Redline-2 / 2007 GTI-0

So im cruising on my way home minding my own business when a 99+ mustang GT passes me and then i spot a 96-98 GT in front of me, so i figure they will toy with me, nope they start messing around with each other so i passed them and went on my way cause i spotted HID's coming up fast on me.....So i get over in the next lane so i can see what it is, what do you know its a Red 07 GTI with tinted windows, i couldnt see if the guy was looking at me or not, so i just kept cruising and he stayed right next to me, then he punches it when i look away. Im like okay just take off , so i punch it and catch up to him, so we slow down in 3rd and im at like 3200 rpm a horrible start but o'well, im sure he was at about 4 grand or higher since their 6 speeds, well he punches it without me knowing and gets a car ahead, i reel him in and pull a car ahead of him...But wtf those things can move, so we finally line up neck and neck and i let him punch it first and he does, we stay even for about 1 second until i get to 4 grand then he starts fading back, then i shift to 4th and i have 1 1/2-2 cars on him and i just kept pulling pretty hard. Those things are pretty quick though, i started way out of my powerband in each race, wish we could have went from 2nd @ 40 then i would have destroyed him like nothing. But he pulled up next to me when we got off the highway and said good race and so on...and he did the hand motions like this was my car and you just started pulling away from me. Really cool guy and those cars are suprising.

I raced a 2007 Silver GTI, those cars are pretty quick. I like the way they look to. What can I say i like hatches. I was heading down the interstate when I came up to him and started to pace him. He finally got annoyed and dropped gear to I am guessing 4th so i went to third and we went from 65-110 I pulled about 1.5 cars on him before he backed down. We pulled over at sonic and he said nice race and wanted to go from 40 so I gave him they my car isn't good from 40 but we can try. Sucker!! I let him give the three honks and we were off I pulled about 2.5 cars on him in 2nd and 3rd and ended up opulling about 3 cars on him until my radar detector went off. Nice car and pretty quick.

Those things are pushing out 200 hp and 207 lbs. tq. easily comparable to us, but i am sure them numbers are not to the wheels

yeah watch out for the ones with APR tunes my Friend has one 220whp280wtq NUTS for just a tune He has sence got stage 2 wich is a intake and exaust added to that so hes about 240whp 285wtq.

Only problem with them is the torbo is done at 5K it toung is haning out.
It weird too hes pushing about 22 psi down low like 3k then after that it will fall of toa bout 10psi by 6k. but amasingly fast for just tune they run stock injectors.
