Congratulations on the 13's..

There is a stock GTI that's gutted and on slicks that got deep into the 12's. Hell, in the big perspective, 12's really aren't that fast either. It's quick for a street car but FAST and QUICK are two different things.

What engine are you running? Only reason I messed with you was because of the "your import sucks" on your window, and as irony may have it, it wasn't an import engine that beat you

Sorry man but you are wrong here I read the thread and usually dont get into stuff like this. You car will go faster on a dyno. Go take your car on the street in 4th it will not see 135.

it will accelerate faster, but your gearing doesn't change on a dyno, i believe that is what he said/meant, at 6600 rpm his car was going 135

12s slow? I doubt a WRC Group A car could get faster and most of that is due to really tight gearing. WRC=slow shit. Err I mean not fast, just quick.
