GTI times
 

We took my brothers totally stock GTI to the strip today, its a 1/8th mile track, the car ran a best of 9.17. I am kind of impressed with this I think the best his SS cobalt did was a 9.4. In the first round of eliminations we were line up with a newer camaro LS powered automatic. The GTI beat him by .1 something I really had mixed emotions with that one.

either the camaro was a moded sixer or that driver need to be taken out back and shot....

No it was a LS1 I talked to the guy before the race. What 1/8 mile times will a stock LS Camaro run?

RE: GTI times
 

Well either they lied or the person in the Camaro cannot drive...

On a less preped track with an auto 9.20 somthing kind of seems in line.... there are quite a few on the Drag Times list in this range.

So you're saying I'm gonna hang with an SS in the 1/8th in my V6? Good to know =P I still think it's the lack of driver skill =P

RE: GTI times
 

lol this is complete bs i agrre it was a v6 ur the driver couldnt drive maybe he baked the tires down the track. my 98 ss ran a 8.6 all day stock at the 1/8 mile

RE: GTI times
 

No reason to BS you ... driver error is a possiblity but I watched the race the car wasnt sideways or the tires smoking maybe he was just over confident.I really dont see what is so unbelievable this is basicallymy brotherscar except it has the paddle shifters http://www.dragtimes.com/Volkswagen-...lip-15942.htmlyou have a video posted above that shows a comparable camaro running in the 9s at night (ie better air) I can easily pull up a few ls camaro times off of drag times showing 9 second times. I ran a LS gto earlier this year with my 79 camarothe GTOwas only running in the 9s. I guess I was just enthused seeing the times the vw put up I mean come on its a freaking rabbit(to the older guys) gulf (to the younger).
