Freeway kill: My Evo versus R33

I was driving on the 210 freeway, when I saw a blue colored Golf. Something about it made me notice it. I looked at the driver, and I guess once I got ahead of him, that he thought he could play with my little rice rocket. I see him in my rear view mirror, speed up really quickly. Basically I downshifted, and followed him from behind. I almost smacked his rear bumper. He cut in between two cars, and matted the gas. He was actually pretty quick, which makes me think he definitely wasn't in a GTI w/ the 1.8t, unless it was modded of course. Anyways, I finally see a clearing. By now he is a couple buslengths ahead (Thanks to the California asshole mentality of people speeding up and slowing down, messing up my fun). I mat the gas, and build boost. I hear the turbo whine. I wasn't paying attention to my tachometer, and I hit my rev limiter :rolleyes: (Mine's set for 7200 rpms). The car stutters a bit, and then I shifted into 5th. Apparently this guy was fearful of the turn, so he slowed down. Luckily by the time I got around the corner we were both even. I kept on the gas (We both hit the turn at over 100 mph). I left him by quite a large margin. I thought he gave up, but right while I went off the exit ramp I saw him mash the gas while on my side. I guess he didn't think I beat him soundly. Oh well. I'll chalk it up as a victory.

its R32. good kill.

Read Title: Thought "Skyline sweet"
Read name: Thought "Wait a second..."
Read Story: Thought "Oh."

And yeah it's an R32.

My bad, I thought the new Golf GTI's with the high performance V6 was a R33. No biggie.

nice race

lol, i thought it was a skyline too when i read the title :rolleyes: good kill though.

lol thats exactly what i thought...but o well...not a bad race either way...

Those r32's are actually pretty beastly. awd, 240hp and 240 lbs/ft to match. All in a little hatch.

SIKE

They are heavy and slow and their drivers are assholes, goes for 99.9% of any newer Vdub driver.

Yeah and they shoulda thought of a better name, cause any time someone mentions an R32 even I think skyline ( and their are two (at least) r32 skylines in my area sooo..).
they say "Hey! I saw one of those r32's today"
I think "Skyline Sweet! (havent seen one for 4 years :( )
they say "VW r32"
I think/ssay "you dick."

btw, Nice race :P

nice kill

Thanks for the props. I don't think the guy realized I was stuck behind some cars at first. I think he probably thought he had taken me out. No biggie. I haven't met too many R32 GTI owners.

My boy shawn has one, he's got a new bypass valve and cold air intake.

Oh and about vdub drivers being dicks, shawn's not a dick... atleast not most of the time :iceslolan

what do the R32's run stock? high 12s, low 13s?? cuz i know a guy that used to have a Golf GTI runnin like 13.2's and everyone was sayin that the R32s where faster...

they run mid-low 14's stock, some drivers can get them into high 13's stock or with a chip and an intake.

GTI's run what like 15's?
obviously your friends was highly modded.

The R32 has a 240hp 3.2L, and sounds amazing. It's bark is worse than its bite, although it is quick and is a nice car. 29k for a Golf though. For around 60k or less (including the price of the car), HPA has a twin turbo kit for it, and it ran like 11.7 and has a top speed of 200+. Not bad. Great kill dude.

Yeah you can go 11.7's in a vw with a little under 60k... Although its not going 200+ mph.... sorry.... ANd i have the 10000 hp car and driver shootout right here......Good kill , To many ppl with r32's around here think/act like they have the end it all vw...

o ok i didn't kno if they were that fast or not...i doubted it but i wasn't sure...o well i can't afford a car like that anyway...haha

about my friend's GTI...i dont remember how much it was modded...but i kno it was modded a good bit...now he has a turbo'd mitsu motor with an intercooler and intake and 3" piping runnin just about as fast as his GTI did...in a friggin dodge colt...

Wow, when I saw the topic I was like...he raced a Skyline? Bullshit....then I was like, OH!!

Nice race man.

Hey now, my mom drives a 2003 passat! she must be in that .o1% right? :P

Not to be a VDub hater, or to jump on the bandwagon, but there were a bunch of Jetta turbo owners going crazy with their blow off valves at the track when I was there. It was comedic, in that they were running 15's. I missed a shift, and couldn't go into 2nd for whatever reason, and still ran a 14.7 sec. 1/4 mile. :p Not my usual that's for sure.

lol bandit, the kid in the blue one..he came up to talk shit one night because his boy's black modded one beat my friends stock s2000 by a fender so I got all up in his window and he was scared as shit and I told him to get the fuck out of here before something bad happends because he was too scared to get out of the car and when he was driving off I smacked his driver side mirror into his passenger seat...the little pussy just kept driving.

Or do a search for HPA R32 in Google...3.2sec 0-100km/h, 11.4 in the 1320, and around 200mph or a little better top speed. But they ceased production of the R32 already. Weird. Too much $$ for a base one. Another good one: http://www.motortrend.com/features/performance/112_0401_tuner/
