One day I out-accelerated a BMW M5. In a 2-litre Jetta. An automatic, 2-litre Jetta. There was no skill involved really. I just put my foot down expecting to be left behind in a cloud of disintegrating Dunlops, to listen to that sweet V8 song as the Bimmer taught me how it's really done. Instead, Mr. M5 bogged the launch and I found myself alone, thinking we had gotten our signals mixed up, until he flashed by in an embarrassed fury two blocks later. But the game was already over.

eh?
the Jetta 1.8T's acceleration is blisteringly fast. According to Volkswagens' published performance figures, the 2002 Jetta 1.8T with a five-speed manual transmission accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in
7.7
and thats the time for a NEW 1.8 turbo manual 5 speed not an auto
BMW M5. bhp, 507bhp. Max Speed, 155mph (limited). Acceleration 0-60,
4.7 seconds.
just a pet peeve of mine. I know/knew a guy that used to g oon about how his piper-crossed/big bore exhaust 1.8 I vauxhall vectra could rip porsche 911's
It just brought back terrible memories when I read it.

Oh right. It's just that what he's saying on that page isn't that his car was faster, but that the driver of the M5 fucked up his launch.]
I was reading it more along the lines that he stalled.
