Well, i wouldn't say that. We don't know anything about the car other than it is a GTI with 360 whp. What if the car was just a chasey a roll cage and those plastic body's they put on drag cars. that makes it what (rough guess) 1800 pounds? add street tires to the equation to explain a loss of traction and its possible. Or pink elephants came from the sky and accelerated his car to 160 mph on the quarter. Or he could have slicks and was real slow on the reaction time. That happened to a friend of mine's dad, he has a steptronic M3 and accidently put it into reverse rather then launch mode and ran a 17 secound quarter at 110 mph.

Personally i am going with the pink elephants theory.

Trap speed is an indication of power. 360whp is not enough power for 160mph traps. If he was gutted, blah blah..he'd run a really fast 1/4 mile at around 108-112mph.

That still that doesn't explain the pink elephants.

ohh, fair enough.

I still wish we could know a lil more about this mythical GTI and its 160 mph trap speed.

Have u guys seen the vids with that 360 whp GTI and the Turboed IS300 smoken LS1's. is this the GTI they are talken about?

dampachi · 03-01-2005, 02:29 PM

A 360whp car better be smoking LS1s. They're only rated at 320hp. And I'm not sure what they actually put down to the rear wheels.

of course it should and that IS300 in there is dynoed for like 500+ whp and 466 ftlbs of torque. i will see if i can find a link to the vids when i get home.

I brought it up becuase i wanted to know if anyone has seen these vids and if that GTI could possibly be the one in the movie i saw. I believe its a vision boy production movie or something like that.

CassiesMan · 03-01-2005, 03:04 PM

I've seen the vid, but only the IS300 portion. My favorite part? "Chase this bitch."

chexmixa · 03-01-2005, 03:10 PM

Dunno if u saw this part, but my fave was they did a then and now. They showed a Z28 getten beat by the IS300 then they showed him 3 months l8er with a new 100 shot of nos along with some bolt ons and it rapes the crap outa the IS300. Even though it was from a stop.
