Default Very strange occurance with a Golf today...

i was pulling onto a main road and right on my *** is this guy in a totaly stock looking Golf, no exhaust, body kit, wheels, drop, no nothing...so this guy refuses to stop tailing me so i nail it in 3rd and get up to about 75 then tone it down to speed limit speeds(50MPH)...and what do you know this thing stays pretty much on my *** the whole way, how is that possible ive got ABT software? lol what sort of turbo kit is he running? i was perplexed... what sort of power can you get out of those with the right turbo kit?

Default If he is chipped he will give you a good run for your money on the highway. He has the weight

advantage by alot.

Default Odds are he was just chipped.

If he had a turbo kit in there, you would have heard the exhaust. Odds are he was in the right gear just waiting for you to hammer it, and perhaps you were 1 gear higher than you could have been? Combine that with the other factors, and a quick sprint from 50 to 75, and it's possible.

Default My buddy's APR Stg 3 put down 320 something on 100 octane.

He ran a 13.0 @ 112 on the shakedown run and snapped his axle the very next run.
