    me and one of my friends were driving back to school and the first run we did after were doing alittle weaving to get around traffic was about 80 to 120 where we went about dead even the whole way (he said he didnt downshift to 5th otherwise he wouldave had me). but then when we jumped on to the other highway there was no traffic, when we merged on we were doing about 40 he was in front of me and i heared him reving up so i nailed it. i was probubly about 2 or 2 and a half lengths behind him and we went up to probubly 120 i beat him by 2 maybe 3 lengths. my car is bone stock.

    I think its funny how people always "forget" to downshift. And as soon as you beat them the first thing out of there mouth is "oh i forgot to downshift or i would have had you". Well then dont forget to downshift jackass. Good kill btw

    The GTI have tiny little stock turbos, not the best for racing up top. But the 08's run high 14s at around 95, wierd a GT killed him, but oh well, good kill.

    umm...You can spend like 70 bucks at your local junkyard and pick up a 04-05 PCM and you will have one. I spent 55 and now have a custom tune PCM..not a big deal! And you can call ZZP or Will at Overkill and they can tune one for you and send it to you! So yes they do have them for our car.

    Will is yet to answer my email. zzp isn't a good choice from what i heard and a custom tune doesn't do things like remove rev limiter and other stuff . . .

    What???

    A custom tune DOES EVERYTHING.

    You need to re-read those things.
