to be a 2k1, but the back lights looked newer. Oh well.

2001 models had the AWW motor (150bhp - but APR Stage 1 could bring that to 195bhp). 2002 models have the AWV motor with 180bhp. The tails are a poor way to tell. If you visit the VWVORTEX, you'll see that almost all of them change their tailights because there are that many different colors and patterns available.

Good kill though...

RACING, of course!

All Mark 4s (1998-2002) have the same shape taillamps:

clicky

BTW, before your H&Rs settled, did the wheel gap look different from stock at all?
