The aerodynamics of a brick don't help either lol.

Yeah it did. I ended up trading it and suck up a $4,300 hit. Instead of $299/mo for my lease it's $432. Negative equity+impulsiveness FTL.
I like your paint job, one of few I've seen flat that isn't splotchy.

I can respect that car... I think a stage 2+ GTI would take it though.

Yeah thats a bummer...
What you expect from a professional paint job? lol
I'll let you know when I race my friends APR stg 2 on 91 oct. mode.

I think it would be super close.
I think I GTI with Stage 2 (93 file) plus a FMIC would be enough.

Possibly... though I am tuned for 100+ octane at WOT. It'd be a drivers race
To be honest I havn't got a chance to track it or dyno it from my last dyno. Should be a mid-low 13s second car on Street Tires.
I was having heat soaking issues last I went out, but and was getting 2.2 60s. Eh... Come december we'll find out lol

was a embarassing 14.4 to 14.5. I was heat soaking very badly, and we were both doing 2.2-3 60 footers
At the time our cars would be roughly the same. My only cooling mods were a Cobra Heat Exhanger in line w/ my stock H/E on my lil 2.7" pulley. Would take him by a car or two from the line, then back half he would catch up because my car was heat soaking so bad in 3rd gear "160+ degree intake air temps".
A lil while back, I went to the 1/8 mile w/ all my current mods, wasn't getting my 60' down "clutch got to hot on me, and kept slipping". So I had to peddle the gas, and still was trapping 2-3 mph faster than he was, and no I wasn't spinning off the line.
My car is definately faster than a STOCK TC now. Modifications are on page 1 for an explanation.
They are fast, yes you will need at least APR stg1 to keep up with one. But they are beatable, you just gotta mod right.
---------
Unfortunately a aquantance of mine who has a SS/TC has left the country for a few months for his work. And I won't be able to race him at the next event. Though I will go up against a friend of mine w/ APR stg 2 on 91 octane mode. Should be a great race; it will be his first time out at the 1/4. He feels very confident he'll launch well... I just said GL lol - Though he may just learn to launch the car properly... All I know is, when I first went to the track, it was as if I had to learn how to launch all over again.

I've seen "professional" which includes leftover masking tape which pulls off chunks of paint with it, and pieces of paint that flake off in your hand when you close the hood. Different colors by 3-4 shades body to bumper and 46 drips in the clear coat.
And I've seen professional like yours. :biggrin:
