Who wins? 370z or VW R32?
 

I know a kid who loves to brag and lie and talk a lot of crap. He says his R32 VW would smoke my 370z in a 1/4 mile and all around. Please tell me this is some sort of joke and if you have any information on this that would also be great!

Most here get low 13s in the 1/4, and the r32 gets 13.6 from car and driver :shrug:

Pretty much all there is to it...the R32 definitely won't kill the Z

1/4 Z win, road cours/auto X.... eh who knows :)

R32 can definitely win at carrying crap.

What model year .:R was it? The Mk4's ran low to mid 14's and the Mk5's could do high 13's (on a really good day) if I recall correctly.

:roflpuke2: Better in the snow as well I'm sure.

burn me if you want but we all know driver plays a large part in a race.

It wasn't to burn you, and I should have elaborated. He was only asking about a quarter mile, so throwing auto x in there starts other debates. And why stop there, what if it's cold versus hot, what if the wind is blowing really hard and our aero dynamics come into play, etc, etc.

Also, I think it's obvious that in a auto x, it's all about the driver (assuming the cars aren't WORLDS apart). A z could beat a GTR with the right/wrong drivers.

R32 wins for looking like a sneaker mobile for teenie boppers.

GTR R32? lol

ok :tup: and I understand

Assuming both cars are stock and drivers are of equal skill/familiarity with the cars, I would say the R32 doesn't stand a chance if you look at just the spec sheets:

Nissan 370Z: 332hp, 270lb/ft, 3232lb Curb weight, RWD
VW Golf R32:250hp, 236lb/ft, 3457lb Curb weight, AWD

The R32 may have the edge off the line due to the AWD, but after that I don't see it standing a chance. But the best way to find out.... Go to the strip and race each other!

Yeah, I was about to say, don't the R32's come with 240hp stock? They seem like nice cars but raw hp comparison its no contest.
