Re: Actual Drag Strip experiences vs. 1.8t's (djsilvera)
Well, last weekend my friends and I were able to find a dragstrip to race each other at. Well, I drive a vr6, only mods being GIAC, AEM intake, non-resonated neuspeed exhaust....one had a 1,8t with upsolute, viper intake, custom 2.5" exhaust and fdv. the other had a 3" custom exhaust, chip, downpipe, and some other stuff(pushing about 230-240 at the fly hp). well, the first race was me and the last 1.8t. We both had horrible launches, but he had nitto fatties on and hooked up. I spun almost all of first gear, but, caught up and stayed right behind him....he beat me by about 2 cars....then the first 1.8t I took with still a horrible, but better launch by about 1.5 cars.....I think with a better launch I could have at least kept up really close with the first one......
