Stage 1 GTi vs 335xi?
- Thread starter Walile
- Start date
Sorry I'm referring to a straight line race from a roll.
A stage1 couldnt keep up for more that 2-3s on a 30 roll against the 335xi. A stage2 could keep up for more long, but will surely get pull by the 335xi passed ... lets guess it, around 100-110mph. higher HPS numbers, bigger turbos.
About the Dsg vs Manual.
I think both are awesome, I prefer manual, I really think it more hardcore, more sporty.
But the dsg still deliver on the needs of the driver compared to a standard automatic box.
As a side note; For the biggest surprised of the entirely Gti time to date for me, I played against a G35 supercharged with more that 370 hps. We did 3 runs. It was a dead even, tied, to a 30 roll to 100 mph. What a surprise! After 100, it started to slowly pull, not a surprise.
If I can do it with a stage2, I think it could be possible on a 30 roll run against a stock 335xi to pull a bit in the first 5-6 sec, but the 335xi will catch up later, at higher speed.

.Also keep in mind that for $350 you can give your 335i about 70 more rear wheel. It's the first mod for most N54 owners. It's all I have - see my sig.
Point being, a stock 335i may be rare these days.
I'll have a Stage 1 in my GTI in a few weeks. I'll set up a race and tape it although mine isn't a AWD.

The intent of this thread is not about armchair racing. I had my mind set on getting the 335xi. A good combo of luxury, performance, and winter traction. But at the end decided to go with a two car setup. GTi will be my personal car and I will get another car from work. End up costing me less than the 335.
Obviously I don't expect a stage 1 GTi to match the performance of 335. But I do hope that a stage 1 GTi can come close to the feel of a 335xi.

If that's the case you'll love your GTI. It may not be as fast as the 335xi but it will definately be fast enough (after stage 1) to keep you happy :thumbup: stage 2 will be plenty and you can always go ko4 when the time is right lol.
There is a LOT going on in the DSG. It has 2 clutches and a mechatronic unit to move the selectors...it is extremely complicated. I didn't get one simply because I enjoy the driving experience of a manual. That being said, you can drive harder with a DSG as you have less of your limited brain power dedicated to shifting properly, especially under braking (mental overhead). It's an impressive piece of engineering but it is certainly more complex than a manual.

Manual is better for guys who don't mind having a slower car.
