Well i closed up my shop at night and i was heading home. So im at the light and this jetta is close to my bumper so the light turns green and i hit the gas lightly pull away so im idling at 50 and then he passes alittle fast by me. So i floorit and get to him quickly pass him and then we get to the light. So i tell him lets race hes like okay he was reving that brand new jetta he has the new tag on it. So i launch it no way in hell i must of spanked him by like 20 car lenghts it was so sad and then we got again at the light and i was talking to him about puting a turbo in his car, very nice car. Its nice to race people like these

20 car lengths? I find that hard to believe.

1994 Dodge Intrepid ES 3.5

HP - [email protected]
TQ - [email protected]
LB - 3519lbs

2001 Volkswagen Jetta VR6

HP - [email protected]
TQ - [email protected]
LB - 3166lbs

This would be a pretty good race, with the slight advantage to the Intrepid, with the better power:weight ratio of about 1lb on each TQ and HP. It would be a close race, definatley not 20 car lengths.

2001 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T

LB - 3155lbs

Now, this little car with this particular engine option would give a 1G 3.5L a run for its money, and in a lot of cases come out the victor. It suffers a disadvantage in the power:weight ratios, but the torque comes on early, and stays through the powerband. We'd have to be paying attention to get these guys.

2001 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0

LB - 2945lbs

No doubt about it the Intrepid would be the winner in this case. By 20 car lengths? Doubtful, unless the guy was standing on the brakes.

Good kill anyway, and its great the guy was cool about it.

Just a little bit o' info.
