Well with a good rocket on the back it should do a 3s 1/4 maybe..


That is a pretty broad question.. how much cash ya got.

I don't know with the Jetta... but just do as most..

If you want to go all the way.

80HP Dry Nos Shot.
Full intake system.
LSD's
Full race clutch.
2.5" Mandrel bent system.
Full fuel system upgrade. Pump, injectors.. etc.
New ECU
Turbo or Super Charge it..

ETC.. or just get a Supra or NSX or something.. Import a GTR..

If money is no object, why a a Jetta..

If money isn't an issue, why are you choosing a Jetta to make a go fast car?

My bf thinks they look cool. I dunno.. He just wanted to find out how to make it go faster. I want a Spyder personally, but whatever he wants I guess.

BAH! you'd take a Jetta over a spyder? what type of spyder are we talking?(because the MR@ spyders are ugly as sin) but if your talking say GT3000, then beat his ass down and get the spyder!

My bf's the one getting the Jetta.. I haven't picked my car yet. I'm lookin at the 3000GT Spyder though. Trust me.. You wont find me racing a Jetta. Right now I have a 95 Mustang with a 5.0 and a supercharger.. it kinda sucks so I'm looking into investing on tha spyder.

Good luck finding one. They are tough to get especially if you have something specific in mind. Took me almost a year to get the right one for me.

I wonder why your bf wants a Jetta. O_o

They aren't that fast and are ok for modding. As for the GT3000 Get a VR4.

*drool* Glad I have my Stealth TT

Tell him to save his money, and just buy a GTI, or a WRX. I own a Jetta VR6, and it is not the car for performance people. Plus it is a POS. However the GTI is lighter with the same engine choices. And the WRX goes with out saying, you can take a WRX to cobb tuning, and give them 5 grand, and run low 4's 0-60. That is what I am going to buy very soon. Oh yeah if money is not a problem, why don't you just buy the new M3 Convertible.

Jetta huh?
Well, besides the power (or lack thereof), the windows fall into the door every other day, it falls apart like crazy, and runs like crap.

Believe me from 2nd hand experience (my brother has one).

Ok, are we finished insulting Jettas? This is a Jetta forum, and I don't want to be rude, but some of us here drive Jettas... like me.
