Iv taken my friends 1.8T Golf GTI 2 door..Then again im modded...INtake, exahust, quaife, fidanza flywheel...small weight reduction.
And were about dead even...his tourque kicks in early and goes before he redlines but stays steady.
Our Tourque (from what i can tell from may car) starts at 3500 RPMS and keeps going till about red line. I still beat him on good days....on bad days i lose by half a car length....all he has is exahust.
