Thought I would make this thread because it was on my old Lancer forum and I did some searching on here and couldn't find anything beside the sub-forum "GTI vs." If there is a thread on here like this and I duplicated it, I apologize and please delete this for me!
Today, I dominated some high school kid in his 07ish WRX as we raced on the highway on ramp. Yeeeeee! [drive]
Today, I was on my way to the light rail station and parking lot and two new Toyota Corolla's cut me off in some weird race they were doing. We all pulled up to a stop light on a three-lane road, and were all in our own lane. Needless to say, at least they tried.[owned] ;D Win number two for Scarlett! [drive]
Have to say, I'm suprised the impact the DSG can have. Quite a few higher HP cars have thought they could take me (350Z, WRX) and gotten a rude surprise when they couldn't shift in time to keep up.
So your all telling me that out of all of the members in this forum, none of you have had a little race recently? Or maybe no one has won recently? Just messing around and trying to bring attention to this thread! ;D
I live in a small town, so not only do I not want to draw attention to myself, the odds of me lining up with somebody in a worthy car, at a light, and willing to go is very very low. and when it does happen, I have my gf or a dog in the car....

I don't generally "race" on the streets. Last time I tried it was against a g37s. I got smoked. Later I found out it was my co-worker and he didn't even know he was racing. He was just trying to get through traffic and beat me without trying. :/
beat some kid in a 2006 mustang gt, he kept saying his exhaust (catback) gave him like 30 or 40 hp... i lol'd when i pulled away and the look on his face was priceless hahaha

It's finally starting to pick up too! It doesn't have to be limited to just MK6's. I'd love to hear anyone's story of how they kicked some a$$ in their VolkSWAGen Get There Illegally as your signature says.
But srsly, I have yet to be "challenged" since I went stage 2. Figures.
I highly recommend to everyone to hit up a local auto-x event at least once. You will really experience your GTI's limits. Actually, you will more than likely reach your limits as a driver before your cars.

About a week ago there was an SI driver that slammed on the gas as I pulled along side. I left him so far behind so quickly that I had to brake for many seconds before he caught up. We both had our windows down and asked if he wanted to try another speed since we were doing about 40 when it started before. He condescendingly smiled while shaking his head as if he was the better person and when I asked why not, he motioned ahead and said, "Traffic." The "traffic" was about a mile out.
I haven't dyno'd it or anything but Uni says 280hp / 325ft-tq and 20psi of boost
Its utterly amazing that this thing had this power inside. I knew it was going to get better but:

It's always the traffic... He11 yeah man! Feels so good to just leave someone, who thinks they're hot shiz, in the dust.
