mfewtrail Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Is it bad that my TGP doesn't have a prayer in the world of doing a burnout? Anything below 2200 is pretty much worthless, :oops: anything above that is :shock: but even with a working ebrake it wouldn't do much, brake torque is worthless too..... :x no burnouts for this poor tank Isn't your car modded a bit too? My TGP at full throttle from a dead stop will take off hard not spinning initially and then you get a few feet and full boost hits = major wheelspin. I'll try to get a short video soon.

Oh yeah, its heavily modded actually, but below 2500, its turd. Its worse than our stock 4cyl/Auto TSX from an idle. Its not hard at all but yeah, first gear is worthless after 2500, it spins all the way through redline bouncing it even sometimes :shock: I really wish I could get a chip that removed the rev limiter, this engine is coming alive when it shifts :x It did get a little bit better bottom end with the new injectors but its still far from what I feel it should be, hell I could do a nuetral drop and it would probably be lucky to chirp the tires. I'll try robbing the cousin's digital video camera and get a clip of it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 VWs can take a beating. "My" first car was 89 Jetta, it was a slow POS but reliable as they come. I drove the f'n piss out of that thing, including doing reverse-drive burnouts every time I left the driveway (leaving a 2 ft patch.. lol). It felt like it was on rails, so I took corners as hard as I could (which probably wasn't that hard considering it was so slow). My 1988 GP seemed like a rocket compared to it... I'm guessing it would do the 1/4 mile in like 20 seconds at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
