Yeah so we went to a local VW show but really we just raced my friends GTI all day. Car dyno'd 550 whp about a couple months ago. This is the first time he's been out with more boost, but what is holding him back is that he needs taller slicks :( So I assume we'll be adding those and taking it back out. Best time of the day was 11.6 (3 times) but the best trap speed was 129 mph.

Then we loaded the car on the trailer and took her home and got some ice cream, then went to our friends uncle's house and he had his car outside:

GTI is a dedicated track car now - no insurance. Plus it made 550whp lol... it can shear axles at any point.

LHD yep.

One of about 50 in the US


That brake duct is ducting for the intercooler, one on each side. Its a twin turbo V6.

We're going to Atco on thursday we think. I really think a perfect time is simply a matter of seat time and some taller slicks for him.
