Race with Ed35 - guess who won?

[gizzywizzy]

Personally I couldn't give a sh!t whether the Ed35 has a couple more horses than mine or whatever, it was fun to have a bit of a race and even better that I won, no hard feelings between us as we gave each other a flash and wave as we parted. 

It does make me smile when this happens, but what I think may have sparked off the debate is you saying that "you won"

Won what? Because neither of you were at 10-10ths and he had more sence than to try and overtake you?

As I previously said it was a laugh, a little bit of a race between 2 GTIs it meant nothing in reality, whether the guy had the sense not to overtake I don't know nor do I care.  I reached the junction leading to my destination before him so I could say I won.  Does it really matter that much to any of you or are you so insecure with your cars that you get upset about the word WON!! Does I beat him suit you all better?

Actually there are so many new members on this forum now who get offended so easily that it is a total bore.

Again, you didn't really beat him, as from what I can gather, it was not even a race. Just two people driving their cars quickly. You were in front, he didn't overtake, how does that prove anything?

To be perfectly honest, your original post came across in the same way that my neighbour does when telling me about his 1.2 Ibiza, that I mentioned earlier in the thread.

Fuzzywuzzy getting on the psychological high ground again?

Does it still count as a win even if the other person didnt know you were racing?? 

Perhaps he was just trying to get your attention to let you know you have one less badge on the back of your car

Must admit if I have someone in front doing this I may play with them but not race. I may also laff at there antics.
If this is classed as a win then I've lost to loads of people over the years and lost to many with the mk6 fiat vans, corsas astras and many tdis andan others.

If as.others have said theses so little.difference in it beteen a 35 and GTI ill have a GTI for its.much less.turbo lag beters low down pickup and far superior miles per gallon and cheaper servicing costs.

^^^^ turbo lag ??  im not b!tching and i know their is hardly anything in it up to 60 mph but i drove my mates 210 ps Scirocco yesterday and it did seem quite breathless above 4500rpm compared to mine and i think thats were the ed35 is a lot better and they are the same below it plus mines only going to get better with only 1100 miles on it, his has 14k.  I think the real difference is on a rolling start say from 30mph- 100 mph, the ed35 is right up their with R on a rolling start staight and thats were the Gti would be left in the shade, you could say how often would you do that but how often do you do 0-60 and so on.

Turbo lag on the ED35 is a fact, however I'm not saying that the GTI is better, if I were buying now I'd get an ED35 but to deny the Turbo Lag on the ED35 is wrong...
