The GTI with mods/labor is around $30000 +$32000 for the car that will beat almost everything that is available today at any price.

0-60 in 3.2 seconds 1/4 mile in 11.47 & 127.00 mph

I always subscribe to more with less!

the R32 is nice from a standstill, but as you go faster, the AWD tends to rob alot of power. Granted, once you get to insane power levels, it doesn`t really matter anymore (read the AMS Evo).

I am not sue what you mean - 3.2 to 60, 11.00 sec to 1/4 mile 208mph top speed

When Motor Trend did a shootout, the R32 beat all the other ""exotic" cars in the test. Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche etc... the GTI came out as the winner. Total cost: $60000.

Try putting that much power on the front wheels!

30 grand is ALOTT for aftermarket mods. plus i think the fbody platform has that vw beat anyway. take 35000 for a new t/a ws6 (brand new 0 miles back in 02). and take a nice turbo setup around 18 psi and u got a easy single digit car.

either way i still think that 95% would rather have a mid 11 sec z06 than a 11 vw.

to each their own :lol

The GTI is the total package and not a straight line ride. I don`t think I heard anyone mention sleeper either.

I am the 5% for sure, but I never cared for that Fbody.

30K is not that much if it beats true exotic cars and seats 5 with lots of trunk space. I think you are comparing apples with oranges.

How long do you think that the HPA R32 could sustain those kinds of power numbers anyways. I mean really, side mount intercoolers? Heat soak anyone? Alot of the 0-60 time deals with an AWD launch. I`d like to know its 5-60 time. Not trying to bash (even though as I re-read this it sounds like I am), but I think I`d rather have the Z. I would like to see what HPA could do with an aftermarket front bumper with a huge cutout for a large FMIC and running open downpipes.

Long live the Fbody. It Was the baddest non corvette that chevy had going (even made some vette owners take notice between `98 and `02...you and I know why!)

You can make anything go fast on the street these days, so to each his or her own.

But the Z06.....any z06

:woot2:

**atticdog** · 12-03-2005, 06:27 PM

awesome video

but

I got alittle 1.3 liter that will take that vette :chuckle:

**imported_Neothin** · 12-03-2005, 06:49 PM

I wish my Gixxer 600 could do the same

Besides, busa`s are rocketships on wheels, they don`t qualify!!

**atticdog** · 12-03-2005, 06:51 PM

i think your 600 should take it in the quarter?

what year is it?

if its an 01 or newer its capable of running high 10`s

Heat soak - watch the videos.

If interested you can visit their site (www.hpamotorsport.comor www.vwvortex.com) (r32 forum) I remember that the 0-30 was 1.2 seconds

Did you watch the videos?

**imported_Neothin** · 12-03-2005, 07:21 PM

No I didn`t. I`m on 56k. What`s in them?

Attic, its a blue/white 04. I can`t launch worth a crap though. I either bog down or spin the tire. I don`t have enough clutch/throttle finese. But hey, I`ve only been riding it since feb of this year and only started trying to ride it hard recently so I`m still kinda new to it. I`m sure with a good rider it could.
