Default 'nother GTi

Ok...This damn kid at work keeps talking crap about his DADS new 2003 25th anniversary GTi. I'd agree it'* faster then my bonie, but the damn kid doesn't shut up. Then one day i realize i'm behind him at a light getting ready to turn right up the big 55MPH hill.Well he doesn't see me so i go after him and he takes off pretty fast (just got his license 2 weeks ago too) and i decide to show him the power of the 3800. I go flying by him at a bout 75 with my arms waving and a big stupid grin on my face. After 3/4 mile or so he decides that he needs to get infront of me so he starts driving like an ******* flying thru guys with very little clearance, and pulling all the lane changes with no room to spare, like all the BMW owners do on the freeways here. He says i only flew past him at the front cause there was someone in his way.... I need to borrow a modded Seires II SSEi, kinda like whisky98'* to show him what an L67 can do to his lil vr6'ed girls car....

In due time...remember that Bonneville is YOURS and the GTI is his daddies car....you have the upper hand.

My dad has a VR6 and I love it but I don't gloat about it

Oh he has a car, a 96 Grand Cherokee (not limited) with plastic lower body and all. He'* got a cait type tube, and his GF with a 92 grand cherokee limited (same engine) who had 1 quart of oil, no back pressure and just overall running like crap beats him. Wait it'* not really his car, it'* his dads old car they let him use...

Yep i always say, where'* your car!?!? Oh you don't have one! If my dad had a vette i wouldn't be telling everyone how it would win, until my driving set it apart. But he likes Porsches, so maybe he'll get one a few years down the line...

That'* funny. I don't know how fast those new GTi'* are, but I smoked the HELL out of a fairly recent one.

My dad has 2 Vettes, but I would never brag to others it can kill their cars. It'* not my car. But I will often say that my Bonne can beat his 81 Vette. People have to ask "Really?" cause they probably think I'm joking.

VW GTi, VR6 engine, 15* angle V6, 200 HP, 224lb ft of torque (i've got one more stock, but i'm underrated), 6 speed manual, all in a little Golf (read:Chick Car and tiny)

These wheels just don't do it for me at all, not on a performance oriented car.
