Race: '01 Jetta 1.8t (5-speed) VS. '03 Mitsubishi Galant (Automatic)

What do you think?

Whats the galant got in it???

I'd say if its an LS or GTS the galant prolly takes race.. but if its not an LS or GTS it might be close but id prolly lean on the Getta

i would go with the jetta on that one no question

if the jetta is turbocharged. it would win i think 5 speed is better than auto some of the time. but hey you never know what the galant has in it.

brandon

that's a mismatch it's like comparing a freakin snail vs. a turtle (jke) i would say jetta will smoke the galant no doubt about it

never ridden in a galant or a jetta but I would lean towards the jetta...

well the VR6 is faster than a 1.8T and I have seen a GT eclipse(stock 5spd) walk a VR6 with exhaust and intake slightly.

The Galant if it is 6G72powered it should will if both are stock is my guess. if the Galant is 4G64 powered than the galant will prolly lose

Since it is a turbocharge Jetta (1.8t) with a 5speed. I would have to say the Jetta and that is if the Galant is stock. The stock V6 (6G72) might give it a run for its money but not the 4G64 in stock form.

turbo VWs are slower than you think, a 6G72 will eat it a 4G64 will lose

I wouldn't exactly say the 8G will eat it.

Jetta 1.8t
180 hp
173 tq
3037-3291 curb weight (sedan or wagon)

8G V6
195 hp
205 tq
3,296 curb weight

IMO it would be a pretty good match but if the Jetta is a sedan with a curb weight of only 3037 compared to the V6 at 3296 and the fact that it is a manual compared to a auto it would boil down to the drivers and conditions of the race. I don't think the Galant would eat the Jetta....
