your ignorant!!!!!
if you look around at most of the professional or amature sanctioning bodies like the SCCA, how many people even use VW's??? i dont recall many if any!

Three things:
1)The car isn't too bad, I personally wouldn't buy one.
2)Let's not get carried away, run the 13.2 on the slick first before you tell people that's what it runs. (You said it went 13.8, so far. So as far as I'm concerned it's a 13.8 car for now)
3) Schnitzel is bad ***.

Sorry but the GTI > MAZDA 3 SPEED any day in fun in quality and in handling AND in brakes. Sorry but you are completely wrong please drive both before you open your mouth.
Yes rasict comments are gold... Calling Germans ***** is rasist sorry... Hitler was a dictatorship of anyone stood in his way or voiced their opinions they would be killed.. Anyone making comments about the Germans are fken idiots...
No im not German im Greek just for the record..
Listen you drive an old SKYLINE something that is very fast but thats it man. I got to a hotel im treated like I have money... Fact is your car is from the 90's and wile it will have respect from people who know about cars, people wont respect you for it because its just an engine in a aged body. Skyline is an amazing car but I would never in my dreams have it as a Daily driver. I wanted a car that is a Conventinal Daily driver that can fit 5 with ease and is Fast. To say a GTI that can hit 13.2 with the right tires and on a good day is not fast is just pure stupidity because its a street car and its quality is just amazing, not one american car comes close to the interior quality in the gti of its dash layout the leather seats or the materials used.
Lets not forget the GTI is the original pocket rocket kids it is considered a sports hatch and its platform is a race platform. Uses the same engine as the new audi tt and that car is just pure beauty and amazing. The DSG Tranny is prob the greatest invention since the wheel itself and is the future of trannys if you like it or not. Lambo Bugatti Porsche VW Audi are all moving over to DSG/S-TRONIC TRANNYS wile can be used shifting manual clutches are being removed from the cabin are going in the tranny. I know I know you are all going to say AUTOS are for well its an auto and a manual and it is the future.
No more racist comments please about the germans..
Oh an my GTI was built in Wolfs berg Germany not in mexio it is a German car unlike BMW,BENZ.
Fact is this 2000 $ upgrade wont void the warranty one bit ermmm. What was done to the RUSTANG to get 100 hp?
Im comparing the g35 and 350z in terms of speed and quality. The g35 the higher end version more luxurious car still doesn't compare to dash layout materials used and quality of the leather and interior design... If I spend 60 000 $ on my car I would hope it would be better then a 39 000 $ GTI which it does not. Not to mention the ride feels like im hitting a wall every bump in the road thus the horrible reviews from topgear and they rave about the gti.
IM TALKING ABOUT THE OVERALL PACKAGE OF THE GTI VS OTHER CARS!
For example a competitor of the GTI is the CIVIC SI. Stock for Stock there about equal in power and speed other then the fact you have to rev the out of the SI to have any power. The interior in the Honda Civic SI is just JUNK PURE JUNK ITS JUST ABYSMAL. Cheap plastic everywhere I feel I am im an ENLARGED TIWANESE TOY. Don't get me wrong the Engine is amazing, Honda makes great engines but when its comes to Interior quality I feel like im in a 10 000 $ car. Its pretty bad when The SI has worse interior then a Hyundai. Oh an Hyundai has stetted up big with their interior and engine they are great cars now, I would take one over a corolla or regular civic any day.
Cars like the 350Z which my friend bought he paid like 15 000 $ more then me the Interior much better then the si but for the money I would expect more.. Pannles rattle good speakers horrible stock brakes not even good enough for its stock power, my stock gti brakes out preform the stock 350z brakes with my power upgrades. This is just unacceptable when someone spends 15 000 $ more you would think it would have better parts but my argument is it doesn't... Engine is great but not 300 hp to the crank by any means, more like 240 -250 hp to the wheel, well thats what my friends 2006 350z dynoed at.
My car comes standard with 10 air bags standard bi xenon lights standard heated seats with the fabric standard heat mirrors standard headlight washers standard windshield washer nozzle wile Nissan charges thousands or for example Audi a3 the same exact car as mine but with a different body and interior. Same quality German design and quality interior same platform spec from spec but comes with only 5 airbags standard and they charge an arm and a leg not to mention the exact same dsg tranny is 500 $ more and stuff like headlight washers and xenon lights aren't standard.
The 2007 VW GTI IS THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK ON THE MARKET TODAY WHEN IT COMES TO QUALITY, ENGINEERING, AND LUXURY.
Anyone to dispute this please tell me another car in the 39 000 $ out the door tax included that compares to this car, Hey add 10 000 $ make is 49 000 $ and the GTI still beats them all.
Only think you can do to a 350z to make it faster then me with my proper track tires is to turbo it and supercharge it which will cost 10 000 $ not to mention it voids the warrant and doing stuff to a car that was not desgined for a turbo or ss will have constant major problems. I know people with Supercharge 350z's wile STUPID AMAZING FAST they have problems atleast once a month and if that engine goes your ****ed..
I HAVE MY ENTIRE WARRANTY IN TACT MY DEALER IS A MOD FRIENDLY DEALER AND they cant even tell my car has higher boost. All you do is put it into stock mode and turn on dealer lockout and boom your safe from the dealer. I have already have my pads replaced by the dealer after raping them for free. Already had my diverter valve replaced after blowing it.
A major reason I bought this car other then the luxury quality and engineering and overall bang for the buck was that I am able to mod the car and the warranty is in tact wile putting a turbo or a ss into a car like 350z kiss that engine/tranny warranty goodbye.
People are getting around 240 hp to the wheel with the mods I have.
LOL and this was just stupid... Yes the old vw engines from mk3/4 are pooh but you should realize VW has come back with a vengence and is doing great, using the 2.0t on vw's and on audis. It has been out for 5 years alredy in europe and is doing great, no more electrical problems no more bad desgine engines.
Sorry but the 2.0t FSI Engine has won awards all over the place for its amazing destine and having FSI with a TURBO and working so well. Not to mention the GTI has won a load of awards it self and has been rated to be one of the top 7 cars to hold its value in 5 years. I can buy a 2 year old 350z for like 30 000 $ thats horrible resell value, wile right now this second I could sell my car with 15 000 km for 1000 $ less then I paid for it new without the mods.
Sorry but I test drove the civic si the gti the mazda 6/3 speed the Subaru STI.

I dont know what cheap hotel you go to but owning a GTI does not display money, and I'm sure no one will mistake you with someone really rich beacause you drive a VDUB. If you know anything you would know that owning a good domestic in Europe like a stang has alot more impact at a hotel than pulling up in a GTI. Oh and you're Greek right. A Z06 in Greece cost like 2-3 times more than purchasing one in Canada. Pulling up to a Club in Greece with a stang or Z06 would earn you alot of respect down there.
You own Germany's economy car.
The reason you pay so much on parts is because the parts are imported not because they're better quality than others. Oh and every 13s fwd car gets good gains from drag radials not just yours. Your car is not suprisingly quick so stop acting like it. 250whp in many cars runs 13s, including luxury ones.
Your car is not stock so stop comparing it to stock ones. Stock your car is slower than a 350z, srt-4, Acura TL, Honda Accord v6, cobalt ss, mazdaspeed 3, rsx, volvo s60, bmw z4, bmw 3 series, crossfire, mustang, and pretty much any car with a little performance. Thats why I hate Vdub, because they're slow and always break down. They put like 100hp in heavy luxury cars without considering any performance or trying to make their cars fun to drive. Vdubs are for people that want to save money. Oh and your car is not in the same league as a Skyline, so stop comparing a brand new car to like a 91 R33. R34 cost more than 10 of your cars. lol.

Yeah, I have a client at that intersection so yep twas me. Trust me I'm not jocking the GT-R at all - its a just fast, tight track car for the money. Even though they're older, they usually have under 100km, great maitenance and no rust - the underbody looks like a new car, bolts twist off with ease.
This Golf versus the world debate is wack...Stop throwing up your V-Dub gang symbols. VWs were tin cans that grew turbos & leather interior. And no Capt V-Dub here isn't going to win any fans coming on here running his mouth about high 13s.

Not true, there are 03 350zs that have run 1/4 in 13.6-13.7 stock, down to the tire. With boltons and slicks high 12s can be done. Not sure how fast you are (13.2?) cause your post is REALLY long and it seems your talking out off your *** anyways. Sorry, but the reason I say this is you don't know too much about the Z (refer to quote above) therefore my comment applies to you.
The title to your thread should say ...
BONE STOCK NISSAN 350Z has no on me.. but I better make sure its not an 07 cause then I might be in trouble!
Doesn't your mod chip mess with your warranty? If not then power to you.

oh... to liquidg while the new GTi is nice... i am not sure exactly why you wrote an essay why the GTi is better than everything else... just out of curiosity (and no offense meant), how long did it take u to write that

Of course the GTI's DSG can't take as much, but come on, it's in a GTI.
But just for reference.
The Audi S4 (2.7T) tranny can take about 600HP.
The Audi TT (1st gen) was tested by Audi AG to take around 800HP.
The 6 speed manuals in the VW's hold over 500HP easy.

Ummm yeah don't think the Veyron DSG qualifies.
Those are pretty impressive numbers but when they say handle? launch? power shift? for how long?
Anything over 500-600hp in a GTR and you need the OS Giken cross-mssion guts...but then again the tranny debuted in 1989.

I mean they handle that much power. Abusing a tranny, and breaking it doesn't mean it's weak. Something has to give and it doesn't matter what car you drive. If one thing doesn't break, another will.
But a buddy of mine is putting close to 500WHP through a 6 spd. and has been to the track multiple times on BFG's and full slicks, tranny is still mint. Heck he's still running OEM shafts (he's broken one shaft or CV already though can't remember which).

Doesn't qualify as there are different levels of engineering. This is a car with 4 turbos and 10 radiators, so it may use DSG principles & technology but then again its also internal combustion that it shares with the Golf and it has four tires 
I'm sure if you cracked open those two gearboxes it would be a different world.
All I'm saying no big horsepower VW DSG running around that I know of...we'll see how they hold up.

BUT... that really doesn't mean that DSG is , or that it's weak. It's just that no one has been able to push it yet.
Think of it as your skyline way back when it was new, and no one was able to modify the motor to such an extent to really stress the tranny. That's sorta where they are now with DSG. It will eventually happen though I'm sure of it.
