..Took out back seats and panels also ....and the VR6 has 180 HP, well, atleast the GTI has that, and i assume their the same. so yea, its got like, 40-50 hp on me....w00t... my friend beats WRX's in strait a line with his 240sx, he only has some good suspension and a K&N filter on it, so yea, the jetta kicks the shit out of me on paper, but i kept up in real life.

i know it was a freak thing that I stayed with the VR6 as well as i did....infact it prolly wont' happen again, but truth of the matter is, is that i did ....

seats 10-15 lbs AT MOST

panels OOOOOOHHHH wow... 3lbs..

get real dude your spare weighs more than ALL of the things you've listed...

50 hp is a SHITLOAD.... what rpm is the vw figure at... I'm guessing it's LOW like 3-4k at most... those things have TONS of lowend torque... since you posted a question I'll explain...

Hp= torque x rpm

the reason you have 127 hp is because it revs to 7200 rpm... your peak is around 6800 because after there are much higher parasitic draw on power due to rotating mass and weight of moving components...

here's yours sort of... this is the 1.7 (probobly has more torque than you)

• Engine Type Gas I4
• Displacement 1.7L/102
• Fuel System MPFI
• SAE Net Horsepower @ RPM 127 @ 6300
• SAE Net Torque @ RPM 114 @ 4800

that's about .018 ft/lbs per rpm...

the reason the vw has 180-210 is because it has TONS of lowend torque..

• Engine Type Gas V6
• Displacement 2.8L/170.3
• Fuel System SMPI
• SAE Net Horsepower @ RPM 200 @ 6200
• SAE Net Torque @ RPM 195 @ 3200

That's about .032 ft/lbs per rpm...

Just to make this easy here are BOTH of your hp readings at a givin rpm...

RPM..... YOU..... HIM....

1000 18hp 32hp
2000 32 64
3000 54 96
4000 72 128 at 4k he is already OVER you peak.
5000 90 160
6000 108 192
7000 126 224

So ya if you were in second flooring it and he was in 5th at half throttle you should have a GOOD chance of a repeat win...

still wanna bet cars... I'll pay for your gas to get it to me.

the jetta has more torque at 3200 rpm then you have PEAK WITH NITROUS....

if this doesn't explain to you why your car would ALWAYS lose to this car then I give up... great job dude sweet kill... I ROASTED a 300zx tt yesterday... cuz there was a 90 yearold driving it and she wasn't racing...

PRAISE THE CIVIC GODS
