Which STOCK cars pull you back into your seat?
« on: 09 October 2009, 08:15 »
Just curious about what this means actually because a few people here say that the GTI does that and there are a few that say it doesnt,so just want to know which stock cars in the GTI's league does this??from stand still,overtaking etc...

from standing still the R32 will seriously hurt your neck if your not expecting it. any other turbo cars also have the same effect.


And just to clarify its not the car thats pulling you back into your seat... its the seat pushing against your back :tongue: :laugh:

It's a bit subjective, I suppose, but in my books the GTI does not do this (even my remapped 275hp version). First, I think you need RWD to get the true 'shove in the back' feel, then you need at least 400hp. But as I said it's all subjective and it's just my personal opinion :smiley:

turbo car + 32 PSI, can barely move your head. 

You know youve got boost when you spin in 4th

Havent had a chance to truly test the GTI, but my misses brothers WRX STi certainly does it.

you need at least 400hp

or something lightweight, like a Caterham.
