Does anyone else think there MKV made it out of the VW factory with a bit more power and torque than the specs show? I ask because I've resently beat a few cars that I should not have. A G35, a Charger R/T and a Honda 2000. Keep in mind that I'm totally stock. ???
Are all MKV's equal?

There is some variance in specs and it is possible you have an engine with a lil more ooomph, but usually not enough to stomp everyone.quick07 said:
Find another stock GTI and find an open drag night at a track near you.
A lot of it, comes down to the driver.

quick07, you did not beat a stock g35 charger or s200 if they were racing you. even if you had a little more umph (you dont) you still wouldnt beat them
I'm gonna have to agree with mygreyfast88. I've really raced a G35, and I can tell you that there is no way a bone stock GTI would beat the G35. Chances are, the G35 wasn't really racing you. Charger R/T has 340 HP, 390 lb ft of torque, he definitely wasn't racing you either. Now, the S2000, only 237 HP and only 162 lb ft of torque, I can see a GTI beating that pretty easily, especially if the Honda driver isn't very good at shifting.
Car & Driver list the Charger R/T at 5.6 sec from 0-60 and that's only a few 10th of a second off a stock DSG . So if anyone of our cars came off the assembly line with a bit more power you could possibly shave a 10th or 2 off the time. That, along with the other driver not being to good with the stick could equal a favorable outcome 0-60 of which I've had the pleasure.
I guess with all that being said I think I ended up with a car that is quicker than the 3 I drove before this.
By the way none were from a dead stop. 2 were a race to the driveing lanes from the toll booths, and the 2000 was on a straight section of the thruway at about 6 in the moring.

quicky, theres no way. just give it up. even with the s2000's minimal torque, it weighs about 5 lbs...
I dont think all MKV's are equal... I have the the fastest MKV ever and it is stock. I can't be beat by any car ever. It is just so fast there is nothing anyone can do to beat me. I dont know how to explain it. It is just magiclally the fastest car ever right from the factory. here is a list of the vehicles i have taking out. and yea they were racing at full throttle I asked em.
fully moded R32, Corvette, Viper, Susuki GSXR 1000, Mustang Cobra, and that rocket that set the highest land speed record in a dry lake. hope this helps.

the G35 was a 2004 sedan. 6.5 sec
the guy works at the building next door to were I work.
thank you for the support Dragon. I think the rest of you guys should do a little research before opening the pie hole.
I have been beat by a Maxima(2007),a 328 Beamer and a tricked out Cobalt. the Cobalt smoked me pretty good, which is all the more reason to at least chip.
