Z VS Golf GTi MK6 At the tracks

DJackie · 02-07-2011, 01:28 AM

Hello !

Friend of mine owns the newest Golf GTi and he is sure that it can beat a Z at the track with no problem , what do you guys think about it ?

My Z :

HKS Ti Exhauset system
Stillen Gen2 Intakes
KW V3

The GTi:

Stage 2 APR
KW V2
Eibach Antiroll Bars

Same with the Evo X , can anybody can confirm wich is faster (stock) at the tracks ?

I cant tell what track because I live in Israel and we have no race tracks because its illegael in here , yes thats stupid but its real , so thats why Im asking you...

Is there anyone that raced a Z against the GTi ?

the GTI will stand no chance if each car is given equally skilled drivers

This. Drivers make up the biggest difference, but in terms of straight line speed, the Z should be faster (although unsure on the mods). In terms of cornering, the Z should rip the VW apart, because it's RWD vs. FWD, and RWD is usually better on a dry track.

As mentioned with equal drivers a Z would cream a GTI. The GTI's FWD isnt your friend on the track either. Forgot that by track you might mean drag strip. I dont know what type of HP a GTi can make with turbo and boost improvements but acceleration really is only a function of HP, wieght and grip. Who ever has best power to weight and stickiest tires will likely win a drag race. Once you put turns in the equation the FWD VW will struggle.

I was able to my friend who drives a hyundai genesis 3.8 with intake, exhaust, tune.
I beat him by 3 car lengths and i have no life on my tires lol...
He drives auto and im manual.
My friend with the gen. lost to a stage 2 GTI by 1 car length.
So you should know what I mean.

Being likely the only person here who has owned both cars, the Z hands down. I'd put up my pinks slip on it.

That is unless you cant drive...
