beermonkey9417 said:i own a 99 infinity i30t, which is the same as a maxima with the 3.0 and with my elky having a 307 with high comp heads and 4 speed trans and the 4.11, im not sure with all that if the elky would beat the i30, but it would be a good close race. now i got a buddy that has a jetta and hes been talking sh*t since day one. so the other day me and him do the plugs and hes said the last time i took him for a ride that he thinks his 4 banger jetta could whoop my elky, like totally whoop me bad. so we get in the elky and go for a ride. i let it warm up driving around my condo complex and i reminded him about the statement he made about him beating me with his jetta and slow to a stop. i rev it to about 1200 rpm and hold the brake down and then get a nice launch, hes reaching for "oh sh*t" handles and says, i retract my last statement, yer car will whoop mine jesus crist, slow down. that felt good after 4 years of working on it. but like i said i got the 307 with 416 heads and 1.6 rockers and 50k volt dizzy, shorty headers, x pipe, and the 4.11 posi, no power steering, or a/c and an electric fan. now with all that i dont think i could beat my buddys 90 300zx, i might be close, but i dunno. but dont get discouraged, use that sh*t talking as motavation to get some work done on making yer car a lil better. now, just so ya know the 3.0 motor hes got doesn really kick in till 3500 rpm to redline, and the best he ca do is get a y pipe(like an x pipe for our cars) and a different exhaust without getting into alot of other messes in his ecu. you on the the other hand can but better heads for the same price ands swap em in for more power gain with less hassle. keep yer chin up!
Your friends an idiot. I took down some N/A Jettas with my 95 2 door tahoe 5 speed, with just an exhaust and intake. Wasn't even a vortec motor...
