VW GTi

[986Jim]

I drove an A3 with DSG and it really was nice. I have always been a big fan of VW's and Audi's. Having owned a few of them before, I really like to stick with what I know. I have really put a few of them through their pace with racing and modifications.

My 95 GTI had a 150hp direct port nitrous system on it and really held up well. I ran 40-50 bottles though that motor at a varying power levels and it never complained ever.



My current Daily Driver is a 00 Jetta VR6 and I really enjoy it. It has a few mods on it as well. I just can't leave anything alone...



I have seen but not driven the new GTi but I'm sure it's akin with the previous models being a nice sporty well rounded hot hatch. I would buy another in a heart beat really...

I had a 1984 GTI in college that I bought new. It was a great car. 107,000 miles on the original clutch. It had 101 HP. Ran like a top.

The GTI's are great little cars, and a fun daily driver. A GIAC ecu tune will net you about 50hp and up to 85ft/lbs of torque. I am not sure on the 06 flash, but our other VW flashes run $485. The manufacturers leave a lot of hp on the table with these newer turbo cars. I flashed an 02 Audi Allroad the other day, 80hp and 85ft/lbs of torque....in less than a half hour Install some PSS9's on top of that, and all of a sudden you have a heck of a little car.

Are those S4 wheels? With those wheels caps I bet ALOT of people think it is an a4?
Ideally I would want the mrk 3 GTI body with the 1.8T engine. One quick stop to New Dimesions with $1 grand and you could easly run 250hp and alot stiffer suspension.
