Miata vs. Beetle 1.8T

[Doppelgänger]

OK, first off....it was a definate "w t f" moment.

I'm heading home from chilling with some friends and i pass through a intersection and theres a yellow, stock, new beetle just sitting there. Well right as i pass him, i hear something. So i look back. What do i see? Tire smoke everywhere and the guy turning behind me :thinking: .

As i mind my own business, this guy comes flying up on me, passes me and hits the brakes. Ummm ok. Then he gets next to me and floors it... and i hear the cute little sound of the 1.8T.Awwww.

Well after a little ways, we finally both get caught at a red light. Of coarse he starts revving like a tC owner and looking over. I just sat there and watch the other light turn yellow and mildly got my rpm's up to about 4500 and waited for the go. When the light turned, i dumped the clutch and started waving bye bye to him.....2nd,3rd, 4th and i just pulled away. :idb:

Eventually i pulled over in a shopping center and he followed me in, jumped otu and started raving about how fast the car is (its quick, but not terrably fast). Him and his friend were going on about how the kill mustangs and hondas all the time off the line but had never been beaten that bad.

Yeah, so i killed a bug...it was quick..from a roll. But im bored at work and felt like posting something.

Hey, I have a Lysholm screw compressor from a Millenia S if you're interested........I offered it to DropTopDrifter, but he thinks it's too much work to install it. (He's a driver, not a mechanic........no offense :D )

Ha! :taun: I told him to stop but he's far to fascinated with how loud my horn is. It was pretty funny seeing that asshat in the Lexus SUV get all pissed off. Those pull over points on the road are there for a damn good reason, he was a moron.

I totally forgot that road was the way back or I would have driven, it's my favorite one. I still don't know that area for shit so I thought we just had a straight little bit back. Oh well.

Oh... and my exhaust rattle is now fixed. Broken hanger and replaced the muffler as well. I think Mike was really excited that he got to break something on my car and it was fixed for free. Now we've both broken something on a car with only 11K miles on it. My breaking cost me $40 though... dammit.

damn kids and their scions!!!

[CHADbee]

was there a large black man named tank driving the bug?

[Doppelgänger]

nah... skinny white guy lol.

Now, i know its a bug, a yellow one at that.. but still... the 1.8T can be a mean mo-fo. IIRC he said he was running more boost and an intake...what kind of difference that makes, i dont know.

[lightspeed]

lol, this is kinda-like posting up that you physically beat-up a retarded 10 year old girl. they both take the same effort haha

[99GAGT]

so when are we runnin em Mike?

[mrt0mjones]

mike. l-o-l ... hahahah

got that rx-7 rollin right, and broke the motor mounts in the 3k.

be seeing you in a week, i have a toy for you to look at ;)

[allmotoronly]

miata vs beetle ... LOL

[Doppelgänger]

damn, shoukld have titled it "Boosted Miata vs. Boosted VW"

[Doppelgänger]

...and im sure a few people here could vouch that the Miata is much quicker then to be expected ;)

[2.3 Evo 8]

I just don't know how to respond to this thread...

~quietly leaves confused

[d993s]

Uh.....:thinking: ..... considering my last POS $400 n/a beater ('92 Sentra SE-R with just an intake, slightly larger exhaust and timing advance) was on your ass from 20-100 or so.......I was rather disappointed. (Maybe you've had more done to your car since then, which was about a year and a half ago).
Even so, if I remember right, you were running around 7psi (?) I expected you to pull by at least 5 or 6 cars.

[Doppelgänger]

Ummm yeah... that was when the car was running stock exhaust (2 cats) no i/c and stock pulleys @ 6psi

and no... i dont want the twinscrew!!! sell it to the guy with the vette and miata :D

Yeah, yeah........ricer excuses
So what does the FART-CART have on it these days? (besides the intercooler, pulleys, straight pipes) :eek:

[IndianStig]

1.8T's killing Mustangs off the line? LOLOL. I took a 1.8T Jetta and a VR6 Jetta in my stock prelude, and i know, i for one cannot keep up with a Mustang, anywhere in the range. Whats the weight diff in jetta and bugs?
