On my way home, I was sitting at a red light facing a freeway on-ramp with a merge getting onto the on ramp when some guy in a Charger with the "HEMI" fender logos came screeching to a stop on my right side, acting froggy. This is my favorite spot to run people. I do NOT know what a "HEMI" Charger is capable of, all I could discern was bigger wheels, lowered, exhaust and intake by the way he bombed into the lane next to me. Honestly my biggest concern was FWD traction, as usual! When the light turned green we both launched, I had to pedal my car a bit but I was able to keep the FWD demons at bay, the DSG was in regular "D" mode (as if it matters?) and through first gear I surprised myself, I was able to stay dead even with a RWD V8 car, finally! Not even a chirp from the front tires (I normally blow the tires off when provoked) and of course getting into 2nd gear pulled a good deal and when 3rd gear hit the GTI really started to pull away at which point the Charger guy graciously let off to merge a safe distance behind me. I appreciated this guy knowing when to give up and not try and push things over the speed limit.
But I am most proud of not blowing my tires off this time! Small personal victory for me! I am not so sure if it is a big deal for a JB1 GTI to beat a HEMI Charger...I doubt they are even quick?
