I was cruising this morning on the highway headed to the dealership to pick up some parts for the supra, I was cruising by myself and theres a part of the highway where it is stait so I downshift to 4th and floor it, shift to 5th I don't know how fast i'm going because Speedo don't work get up to about 5000- 5400 rpms and i slow down because i was coming up to some turns.

I cruise for about a half a minute and look in my rear view and see this jetta on my ass, so I guess he must of seen me fly by him and wants to have a little fun. So we go at it. I let him in front of me being the good sport. We hit some traffic and he makes a cut into the left lane, I cut into the right lane and get stuck behind some minivan thats doing like 45mph. The jetta cuts into the middle lane and starts bouncing on me. So what do I do, downshift and hit the shoulder passing the minivan( I know i'm nuts and shouldn't be racing on the highway but what could I say I like driving fast) :crazy1: Now the jetta is a good length in front of me, but i'm catching up pretty easy.

We start to approach a little more traffic and the highway is now 3 lanes going into two lanes. We both come up on this traffic with nowhere to go. So what do I do again "HIT THE SHOULDER" and cross over to a on ramp thats two lanes wide. :sadwavey: No more jetta :sadwavey:

I'm pretty surprise how fast that vr6 was, but i'm stock for right now except for my suspension.

Quick question to anyone that reads this- Anyone know a fast they are going at 5000rpm's in fifth gear????(need to fix my damn speedo cable)

I know this probaly doesn't consider as a kill because it was highway racing and I do feel like i cheated a little for taking the shoulder but where i'm from the highway is where you show most of your skills.

Good kill man! I like it when cars try to mess with me on the HW! We can't pass on the shoulder here in MD cause of the rumble strips but I have passed plenty of people on the shoulder on the rural roads. Hey, we've all done(do) dumb stuff.

Well First Of All Thats A Good Kill But To Answer Ur Q On 5th Gear At 5000rpm I Would Do Like 150-160 But Depending On The Tranny U Have I Think Is Different

Jettas are fun to mess with just cause they have a VR6 or 1.8T they think their fast. My girlfriend and I smoked one a few weeks back with my targa hanging out in the trunk. My girlfriend has a '04' 1.8T Jetta and its pretty quick for a 4cyl/4dr. banger. I've beaten a RSX-S,96 V-6 mustang, and some hondas in her car. I try not to drive it much though because its a VW.lol. Later-T

Aye mate- we have those rumble strips here in NY, but it didn't stop me from taking the shoulder.

My friend has a 97 Jetta 5-speed. Not the fastest car by any means but it handles like a car on rails and is extremely smooth. We traded cars for a weekend a while back (he got the Prelude) and I noticed how much smoother everything in the Jetta is. I think the whole "i hate this car cuz of Fast and Furious" is stupid. If you had ever driven one you'd think a lot differently.

I have driven one. I wasn't that impressed it was ok nothing special in my opinion you like it more power to you
My opinion is based on drivers in Cali which do act like they're pretty badass almost everyone I've ever seen :icon_wink
