Comin back from a BBQ at my brothers last weekend, and i was headed up hill, and a Jetta with 4 kids in it that i wanted to smack just because of the way they were dressed flies by.. i downshift and catch up, i get to the top of this hill and he guns it.. i floored it and were FLYING down the other side of this hill... i started to pull on him and as we hit the bottom where the hill flattens out i was doing 117.. i flew through a yellow light, and slowed down, stopped at the next light and he pulled up next to me... and looks at me like I'm the asshole, just because i was about 2 car lengths ahead of him..

People!

This sparked my interest. So he had 4 people in the car and you only pulled 2 cars? You should have pulled more than that. What engine was in the jetta? The 1.8, 1.8T, or VR6? I have raced my friends normal 1.8 jetta in my highlander and have destroyed him by 15+ car lengths up to 100.

i hear that the 1.8 is a horible engine... vr8 or w8 is a force to be reconned with though

nice kill people are always sore losers though

4 people in your car when going downhill seems to me to be a plus though does it not?

Nice kill... but 117 through a traffic light

.. bad idea

Heh...Definetly a bad idea. When my friend and me raced a '95 Mitsu 3000 GT over a hill there was a cop writing up an accident report. Thank god the two cars in the accident and the cop had got WAY over off the road

why'd you get pissed off at how they were dressed? seems a little shallow doesn't it?

Racing Rice · 09-19-2002, 07:23 AM

I doubt it was a 1.8T cause he probably would have smoked you.

Was it a newer Jetta or an older one? Just wondering.

Nice kills, lucky you didnt get more then one.

delsolvtec · 09-19-2002, 08:22 AM

1.8? I believe VW's engine sizes are as follows..

2.0 4cyl
1.8T turbo 4 cyl
2.8 V6
2.9 VR6

then there is the W8, but that's a luxury car.

I don't believe VW makes the 1.8 n/a four anymore. The stopped making those around 90-91. I am a VW enthusiast also, with a 1988 Jetta that has a ton of mods.

The W8 coming in the new passat. It looks pretty sweet. But yes, I believe your right about the 1.8.

the base and the sittiest engine on a jetta is the 2.0l

Did you get pulled over though? Or caught?

Ya real smart.. what if the light turned red a few secs sooner.. some poor family coulda been driving cross the intersection.. ! You both coulda hit something... two ricers racing nailed a cop out here in Vancouver a week ago running a red... the guy (cop) is dead now. If its a light its probably a 30-45 mph zone.. your bloody tripling a speedlimit

and your going downhill too!
BTW 4 pple going dowhill in a car is barely any plus at all -if your coasting- and once your accellerating faster than gravitys pulling you, your cars doing more work. *drops a physics textbook*
I hope you're happy you "won the race"...
