OK, my friend has a brand new 2008 Scion tC, it is manual transmission with a Supercharger. He will be racing a new Volkswagen GTI with DSG transmission.

What do you guys think, they will be racing for money. I know the GTI has launch control

____

 

GTI.

 

And the winner is the one who stops racing on the street.

 

why do you assume its on the streets? it will be on a near by track.

 

I assume that b/c it is typically what people posting these "vs" threads are doing. If you're not, that's cool.

 

Regardless of where it is, the GTI will win. Same HP, same TQ, close enough weight. The car with the easier launch will win every time, which is the GTI, since the tC is going to do nothing but struggle to put 200/200 down to one wheel.

 

tC would win,Volkswagons are always getting their a$$ kicked by something

v who's with me?

 

Yeah, GTI hands down, the DSG transmission really helps it out too. someday hopefully Toyota will be smart enough to put that in a tC if it last that long

^ Nice job bringing this here

< With ^ because it's true

V Has too big of a head to realize the GTI is faster.

 

I was driving the other day and a dude in a new gti was rite on my ___. He was getting on my nerves so i thought id downshift and leave him in the dust. Lets just say it didnt go exactly as planned.

 

^ dude doesn't realize guy in VW wasn't trying to play fair

< knows GTi would win

v should know GTi would win

Quicker shifts, peaky HP but low end grunt too, VWs are always quick if they are driven right!

Fact is-the caliber of the drivers will be the biggest difference-Vw would be faster car just car to car

 

Those graphics must have given you 40 hp, because your power mods only put you at 150-160whp.

 

O thats funny. I should of expected you to say something stupid.. since all you do is go on here 24/7 and talk ish cuz you obvisoulsy have nothing better to do.

 

the 08 gti is an amazing car
drove it, handles better than most awd car, pulls like hell, shifts smoothly and has a kick ___ interior.

i sometimes regret not buying a gti....

 

fist off carbon knows what he is talking about. Plus if you didnt know that wouldnt work by downshifting someone doesnt know anythign about cars.

GTI hands down. S/C tC gets no traction

 

GTI should win, but Driver skill could play a big role in it. If the GTI's driver slips up just once that could leave the door open for the tC.

A lot of people think its just the car, trust me its not. The all important driver mod is what you need.

____

 

Thanks, but he's just mad because he found out those vinyls don't add power like he originally planned.

Can't really consider the driver mod, since that could change the outcome of a race between a Pinto and an Atom. But that's why I said the car that is easier to drive will win.

 

Who was talking to you? I never said i knew alot about cars, So your gonna tell me if im in 5th gear doing 80 and mash the gas it'd be better then dropping down to 4th? I never said i was gonna beat him, just saying he kept up better then i thought he would. So mind your buisness if you dont know what someones talking about.

 

carbon,

How does me making a comment about this thread have anything to do with how my cars looks? I didnt ask for your opinion... nor did i come on here talkin ish. but thanx for proving my point about your stupidity. but if thats how were gonna do it.. fix your gauge pod.
