Default How Quick Is An Old Jetta?

I'm going to TR15 on Sunday, and I'm curious as to what people think I can run. Here is what I have. And mind you OEM specs have it at 134chp, 133ctq, 16.4-16.6 1/4, and that would've been 16 years ago. The motor now has around 180k miles on it. Also, I'm not Alex Zanardi, but also not driving Miss Daisy. The passenger seat, and rear bench will be removed as well.

Engine:
1984cc DOHC I4
10.8:1
Autotech Chip (takes advantage of anything over 91 octane)
Autotech 10.4mm Wires
NGK Iridium Plugs
K&N Panel Filter
BBM Solid Front Mount
VF Engineering Poly Tranny Mount
RPI A/C Delete
ABD Big Bore Intake
Techtonics Cat-Back 2.25"

Suspension/Driveline:
H&R Cup Kit
Nippon Racing F2 15x6.5 (13.3lbs/ea)
Toyo Proxes 4 205/50/15
Front Brakes: 280mm crossdrilled,slotted, and vented rotors (from G60)
Rear Brakes 226mm crossdilled and slotted
Diff bolt kit

Nope. I'm not claiming it will be quick, but I'm curious as to how slow people think it will be.

You should change the title to, "How pathetic is this Jetta?"

who gives a shit if it runs 15.1 or 16.1?

Probably the same amount of people that give a shit about a 98 Camaro. Just remember I can fit 4-5 hot girls in my car more comfortably than you can. Oh wait, what's that? Full RECARO interior! Be an asshole all you like, I'm drunk and find it humorous.

I thank you, but I think I can fend for myself. I have a nasty habit of doing so after a few drinks, or 12 packs.

Seriously though, all opinions are welcome. Just make sure that if they are of a foul nature, you're prepared to get owned through impressive verbiage.

And I'll post up the times when I get back on Sunday, so we can see who over-estimated, and who under-estimated.
