Sure you can get those cars to run fast in the 1/4 mile but once you pass 12 seconds it not really streetable any more. I think if it can't play on the streets then why bother its just a trailer beeyatch.

Also the benz and bmw gets more pooty
Post pics once you pick up the C43

I hear ya mike. But that was whats good about a boost controller in the car. Driving on the street, drove at 14lbs. anything over that was insane. 14 was crazy enough. I almost put that car into the wall a couple times, because of loosing traction and horrible torque steer.

I will def. post pics of the c when I get it. Have a couple cosmetic pieces on order already. "over night parts from japan".

Go over to C&M performance in long island and ask what a fast jetta looks like, they'll point you over to the 9.30 1/4 mile beast in the corner.

Don't under estimate a VW's/ Audi. I know a number of them which would make a killing of any 55.

Good stuff. I love FI cars! FI = power! But yeah, your gas milage goes down the drain... you should see how our 55k V8s drink their gas

Some of you guys need to wake up. Just because it was a Jetta, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a little credit.

Hell, I'd give props to a Pinto that can beat a FI AMG. And yes, there are Pintos that can beat a FI AMG while being streetable.

advans if I had the car, I would run it against anything on the road. Win or loose the race is fun. There have been plenty of kill stories with that car, and some of my other cars as well as getting my *** handed to me too.
I know a kid in LI, that is running a stg.3 s4 that runs high 11's. I ran him on the street and he **** all over me. Ran him on the track and it was another story. Yes I needed the slicks but still beat him.

Newton thanks for seeing the logic here.

Found my dyno when the car dyno'd 470 whp. I will post a picture of it. There is a video somewhere .

For those who think fast vws are a joke ...

I would certainly do it, if I still had a vw, I just bought my c43 last week. I know some people that would be happy to have a friendly race though.

Btw is this not the picture of the same Jetta as in the The Fast and the Furious movie? He probably got his kill story from there.. ... as the guy who was loosing race in the movie cried: "Monicaaaa.." HAHAHA
