GSR vs gti vr6

i was coming home from my friends on mcmullen and someone in a new model black gti vr6 pulled up next to me. He was trying to race me from a roll for a while but i kept turning down the race. But then the closest light went red and we slammed our brakes to catch it. We took off even from the line. I had him til third. we hit about 85 before i figured a cop would be around. I was ahead by maybe 2 feet. I could look back at him...close ass race. He had a DTM tip and an olympic liscense plate.

i've seen a fast vr6 at an auto-x in connecticut. i'd say the car was 10% responsible and the driver was 90% responsible for the fast times, but still...180hp is 180hp...or whatever they're rated at.

vr6 corrado's are the lightest vw's and they can barely muster 15.0's at the track.

again, numbers speak for themselves, and i'll race a vr6 any time without much worry.

Chet,

Corrado's are not the lightest vw's out there. They weigh anywhere from 2600-2900lbs.

You probably will beat most late model vr6's. You have a better Hp/weight.

are golf's lighter than corrado's?

i really don't know vw's at all...i just assumed that they are heavier because they look larger...and the newer ones have more power options and safety features making them heavier...or so i thought.

which vw, that has a vr6, is the lightest?
