2004 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 1.8T 1/4 mile Drag Racing timeslip specs 0-60 - DragTimes.com

Not too bad... about the same trap and time as a stock 2002-2005 WRX

i'm a huge VW fan btw was thinking about getting a gti, just, i'm sorry awd is worth it. plus i think the interiors are highly overrated. my sister has a jetta but she's getting her gli soon, can't wait to chip it

The VW TDI is a great engine... I really like the Audi A3 TDI for efficiency sake

The RSX was turbo'd? no wonder...

On another note, I imagine RSXs (and anything with 11:1+ compression ratio) are very difficult to turbo, considering that high compression would cause detonation with boost...

I have an embarrassing story:

Back in the day about 2-3 years ago:

Was stock except for an Hks melon shooter catback, a stock Ford Focus hung neck and neck with me from a roll

Not as embarrassing but still embarrassing nonetheless:

Was same as above in mods, but with a helix tmic, a Rsx-S with mods was on my arse the whole time and I couldn't pull away.

Now with my mods, I don't have a problem with them anymore :tongue:

no, never said it was turbo'd, just said it has mods. I'm guessing i/h/e.

I know stock rsx-s' are faster than a stock bugeye wrx from a roll, but still embarrassing, at least to me

my bad, I read the part about the TMIC and assumed you were referring to the RSX. Naw, my buddy has a 2006 RSX-S w/ SRI and I ALWAYS take him from roll/launch whatever... with my Stage 1 wagon...

Well, the real reason you lost is beause "1.8T Never Lose"

lol in all seriousness, I beat even 2015 STI's easy. The 1.8T is a powerful engine when built properly

Did you join only to show us your stanced piece of trash and bump a 6 year old thread?

This thread is 10 years old...

8 of those years the gti was in the shop.

BIG truth.


I'm sure both the WRX and the GTI have long since been wrapped around a tree.
