So I'm pulling out of town earlier today and the last light here opens up into open desert and a 60 mph zone. I'm sitting in the GXP with the front windows and sunroof open getting lost in music when I hear the sound of a bov beside me. Being an import/turbo anything guy at heart, I crane neck to see a Mk6 GTI beside me and the owner mean mugging me lol.
Now a quick background for me lol. I used to street race a lot. And I mean the invite only, you see a CRX it's because he's gonna eat that GTO's lunch, you can't do 165 on a regular basis without breaking stuff then don't come, kinda stuff. I'm a liiil bit older and wiser and I got out of the hardcore stuff on a promise to my better half. So now that my Stang is gone and I sold my 3000gt I don't race much anymore (other than track and beating my own times on the touge). So a GTI at a light poking me in the face put a huge smile on my face.
The light turned and he gunned it while I eased into the throttle partially to save wheel spin and mostly because I like my front tires and transmission. Then as he pulled about a door in front of me my car hit 30mph and I figured it was finally time to see how this family sedan moved (I rarely push it). And it didn't let me down
. The LS4 woke up and put me even again and the GTI hung there for about a second and then we hit about 50 and he shifted and I pulled away and kept going till I got to 70 and had about a car on him. Theeeen I let off and cruised back to just above 60 lol. He stayed behind me and had a very upset/hand got slapped face.
I was honestly surprised. I know the Mk6 times to 60 are roughly 6.6 sec but I figured from a roll he'd have me simply because of power to weight. But wow. This LS4 doesn't fail to impress. Anyways that was the first lil bit of fun I've had in a long time. I don't normally play stoplight wars. But once in a very blue moon it's fun lol.
