Love the GTI. Owned a stage 2 MK5 for a number of years. It was an '08 FSI in candy white. Didn't get to do as much as I wanted with the car before I ended up selling it to a cousin of mine who wanted it dearly. 2" drop on H&R Coilovers, on 18" black Ultraleggeras, 3" CTS downpipe into a magnaflow muffler, no resonators. Was pretty loud but still very tolerable at low rpms. Stage 2 flashed by Revo back in the day, and some other various things like a neuspeed intake, Forge DV and R8 coil packs. I had other plans for the car but other things got in the way. The plan was stage 3 with a K04, upgraded injectors and upgraded fmic. 6 Speed manual, not DSG. Car was a lot of fun, made roughly 230whp. Only had it on the dyno once. It wasn't the fastest car I've owned, not by a long shot but it was still a lot of fun. It looked amazing, it was super practical and just enough power to have some serious fun with as a daily driver that got almost 30mpg. Probably my favorite interior of any car I've ever owned with those interlagos seats.

There should be more in the car. Is20 on regular general street tires I did a 12.1 at 117-118 in the summer in Florida.

[@sleepy-gti]

Slicks, 11.6-11.7. Tpc38 on street tires was a mid-upper 11 at 125 on all seasons

Fuel. Atmospheric pressure. Temperature. Track conditions. DSG tune or manual. All makes a difference.

EQT is no joke.

[@Carguylogan]

What was your launch technique? Were you full throttle the whole time off the launch control or did you ease off the gas a little after the car started to go and then get back into the throttle towards the top of first gear?

[@grayquattroa395]

That turbo should have you in the 11's with ease. Are you tuned by EQT?

[@alexxkolev]

Yes. This was my first time at the drag. Running on bad street tires on 93 and pushing only 29psi. On slicks and e85 i should do a good time. Can’t wait for the dragstrip to open :)

[@grayquattroa395]

@@alexxkolev I'd be curious to see how it runs with some slicks on 93 before going full E. Has to be some improvement on that trap with better traction. I'm trapping 116-117 mph with my IS38. Gonna be running E30 here soon, so I'm hoping to be in the 120's. Definitely give the 93 a pass with the tire and try it again with full E, always cool seeing the difference between the two. 😀

[@googleuser4268]

Apr stage 1 does low 13’s. How does this stage 3 only do less than a second faster ?

[@TheTexican05]

Street tires + FWD. It takes a sub-2.0 60’ to break into the 11s. Slicks or drag radials will get him there easily. The trap speed is the real indicator of power and acceleration.

Sorry I don't know much about golfs and I can't seem to find many videos, just curious how fast do you think a mk7 gti with dsg + is38 + (best stage/e85/the usual) power would be, someone showed me viddoy where it beat a hellcat, huracan, gtr, mustang (Unknown mods of those cars) Perhaps a gtr with alpha 12 mod would defeat it or something idk haha all these interesting vehicles with different mods combos I want to see race eachother but super hard to find video or bad drivers or incorrect mod list or this or that hahaha

hey man how come you are trapping 114 that low for vortex

[@alexxkolev]

Haha many reasons for that. Street tires. I was only on my 4th revision of my tune so i was only pushing 29psi. My traction control was not fully on. Also that was on pump gas :)

@@alexxkolev pretty hard to launch gti as they lose traction due to fwd wheels spin/hops. But if it was rolling, definitely beat the s3 cause gti is way lighter.
