Got spanked by a fuggin' GOLF!
Agreed.
Our cars weren't, aren't, and never will be the fastest cars out there. They are the coolest though!
I'd take a 105 hp FB over a 500hp Jetta/Golf/Passat. But that's just me.

My car shines in the autox course and road course...
Taking hairpins and tight corners at the edge of traction is the specialty of my car .
The amount of HP you have is how much money you can fork out.
I am poor, so my car is slow.....

I'll be the first to step up and say your rice on somedays and not on the other days! 
j/k
It all depends on your attitude that day :P
"if it looks like rice and feels like rice, then it's probably rice."
"Let the flaming begin"

2. Position car so that exhaust is facing MyRxBad's legs.
3. Set S-AFC to +40% from 5000-8000rpm.
4. Redline and let off a couple of time.
5. MyRxBad runs around with pants on fire.

Who really gives a **** anyways if so and so's RX-7 can or can't beat so and so's VW in a race - that's not the real reason we really drive our respective cars, is it? That's not the reason I love my RX-7

Now, at this point, let me point out that the plugs in my car are beyond fucked - the electrodes on at least one are melted down. Plus my front diff mount is broken and the K&N air filter needs to be cleaned. Still, she's been driving just fine... Tough girl.
The light goes green. I give her a fair bit of gas. The Eurotrash beside me does, too, a moment later. So I give her more, he does too, and then we both stand on it.
He shifts. A glance tells me I'm at about 5500 - lots of room left, here comes another mini-kill.
Then I hear the goddamn BOV.
He takes off. I shift into 2nd, but it's already over so I ease off. He didn't exactly rocket away, but there was no way I could catch him.
It didn't exactly improve my day. Anyway, just wanted to share a story and maybe expunge some of my disgust.

Man, this is a small world. I know footose from my days in 20vturbo.com and vwvortex. I had a 2002 1.8T GTI pushing about 225 hp / 250tq with just an APR V1 chip, K&N filter, aluminum SMIC, TDI mid-pipe and Remus exhaust. The 1.8T engine, back then, was one of the easiest engines to mod--I miss that car.
