Who here has raced a VR6 Jetta? If so how did it go lol? Please respond, i must get this info!!!!

 

YOu will be eaten alive!

 

listen to gtr........they are lighter and quicker than us =(

 

ummm no

theyre are pretty much the same weight, and if I'm not mistaken, the vr6 jetta has 170 hp. Unless it has a supercharger, it shouldn't be too much of a problem

 

2.8L 174 hp, 181 lbs-ft torque, 6 cylinder VR6.

The 4 cyl. turbo has more HP. The GTR's curb weight is 3,000 lbs same as the Jetta give or take 50 lbs...

How much do we weigh?

VW's BLOW!!!!!!!!!!

The shame of Germany...

 

I raced a vr6 in my auto with the a/c on and he was a stick assuming he didnt have the air on(windows were down)and i had another person in the car to just him. we raced until about 80 and he had me by about a half car length

 

except the new vr6 engine is 201 hp, but i dunno if theyre putting them into the jettas now

 

Yet another instance of 95emeraldgxe not knowing what the hell he is talking about.

 

Uh, oh...

 

dude.......
the vr6 has 200 hp and weighs 3054 lbs

 

Dude, no it don't...

Cool but I got those #'s off of um, VW's Website.....

Maybe it's for a future shame of Germany....

On to another topic...

 

the new 2002 vw's have the 201 hp vr6 engine. the 2001 and older had the 174 hp one..

 

Ummmm, nope. Click the link I posted.

Here it is again, let's move on from this

 

the info on the vw website is old

I RACED ONE!!! hahaha They are no match for my automagic 95 max. My friend has one, a fully loaded one. And One night, we raced it to the supermarket. Ha... slow. I even had a guy in my car. 1.8T is nothing either. I dont even have a Y-pipe.

 

But who cares? Maybe the 2003 max will be 250 HP but that would be in the other forum...

 

dude you should try racing a chipped 1.8T and then talking about it

 

eeeh what??

the 2002 Maxima is already 260 hp

anyway this thread is getting old

 

you have to race a vr6 from 70 mph and up.. they have no top end.. but they have 3 short gears and they will kill you from a dead stop.. FYI.. 2002 vr6's have 201 hp .. some 1999 GTI vr6's had 201 hp.. oh also.. for some reason the GTI's are faster than the jetta's

 

thanxx 4 da bakup sprint

 

What year maxima do you have?

If you have a 2002, then no problem.

 

I'll state again, you don't know what you are talking about. Only the current model year VR6 has 201hp and possibly the 99+ GTI (but that doesn't pertain the the Jetta). That means all previous model years are 174hp. That means 99% of the VR6s you face have 174hp. That means that every 4th gen maxima has more HP than 99% of the VR6s on the road. And where you got the "lighter" part I dont know. They are the same weight as a GLE, heavier than all the others. VeeTecs 97 SE weighs 2955 with fluids. That 3054lb you listed is a manufacturers dry weight, that's not the actual weight of the car as it sits on the street. Next please.

 

I meant 350....

Anyway, let's move on.
