Pffft, from a roll on the highway all you gotta do is feather the throttle.

Depends. 460whp+ on what 195 or 205?? street tire on a 2800lb FF car. It's a VR6 so it actually makes torque too. Now this against a 500whp Vette or what not on 325's????
You could barely even go 1/2 throttle from 60 in the Golf, the other car would be lonng gone by the time it hooked.

Yeah, the weight transfer of a FWD vehicle is less than optimal when wide open throttle is applied. The lateral acceleration forces effectively transfer the static weight off of the front tires and towards the rear of the vehicle. The result of which is a reduction in tire to ground contact force and area which in turn reduces the surface/tire friction coefficient below levels that would yield optimal forward acceleration.

Brad, you guys might be even, you'd both be feathering the shit out of it in these cold temps,

I thought he was on DR's? And yeah, my car has 345's, but breaks loose worse than cars with more HP and smaller tires (albeit DR's as opposed to my street tires).

But I can/will still run cars with similar power to mine. I CAN do it in the cold, it's just very tricky. There's no need to ask people with a 200whp+ defecit to run with me because I don't have good traction in the cold lol

Haha well there is only one way to find out. Gotta run him..
However, try putting 205's on the back of your car, then somehow get the weight to transfer the wrong way when you hit the gas, giving the wrong tires more traction. It's a double negative that produces no positive result hah. Now you have the Golf's problem.
On DR's it would be much better, but from any speed below 60/70mph it'll still light them up like crazy

Yeah, I didn't realize he was on street tires. It's tough, I know. I can't get into mine until about 80+mph when it gets below 55 - 60 degrees. You just can't go WoT. But he should still be able to put a big hurtin' on 300whp cars even at half throttle until 100mph or whatever. Most cars weigh 3200+ lbs. So honestly, MOST cars would be so much slower he could easily just pussy foot it through half the race and be fine.

I met up with the VRT last night and got pulled by a bus+ w/ him on 15 psi. Went down as I thought it would though my car is only putting down around 300whp to his 400+ whp

that fukker is quick!

yeah im on a 205 street tire, and last night we tryed a 40~ punch i was in 2nd.. and spun prety bad even at 15psi so im thinkin a 50~ kick?? maybe i can do something besides spin the tires..

If you are talking to me....the higher speed, the better. My car doesn't even hit its peak HP in 2nd gear until about 75mph.

But I was just suggesting in general. Even though you can't go wide open, you should still be able to beat people with a lot less hp. We can line up if you want. I can't go WOT until about 80 or 90mph myself, when it's cold out.

yeah i would love to run you just to see how i stack up, prob. going to get outran! but thats not what its about for me i just like seeing fast cars! Most of the time if im running a guy i know i can beat i just use a higher gear say 3rd insted of 2nd. and just catch them on the top end.
