stock gti vs stock ms3

[Joeyelbows]

i was wondering who would win both being stock a gti or a MS3???

 

[Turbostream]

who do you think?

200hp vs. 263hp
MS3 should win by 2-3 cars or so

^^ correct.

raced my friends ms3 from a 45 roll. he has an intake and I was stock at the time (have a carbonio now). he pulled about 3 1/2 cars on me

 

[gtiiiiiiii]

ms3 all the way

I would say the Mazda, but it could easily turn into a drivers race. I would say the SP3 would be more difficult to launch being it has more torque.

dsg would give you an advantage. but i really can't see a stock GTI pulling on a speed 3, no matter how poorly it's driver shifts.

Bad shifts, and not knowing their powerband? I dunno, who knows.

I heard the Speed 3s, anything about like 5K and they literally die.

well when i get my hands on my gti i will have to run my friend then.

^^ it's true, if your friend has never raced it before, or doesnt exactly know where the powerband is, you could win.

to counter my previous story, the first time I raced my friend, I beat him twice...but only because he was starting in the wrong gear. it was his first time racing, and once he found the right gear to start in, he blew my doors off like above.

I owned a Speed6,275 hp, before the gti. There is no way a stock gti is pulling on a stock ms3. With that being said, a chipped GTI is probably a different story. The gti has a much more friendly powerband, and my ms6 had a decent amount of turbo lag (even stock).

ms3

With equal drivers. The GTI probably need to be stage 2 to hang with a MS3.

Raced my friend with an ms3 with intake and test pipe. He is one of the best drivers I know and I am stage 2. He beat me by a car and a half.

my best friend has a ms3

My mod's are in sig, he has a bov, intake, rear motor mount, short shifter. and yes the ms3 does have a lot of torque but it also has an lsd

Usually when we race it's about even, when i am running good tires and get a good launch i usually pull about half a car on him. and im only stage 1

thanks guy for the info and i was gonna keep the gti stock. what is stage 2???
