Ok, I haven't actually picked the car up yet, but it is mine. I get it in a week. I've been in the domestic game up until this point, so all I know is the domestics and how they compare to each other. Now, my roomate has an '02 Jetta 1.8t, and of course wants to race me. Question is, how will my '96 2dr GSR stand against his stick-shift 1.8 turbo jetta, which is stock. My Integra is also stock as well. Will I be shamed, or will the GSR hold its own?

 

should be a drivers race to tell you the truth. Teg GSR's have great top end but the 1.8t's are torquier and have decent top end. GSR's avg. 1/4 mile 15.2-15.5 vs. Jetta 1.8t's are 15.4-15.8 give or take a few.

 

When you'll race make sure its at the track. Congrats on your GS-R they are fun cars you will enjoy it especially when you start to mod it but whatever you do dont rice it out. Post some pics when you get it.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I definitely won't be ricing it out. In fact, the main reason I picked this teg out of all I looked at is because it is bone stock, no mods. I really don't have plans to do much modding, if any. I went that route with my previous vehicles and now just want to keep it clean, simple, and reliable.
Here are the pics from the ad:

 

and one more....

 

thats a pretty clean car man
congrats on the purchase
its a drivers race dude, but i got your back on this one
win one for the tegs :thumbup:

 

Looks like a nicely maintained DC2.

Welcome to HAN.

Like others have said, take this race to the track. It ought to be a close one. Launch RPM and tire pressure will be just as critical as cutting a good light.

 

race 'track' probobly means abandoned long streach of street with no cops around at all.

 

Thats a good way to piss off the moderators.... keep it legal.

 

Don't race its bad for you unless you take it to the track and no that doesn't mean that road 25 miles away where no cops go hahaha but it should be pretty close!!
