Ok i know there's a few people on here that wont like what i'm about to say but it was done on motorway and no speed limits were exceeded.
First up, on my way home from a friend's, had about 30 miles of motorway, and we were almost at standstill because it seemed as if there was a few military trucks carrying some sort of part belonging to an aircraft. I happened to be at the front of this queue along with a 2007 GTi with "Pirelli" written on the back of his car (i didnt understand at the time that this means its a 230bhp version of the golf gti!!), and a bmw 330Ci. It took about 45 minutes for this thing to move out of our way and upon taking the exit and i immediately saw an opportunity to floor it. And to my surprise (a wonderful surprise i might add) i noticed both cars completely inline with me and keeping up, so into second gear and i was giving it more beans, and the 330 started drifiting slowly behind, and i had a smile on my face. This smile was QUICKLY removed when entering into third gear now doing about 80mph, the golf was EXACTLY by my side, and it seemed if i kept going he would've started pulling passed me. But i backed off into 5th gear and continued cruising, moved into the third lane, which left him and the 330 (which was further behind than u could imagine now) to battle out the inevitable loss of the 330 vs the gti.
I really enjoyed it, it was amazing to see the difference in power i got from using straight through (much wider, 2 and 3/4 inch up from my old 1.5 inch) piping and the HKS high-flow sports catalyst that MiJ had installed for me, but (and i shouldn't be) i was quite disheartened about the fact that a gti could keep up (ok i know its new and it had 230bhp, but i've never thought much of gti's!!).
Thought i'd share that with you guys please try not to bash me about being unsafe and telling me that a kid could've jumped out infront of me on a motorway ok??
