I want to know what i need to do to my MSP in order to match up with a MS3 or GTI.

I got smoked yesterday on the highway by a stock looking GTI, so again, what would it take to match up with him. Or even beat him.

Edit:

What about a Saturn Red Line?

If you got smoked by a stock "looking" GTI then your not driving well or he is in fact chipped and putting down a lot more power than you think. It is easy for them to get a ecu flash and make mucho power in stock trim. Are you sure it wasn't an R32?
 
Before the afc I ran a chipped mkv GTI from about a 30 roll, stayed dead even with him the entire time. We both agreed I would have had him had we gone from 40. Mods (power ones at least): Corksport Exhaust, SRI, PG Intake Mani, hardpipes and bov don't really count.

After the afc I'm pretty sure I would pull a car or two pretty easy, haven't run anyone since then though and that was about 2 years ago.

The MS3 will destroy you, don't even try. You might have a chance with exhaust, intake mani, fmic, afc, and 10psi but I wouldn't bet on it.

Agreed with above. If you got smoked, either you suck at driving, or he has WAY more under the hood than he lets on by the outisde.

Sleeper FTW!!!


I just got smoked by a Pruis and Versa in my Pro5. Anything i can do?
 
MKV GTis run just about 200 whp with just an intake and you'll need upwards or 225-230 whp to match a stock MS3. Believe it or not Proteges have a decent weight advantage over most newer cars.

That's weird. I doubt I am pushing that much power (but who knows), and my MSP is faster than my Speed6. If a Speed6 runs a quicker 1/4 mile time than an MS3, then my MSP should be faster than an MS3.
 
at the time i was 100% stock.

Isnt the GTI like 2.5T and pushing more boost then a MSP... not to mention smaller. So it makes sence that he beat me. Also, it was not from stopped, it was from around 35 Km/h

The mkv's are pretty heavy iirc, and yes they run higher boost levels but they have pretty small turbos.

The MS6 does better then a MS3, Maybe the AWD helps it grip better, cause you would think the lighter MS3 should walk the MS6 since the motors the same. I could see the MSP taking the MS6 though once agian do to the weight issues, that big clunky AWD can be a hinderance

right!!!!!!! at what boost? maybe the driver of the GTI was a dumbass...b/c even with those mod you arent breaking 200hp

STOCK: 200hp GTI>170hp MSP
w/Chipped: GTI 256hp and 303 TQ> msp 180 -/+
not a chance my friend..;)

Call me out all you want but I stayed even with him. I had 3 cars of witnesses behind me as well. I don't know what boost he was running but he said it was chipped. Other than that he had coils and a set of chrome A8 wheels.

mbc set to 10psi, split second afc and get rid of the stock exhaust or at least put a cutout after the dp
