Stock GTI vs. Dodge Charger R/T

GTI2.01

Ready to race!
Today I had a Charger that looked and sounded stock next to me at a light. When the road was wet, and from a rolling start we were equal.
My GTI only has a Neuspeed p-flow, which basically does nothing but make noise. I am guessing this Charger was a V6, which I guess is close 0-60 as a GTI. I was still expecting the Charger to be faster, because my GTI feels slow to me. Sometimes I like to call it 2.0Tooooooo slow :D

A stock gti should walk all over a charger v-6. Those things are dogs. I've been tied with an r/t hemi until around 70-75 as stage 1. Their 5-speed is awful at putting power down.

Are you fucking high? A stock V6 Charger and a stock GTI are closely matched. Stage 1 will not beat a stock R/T. Look up some numbers before you just loosely base this on a lame race.

I guarantee my stock Charger R/T would spank your stage 1 GTI because I have raced and beat a stage 2 GTI. Oh wait. IT was a mk5. I forgot that the mk6 can beat a Veyron. Nevermind!

The stock charger is nothing to a GTI. It competes with an I4 accord and does a good job at that performance wise.

Also I've personally raced the newer gen R/T awd from a 70 roll at stage 1 no intake and stayed at his driver's door until 100.

Edit: stayed in 5th gear for that race, too. Should have been in 4th.

I expected to be beat pretty easily looking at 0-60 times of a late model Charger compared to a stock 6SM GTI. I was just surprised by this. Doesn't a the Charger do 0-60 around 6.1? Maybe he needed the driver mod?

The V6 or the R/T? R/T is in low 5 to 60. I thought the V6 was mid 6ish.

On the street, numbers only go so far. Driver mod is a huge part of surprises. OR maybe you have a quick GTI and he has a slow Charger. There are variations and anomalies.

Fantastic point. Yes, they did. Not to mention an older one would show its age. They had 340 hp, the newer ones have 370. Still faster than a stock GTI, but a stage 1 might take it. Then it would be driver mod. Which is more fun when you have similar performance in different cars.

I traded my '13 Charger R/T for a '14 GTI. I have a Unitronic Stage 1+ and it's not a match for the most recent Hemi. Slightly quicker than the new Pentastar 3.6 V-6, which is no slouch 6-banger. The Charger is a heavy car.

We are like opposites. I went from a GTI to a Charger. Like you, I believe and know since I have driven both that the Charger is much faster. It may be a heavy car, but 395 ft/lbs does wonders and it is fast for how big it is. Not to mention all the tests.....

Anyhow. Both are great cars for different reasons. :thumbsup:

You, my friend, need to calm down. I never claimed I could beat an r/t....just that I can hang with them until around 70. Are you fucking high or do you have trouble reading?
