Re: camaro vs GTI

Its not exactly like the 3800 series motor is loaded with upper end torque either. What are the trans. options in both cars? I would say it would be a pretty good race, but am leaning towards the Golf with its weight advantage. Only one way to find out.

No, unless he messed up driving in which case he would want to run again.

My friend has a 04 GTI 1.8T (factory rated 180hp) and beat a Matrix from a 65mph roll with me in the car.

Re: camaro vs GTI

The camaro has the advantage of traction.

I always felt mine pulled best in 2nd and 3rd gear, My sister has the 1.8T jetta and it's a pretty quick little car! (mines faster then hers thought)

Re: camaro vs GTI

That GTI isn't exactly a slow car. Is the VR6 stock or is it chipped. They run very well when chipped. I have driven an older VR6 and it flys for a little car.
