On my way home from work, an Integra tried to race me. I was thought about it but mine was just an XR stock so I didn't want to race it. While in the mood for speed, I tried to do some home made modifications now my checklight is on... GREAT! I like to hear some racing stories from people, maybe some track times! That would be great... How would the XR model do in the 1/4 mile run? I like to know.

I was with a couple friends... on the QEW heading back to T.O.... well they started to speed up! A friend of mine drives '91 passat STOCK! and another friend that drives a Jetta TDI STOCK! they sped up and I was being lost behind while I am keeping my RPMs high in order to catch up to them I couldn't... I finally hit 170kph, whiel they were at about 200kph! I had to brake because a 740iL was blocking me... then I had to accerate but it jsut wouldn't budge!! anything after 130kph the car is just SLOW!!! I would never underestimate a 16V passat ever again!

No racing yet but I did some 0-60 times with a friend. So far its 0-60 in 7.42 sec in my XRS. I've read in Road &amp; Track Magazine that they have gotten 0-60 in 7.2 sec. Oh well I guess I have to keep trying. That and wait until the TRD supercharger comes out next year.
