Well my friend is actually buying one of these today and is eager to run me. All it has done to it is a catback exhaust. Its the 6spd auto also. (which is faster than the 6 sp manual)

Im on the stocker running 15lbs with a 2.5" turbo back exhaust (no cat or no resonators). My clutch also slips a little sometimes.

I think it should be a pretty good race. Ill let you guys know the results later tonight.

well i raced him a few times......20 roll.....30 roll a few times.... im going out now but ill let you guys guess the outcome . Guess who won and by how many cars...
Who won? How many hp and tq does the other car have?
I'm going to say the GTI won and by about 2 cars.

Keeloh, from the factory, it's 200/207.

agree the GTI should of had that upper hand. Outcome?
in my tbird running the same boost pressure, I was about 3/4-1 CL ahead of a manual in a 30-~ run ;)
i won all of the races lol. My best was a 20 - 100 roll and i had him by 3 cars.........



maybe my GT is a freak of a car. lol


the AUTO gti is faster than the manual.....lol

its the fastest shifting tranny with a dual clutch system. Shifts faster than a blink of the eye.


auto is 6.9 to 60 stock and manual is 7.0 according to this one site.



im happy though that my 800 dollar mx6 beat his 20 grand vw:)



BUT you say the gti is 200 hp and 207 tq....is that crank or to the wheels? the mx6 kills it in tq and at 15 psi is somewhat close to 200 hp at the crank.

20k? Last year they were near 30k :lol:

and I call shenanigans :p
he works at a dealership and he also had a 2000 dollar trade in. Its ok if you dont believe me. :)


ill see what i can do about a video
talking about the race, and everywhere I've looked, it just lists the power numbers as 200hp/207tq, take those as you may.

Also, the auto is not really an auto, it's a DSG from what I understand, you still have to flip the paddles...he was doin it wrong ;)
yes...direct shift gearbox. Has 2 clutches. The next one engages while the other one is still engaged making it able to shift very fast. i mean it should be aclose race though if you think about it with all the tq im putting down at 15 psi.......i stayed in 1st gear for the 20 roll at 4 grand and punched it and took a car right away on him....then slowly crept away
tell you what, I'll race you in a GTI and we'll see what the outcome is :p
im not paying for your plane ticket hahaha



maybe my gt is a freak or something. In my opinion i shifted pretty good too. so who knows.:shrug:


i know my engine is in good condition too. Well i dont KNOW for a fact, never did a compression test yet, but it hasnt burned a drop of oil since i had it in may. (2 oil changes not running the same oil still lol)
tell you what, I'll race you in a GTI and we'll see what the outcome is :p
I was the passenger in the GTI for these races. I don't know why you guys are so damn skeptical, the power numbers aren't that far off at all.

They were close races, but the mx6 was pulling on the GTI every time. One of the races the driver of the GTI was shifting up manually, at redline, through 2-3-4, and the mx6 was steadily creeping ahead. I ended up being the same outcome every time regardless of the DSG mode that was selected.

Regardless, the MX6 feels like a faster car now that I've ridden in both. I was impressed with the GTI, but it could definitely benefit from an intake and a chip. Being stock it didn't feel *that* fast.
Yes one time burnout was in my car and i one and the other times he was in the gti and i still won. I by no means killed the gti. The cars a fairly even for the most part but i still edged it out. We can try and get a video maybe tomorrow night. We will see what the wether is like and if we can make this happen.
The Mx6 has GOOD TQ To back it up thats why the 6 won :)
is your sarcasm meter off tonight? you know I'm trolling you, right? ;)

Everybody always under estimates the mx6 :D
