Edgewater/New Smyrna Beach, which is about 30 mins from Daytona.

My grandma has a house in Edgewater. I visit that way about 3-4 times a year.

Yep. :lol:
you really lucked out on the tires. maybe the previous owner was someone on here? or at least some form of enthusiast. it's not often that you just see upgraded summer tires on stock wheels. usually it's the other way around.
have you checked to see if the car is tuned yet? stage 1/2 will be pretty even with a 350. i'd be surprised if you felt the car in stock form was faster. may want to check before you go try to pay for it again.
also, how has nobody mentioned the water pump?

I noticed the clear sidemarkers. Those are aftermarket.
And yes the water pump! Biggest problem with these cars by far. Google it. Most common failure on this car by far. Nothing you can really do about it though except monitor coolant levels and check for drips. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here..

Ok guys I got a 0-60 video, I live in an urban area, so no real roads to go fast straight on, I managed to find a curved road near my complex. So I had to hold my phone with one hand and drive/shift/steer with the other all while turning down a curved road.
Looks about stock. 6 seconds
This is my 350z's 0-60 time -

So already my GTI is just as fast as my 350z was.

i managed 6.1 on my mk6 gti when it was stock, did the car surge harder (like kick in your face kinda way) after 2,000 rpm then somewhat lost a little power at 5k rpm? Did you also have some wheelspin in 2nd gear? if so you have stage 1.
