the reason i said that a TDI can be brought to gsr territory, is because i know of TDIs that run 15s in the quarter. ya they have about $1000 worth of mods but its possible, thats all im saying. with a chip, larger injectors, an intake and exhaust, im pretty sure theyre up there. they could certainly be competive in the 1/8th because of theyre strong low end.

btw acurafanatic, not to nitpick but diesels dont run a low compression. for example, my 85 diesel golf runs 20:1. dont know about the new ones.
