So are you saying stock WRX vs chipped VW your WRX is faster or heavily modded vs heavily modded your WRX is faster? Ah, nevermind. It doesn’t matter since it’s all bench racing anyways. My money would still be on an STI vs an APR tuned 2.0T. APR 2.0T vs stock '06 WRX I think would be close. But again, pointless bench racing.
Sounds like you have and do own some nice cars. :tup:
Oh, and I agree the level of fit and finish on VW’s is great. Unfortunately that also makes them heavy and thus difficult to make “fast”. They also don’t exactly have Japanese reliability. Although I like mine, it probably won’t be long before it’s gone and there’s an E36 in its place…

i’d be willing to bet his GLI is somewhere around that too.
moral of this story is don’t post VW kill stories on here unless you’re killing a VW. i never post my kill stories (i don’t have any, but i wouldn’t if i did)

APR stg3 runs 380cc injectors. Maybe thats why your gli loses to your wrx.
edit: i also don’t believe in any instance of reasonable driving skill that a 2.0t will keep up with an sti. I call this null.

Brian it is not a complete apr stage 3 kit…For all intensive purposes i called it an APR stage 3 b/c it utilizes several parts from it. It is a collection of parts myself and a my tuner assembled and put together. But thank you for trying to call my bullshit…hahaha

trust me, i have nothing to prove… i am not here to make a name for my gti or anythign, i am just saying what happened! there is no exageration at all.
I am willing to run skruge (as long as you are stock) agian, i dont care who i beat or beat me im just trying to see where i am compared to others.
and i belive ive seen stage 3 1.8t’s runnning in the 12’s…not 14’s…seeing as how chip/i/e 1.8t’s run mid to low 14’s.

Maybe if i would have spent the money to buy a real APR Stage 3 kit i would be running 12’s , but hell i dont think my WRX would run 12’s

My jetta 1.8t is a bit quicker than my cousin’s stock 06 STI from 2nd-3rd. He starts to pull after I shift to 4th.

i’ve never seen a true stage 3 apr setup put someone in 12’s. that seems a bit extreme.
