Re: Stock Jetta GLX spanks 2 Modified late Model SE-Rs

Yeah, they hung with me through first and in to second.  But were fading fast by
third.  But, when your winning an inch seems like a mile.  Nice little cars
though.  I test drove one before buying my GLX.

Relating to quickness, Edmunds shows they have the same 7.8sec 0-60 time.  What
baffles me is that Edmunds show the GTI to have a 7.1sec.  Is the GTI that much
faster than the GLX. I didn't think a couple of hundred pounds made that big of a
difference.
