Me vs GTi

(1/3) > >>

Rich:
Heyyyyy,

as you know i have a 1.4 GT TSi 170ps remapped to 198bhp

Well im know using V Power fuel all the time.

Today, down the motorway a GTi couldnt get away from me, in fact - i was JUST ( only just )  gaining on him ( in 3rd gear )


Now i would have thought the GTi would be quicker top end due its 2 litre has better power top end. I thought to myself, he's gonna beat me here, but he didnt, i ever so slowly gained on him.

I didnt race him from 1st or 2nd so im assuming im quicker on take off if i can just gain on him in 3rd.


Obviously this is with a manual - DSG i'd have no chance !!!  - You lotta are tuned to fck and have DSG !!


I was so chuffed - i couldnt believe it  :jumping: :jumping:


I cant wait to see what official bhp im pumping out - i'll have to get it dyno'd before i come down to Superchips on 6th :drinking:

VC:
naturally this was only accelerating to the national speed limit i assume  :innocent: (cough)

The wheel man:
As the power is about the same as a GTI it would be interesting to see what Torque your producing  :happy2:  Also, i wonder if they have the same ratio's in the gear box?  Would help if your was lower

Thats pretty cool. Remind me again what the 1.4 TSi is? Is it the cool Turbocharged and Supercharged engine? If so, I think this is an engine of the future for our emissions conscience times... and good to see it can still be fun!

i resent that comment MANUAL FTW!!!!!

Also driver skill could play alot in it, for example, my car has beaten a stage 2 ed30 with 330bhp but i dont believe my car to be faster or even as fast  :smiley:
