Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General First stoplight shootout with a Jetta VR6

I'm not one to drag usually, but I'm new with my CSVT and a newer Jetta VR6 stick happened to be next to me today at the light and wanted to play a little. It was pretty much a dead heat (we only went to 50 or so), but when my little GreenHornet opened up at 3750 rpm he just looked over and grinned! When I barked 'em in second I think he was pretty impressed.

I love that you can drive this car by ear alone. I can't imagine a super quiet sewing machine Honda...you'd have to really watch the tach constantly. I like the visceral feeling of my GreenHornet. Just thought I would share my experience.

Well, some people will come at you with "no street racing stories", but, you only went to 50, so as long as the speed limit wasn't under 50, it wasn't really racing then was it? Anyway, those VR6's are good little imports. They can be made much quicker. My friend got smoked by one in his GTP. Glad to hear you love you car though, I'm tired of people posting about how they are fed up with it.
