 i had a mirage with an AT for a rental car one day. i swear that was the slowest POS i've ever driven. my previous car (a '94 escort lx 5-spd) could have whooped it's ass. if a mirage can keep up with your g20 something is seriously wrong.

Im a Audi person and thus I know a lot about VW. The pre 02 1.8T Jetta (man vs man) would be able to hang with a G20 but its going to come down to the drivers on whos going to win. But if its a 02 1.8T or if it has a GIAC or APR chip its prob gonna smoke a G20. Chipped 1.8Ts produce 200hp, so if a VW/Audi owner with a 1.8T says hes got a chip dont race him!

VW's aren't that bad (looks/performance). I would never get one (maybe a Cabriolet - j/k:hehehe: ), most models are pretty girlie and they're way too common!
That's the best thing about Infiniti, everyone and their mother doesn't drive one. It seems like even Lexus' and Benz' are common nowadays.
So basically, "They all lose in the long run".

I raced a brand new Golf (about a month ago, still had the temp plate) w/ a chip and I was able to hang with him pretty easily. Is there a difference after chip with a 180hp Golf, in comparison to the older golfs (150hp?), or does the chip take the advantage away from the 180hp models? (like is the chip the only difference stock?) I've always wondered that.

I was going to say.... you don't wanna mess with a modded European car that has a good chip. Some of those damn things give up to 40hp depending on engine and other mods.

Yeah, there's someone in Phoenix that has a 1.8T golf w/ a garett (sp?) chip. he put something like 182hp and 203ft.lbs to the wheels!!!! that's insane! He wanted to race me, but i know he'd kick my car's ass!
Oh yeah.. the JWT chip for a 300zxtt gives is approx 65hp!!! Boost is good!

money? i think around 650ish? it comes with boost jets too, which raise the boost. I don't know if those are included in that price or not, i'd assume they are, but i truthfully am not sure.
