Hi guys, I just wanted your opinions on something which has been bugging me.
I have a 2000 B5 TQS which is stock apart from coilovers, my friend has a B6 TQS with the 190ps engine with the 6 speed box, again stock apart from coilovers.
Out of interest we decided to pit them against each other at an air strip near where we live just to see what would happen and given the relative weight/power differences between the two chassis I would have thought they should near enough be nose to nose, or the B5 be further if anything.
Initially I had the advantage and managed to pull out a significant lead, however he overtook me like I wasn't even moving once I got to 5th gear despite my foot being glued to the floor, so naturally I thought something must be wrong.
Both cars were scanned with VCDS, neither displayed any faults and both run perfectly under normal driving conditions, so my question is, am I just being stupid thinking that my B5 should be at least as quick as the B6 if not quicker, or could there be something I'm not picking up on? it boosts fine, MAF is fine, coolant temp sensor reads correctly and yet I'm feeling like a snail!
Does the B6 have a K03s? I'm not sure If I have a K03 or a 3s
