Discuss the differences in performance here.
The base model engines in MkIII-MkIV Golfs/Jettas have that much torque.WhiteMkV said:actually the si has around 130-140 lb/ft.
What are you doing with your Fast to get that sort of gain? If you're talking about the chip then you won't be seeing quite that much at the wheels.tboneus said:You cant count out how easy it is to raise the power on a GTI as well. For about $600 you can get 60hp and almost 100 lb-ft of torque. There is no way you can get that much power out of the Si that cheep.
...More reliable? how does one know that? sounds like someone has his undies in a twist... as you can see this isn't a ricer boardyee said:i think its lame to trash honda for making a car with super high revs but little torque. that thing can still go almost as quick as a gti, its cheaper, more reliable, and most likely lasts longer. its also the other car im considering buying.
more reliable? im basing that on honda's past in terms of reliability. and no i dont have my undies in a twist, i just think you guys aren't giving the si a fair shot, as it is the gti's main competitor. and you dont have to be a ricer to appreciate an 8,000rpm redline. a ricer is someone who takes some pos jap car and slaps a bodykit on the car and thinks itll beat anyone.Kr?gmeister said:...More reliable? how does one know that? sounds like someone has his undies in a twist... as you can see this isn't a ricer boardyee said:i think its lame to trash honda for making a car with super high revs but little torque. that thing can still go almost as quick as a gti, its cheaper, more reliable, and most likely lasts longer. its also the other car im considering buying.
Also, if the car has ANYTHING on it ANYWHERE that says "Initial D", it's a ricer.yee said:more reliable? im basing that on honda's past in terms of reliability. and no i dont have my undies in a twist, i just think you guys aren't giving the si a fair shot, as it is the gti's main competitor. and you dont have to be a ricer to appreciate an 8,000rpm redline. a ricer is someone who takes some pos jap car and slaps a bodykit on the car and thinks itll beat anyone.
