So up until now I have had the fastest car out of all my friends with my 3.8L 200k miles rs........but now my friend just got a GLI and to top it off he makes $20hr somedays and others he makes $10 and works a ton so he has the money to mod the hell outta it.....looks like im gonna have to save some money and sell my RS and get a Z but idk if that will even do it this sucks.... o and i make $7.40 hr working 16hrs a week....

 

Um a LS1 Z28 will run low 13s all day long stock, a LT1 Z28 should run very low 14s all day stock, A stock GLI should run low 15s stock about the same as the 3.8. A lot depends also on what year GLI it is and what he has done to it. The 1.8Ts where a joke and you should be able to take one stock. The newer 2.0T is a little bit of a hand full for a stock 3.8 but in the 1/4 it might be a close race. Also there are V6 3.8 guys running in the mid 14s with only basic mods. You also have musicman on here running well into the 13s on motor with his 3.8

 

if you have the fastest car of all your friends and its a stock 3.8 ... you guys need to figure it out... out of my friends group we have like 3 daily driven 10 second cars....cmon on now,,,, you should be getting the z regaurdless

 

Agreed

 

GLI is that a jetta

 

Yes its a jetta 1.8 Turbo,,, they have 180 hp... and the curb weight is 3k.... GARBAGE
thats not even that fast.... buy a real camaro hahahah

 

Yeah dude, seriously get a real Camarro(V8)! Not trying to be mean, just being real. A Z28 at least dude! And I agree with Dark knight. Me and my crew go from high 9s to low 13s max. And I'm the one in the 13s. My buddy Daniel Linnett is the current record holder for stock bottom end GTO. Check out Easttexasmusclecars.com and he's on the front page. We have him, Blue_thunder01, a Maggy supercharged 6.0 GTO, a Pro Charged Vette, and a few others. What all does that guy have done to that GLI?

 

wait are you saying i could take him or be close? cuz its all stock 1.8 turbo its a 2005 only thing he has done is cai its a 6 speed. im completely bone stock. i got 200k miles so id be scared id blow something. and i got auto.

if i were to race him should i shift it manual or stay auto?
what would be the best shift points?

 

yeah i know my dad wanted me to get v6 for gas mileage

and idk if i can get all my money back we bought it for 2900 and we replaced the intake gaskets the valve cover gaskets the oil pan gaskets and the rear end was redone and redone wrong...

 

why dont you just put the money you would use to buy a v8, and get some tasteful bolt ons? should put you over the top of him, even with 200k miles
