335i vs GTI SHOULD I BE DISAPOINTED

STICKY335 · 05-14-2010, 04:38 AM

Ran a GTI on the freeway from 60-120

335i
aFe intake
6spd manual

GTI
Intake
BOV
Straight Pipe
3"inch downpipes
Stage 2 chip

at 120 i was behind half a fender!

-___- is this normal?

Sounds like that's about right. There might have been some other undisclosed mods.

At least a 400lbs advantage, some 30hp less than your car stock but most probably more torque can surprise anybody... if the GTI driver is better than you then it is a done deal.

And that's assuming that it was in fact a Stage 2, it could have been a Stage 3.

get a tune

deletedelete · 05-14-2010, 07:14 AM

with a tune you will win. unless they have a turbo upgrade then they will jump ahead for a few seconds. my buddy with a fully modded k04/meth gti jumps ahead from a roll but i catch up pretty quick.

dreamingat30fps · 05-14-2010, 08:06 AM

Also was the GTI manual or DSG? If DSG the driver could probably out shift you also. I use to have a 2007 GTI and modded that thing is fast!

Qmax03 · 05-14-2010, 08:07 AM

with a tune youll walk away... your pretty much stock.. what did you expect ?

Verbiage · 05-14-2010, 08:12 AM

Seems like he was more loaded than you were. Should have thrown a Dinan in that bitch

and1bball919 · 05-14-2010, 08:12 AM

That's what you do at 20 years old.....

Yes, it is possible for the 335 to lose.

I'm surprised you were surprised, knowing his mods.

mmm def · 05-14-2010, 09:50 AM

A simple stage 2 GTI according to APR is 276 hp and 314 tq, plus this guy has more mods. I have a stage 1 2010 GTI and even that alone is pretty darn quick, not as quick as a stock 335 but it will surprise you if you aren't paying attention.

JayKay335i · 05-14-2010, 09:52 AM

I was a bit faster than my friends GLI when I was stock. Not too too much. He ate my rear end and got straight up walked hard with just a jb+ on my car.

Craig@SupremePower · 05-14-2010, 09:55 AM

JB3 time!!

Thats the major key.. Those cars are easily tuned and light as all sin.... Anything is possible with those. Probably one of the easiest/best gain cars to have.

Don't worry i got smoked by a '96 golf a few weeks ago..

I just gave the guy a thumbs up, he deserved it. He beat a 335i

Verbiage · 05-14-2010, 12:04 PM

Tunes change everything.

And I don't mean radio

STICKY335 · 05-14-2010, 12:37 PM

I wasnt aware of his mods till after we pulled out of the freeway.
Also to add i had a passanger. and he was manual

Brey335i · 05-14-2010, 01:27 PM

Make the mods equal...

JB3 or Vishnu
3" Downpipes (AR Desing Catless)
Straight pipe muffler delete

and see who wins...

Minimaul · 05-14-2010, 01:48 PM

In the grand scheme of things the 335i will be faster after dumping money into it. Obviously. But the MKV/MKVI GTI's are peppy little cars. My GTI does 220whp/275wtq (dyno'd it), with TBE, chip, intake and that's it for go-fast mods. With a HPFP, revised tune, and a few other supporting mods it can do a little bit more. with the k04 turbo upgrade the cars will see roughly 300whp. anything more than that and you're getting into a serious build. but for stage 2, GTI's are fun little cars with some oomph. In better (driver?) conditions the 335i should have gotten the GTI.
