Hmmm yea, either your car is over rated, or mine is under rated... I think its both.

And no, it has stock all season tires on it, my PS2s are bald. And yea, I learned to drive on a windy farm rode with a 500 foot drop off one side into a lake... I went there many many times every month in different cars to improve my driving. im a little rusty, but Im not the average TX drag race driver, that doesnt steer.

When did you want to go?

Let's get a date. Also that time was with the dsg. Are you 6spd or dsg?

"it" is a 6 speed...

That is in northern California about 10 minutes north of San Jose inbetween two smaller suburb towns, Sunol and Milpitas.

When we gonna go? Im free most weekends.

Beautiful scenery. Where is this?

I will be in Dallas for work at the rough riders game. Give me a weekend and I will put in for it off. I'm never off weekends. Weekdays yes.

You get the day off, and tell me when. as long as it isnt 10/28 Im good to go with a day or so notice.

Up to Steve now to tell us where we go. Maybe he can be the pace car since he is faster than both of us.

How are we going to determine anything? setup a 2-3 mile stretch and both run the clock?

Im going to shin kick you in the taint for not blowing his ignorant doors off in the vert.

We do it cat and mouse style. If the mouse gets away the mouse wins, if the cat keeps up with the mouse places are switched and another run is done vice versa the cars. No need for a pace car. This method cuts down on driving in the opposite lane and gives both opponents to opportunity to study the other car and driver.

He can bring it too. My car will remain as is. Stock. The advantage for me against higher hp cars is in the mountain. On the flats things change.

No your advantage was racing people on a road you have driven a 100 times, vs their 0 times. Now that your racing somewhere you have never been your back peddling.

Exactly... thatd be like me racing ANYone on the road I posted above, pro levels included... when you know a track or road well, know where to setup the apexes, what gear to be in, braking lines etc, makes a hugeeeee difference.

Im not ok with following you RX because Ill likely be avoiding running into you half the time and getting major rock chips. Plus i dont want you copying my lines...

I say a staggered start or clock a certain section or two...

Lol fine you go first then. I don't care. Not gna matter. Btw you can't follow lines. You can try but all car have subtle difference that will make some lines faster or slower then the other car.

Not backing out nor back peddling. This dude thinks his gti is faster on all season tires and a stability control you can't turn off. Like I said he is in for a reality check. Bumper to bumper is Fun. The fact that he has never engaged or felt stability control still on even after being turned tells me he hasn't pushed it.

Dude, tcs isnt going to matter if you take the right line... i dont plan to be sliding or scrubbing speed much. my shifting will make up for any time thr tcs might slow the car down. Enjoy rowing them gears.

Who doesn't enjoy gear rowing?! The car needs to rotate to be able to correct under steer in fwd. The rear end coming around induces over steer. Which is awesome for fwd.

K. Ive had 2 fwd cars that handled a fuck ton better than your car, the gti isnt one of em, but I know how to drive it well enough. I wanted more to show you Im not an old hick that cant go around a turn. And you wouldnt shut up aboit your wonder car any other way than you bust your ass at your own game. These cars are closer matched even though Im in the older slower heavier car, I might keep up.
