Ok even though this has nothing to do with the vette story I feel I should explain my buddies situation with his VW GTI. His car is quick. I'll give him that. It has virtually NO turbo lag whatsoever. We raced once before from rolling starts and he demolishes me. Instant spool up. He would honk 3 times and we'd go. I got it so I would romp on it on honk number 1, and he'd still outspool me...
Anyways, he picked up a passport escort GT2 or something like that, and it records HP and 1/4 mile times and all that, based on your weight and a built in accelerometer. When I ran my 1/4 mile time, he was riding with me, I only had my Xtreme street at the time, not the race tune, and my 34" super swampers on. I ran a 14.2 consistently. He runs his car a week after, no passengers, stock 18" wheels with sticky tires, and he is tuned. Cranking about 300 ftlbs now. He runs a 14 flat, and starts bragging how he beat me. I told him we're running it again, and I got something for him this time. He starts telling me he's only going to get faster with the warmer weather cause he's going to have more traction. So I got the race tune loaded, and I'm going to have the stock rubber tossed back on. I cant wait for the outcome this time... I will be sure to post back here when I get that done...
I will say I already have a faster 0-60 time than him, due to the 4x4 launch. Just need a little more go. We are both 100% stock, other than tuners, and I have larger(heavier) tires and a full toolbox.
