I know, f*ck eh! But isn't the automatic vet faster? I know the PDK Porsche Turbo is faster. I could never bring myself to buy an automatic.

Nope, don't own a Ford and most likely never will lol. What engines are in your friends GTI's? Most guys I know are with around 300-400 hp are running the old 2.8/2.9 VR6. I'm running the 3.2 VR6, fully built with a bi turbo set up. This is a video when I first got the car, back then it was a 2.9 VR6 with a single massive turbo. Back then it dynode 310hp and 309 lb/ft of torque.
Where the C7 vettes really shine is when you turn and brake... Did a 3 day performance driving course last week at Spring Mountain - was amazed at what the car could do in the corners. Z06 is a beast on the straights....
I hate you.:biggrin1: (would be better if the smiley were green)

65/35 in 2014 but I hear you. 56% Z51 and 36% MRC.
37,228 sold in 2014 - that's a very good Vette year!

Yeah, super fun
This is a cool thread, bunch of guys who don't agree on much,...but with fast cars as a common denominator,...a real joy.
A LONG way back I bought a used 327 Impala that had a 3 speed on the tree, so got it real cheap, all I could afford.
Bought a Munci 4 speed and Hurst shifter, installed it while laying on the ground.
Had a lot of fun beating 383's and 390's in similar body styles..
Then put 456 gears, headers, dual point ignition ignition, had the heads cut, and beat a lot of bigger engine stock cars.
But thinking back, I think the best it did was high 13's on a strip, now I have a 3.7 L Q50 that turns about the same times, plus it will actually stop more than once, and handles very well.
And the comments about guys today not knowing how to drive,...so true, only have to watch the news at night.
I go rental Kart racing, the racing kind, from time to time, and have a lot of fun with guys half my age who have never driven anything other than FWD
Carry on,...FAST

Because I have driven both, I looked up the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for the 66 Shelby Mustang, and a new 6cyl Mustang. The Shelby was faster 0-60 because it weighs 500lbs less, but with a much better shape, the new one does the quarter in 13.1 compared to 13.4 for the Shelby.

He just got back to me:
- MKV GTI
- Engine is a R32 VR6
- 360HP Turbo kit from HPA - includes header, turbo, ECU, high flow injectors.
- Intercooler package
- Milled head and machined to improve flow. Intake, header and head port matched and cleaned-up.
- Lowered, aftermarket suspension kit that included springs, sway bars and polyurethane bushings
- Steel shifter fork
He installed a compression reduction kit as he was having problems with detonation on 93 octane pump gas. He was still having problems on hot days or after multiple runs so he now runs octane boost
