So, when I had now bought the SS, I had a lot of "talk" from tuners <cough> tr1ad <cough>, how the old Swift GTi was a lot faster, due to it's lighter weight and whatnot. I took it as fact.

Now today, a goodly fellow in a white swift gti with a noisy exhaust (and intake?) apparently was being friendly and beeped his horn in acknowledgement as he passed on the highway. I of course was very disrespectful (geared down and overtook)......after which we both cruised at 80 km/h on the left lane Rolling Eyes

.

I'll say this:

1) The GTi (I'm assuming was N/A) IS a surprisingly fast car, so I can see the potential an F/I one will have.

2) 3rd gear acceleration from cruising in the SS makes it hard to see # plates of following cars ( Laughing

)

3) Top end is near the same.

lol i was wondering if u were directing that at me (im so vain!!)

naw, i aint white no more.....and i aint stock Laughing

but i aint running down nutting no more, partly due to fear, partly due to a combination of bad gas, too much timing, boost spike and a heavy foot..........so i limping for the hour....

plenty white gti's about... and there are a few that are relatively stock.

if only we could have a 'zuki meet, you could match up with a stockish one, like the grey one that was for sale, or maybe one of jonathan's gti's Laughing

(not the boosted one tho)

oh if i wasn't limping i would have loved to give u a run, not no high speed thing, on a empty road late late at night........ maybe to 120- 140kmh, we'll see who gets there first Very Happy

Knight1 · Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2009 5:51 pm Post subject:

^^Nah nah I'll pass Laughing

. The SS is honestly the daily beater/grocery getter......aka it'll remain as it is for a while.

The mods/need for speed goes into the other car (I'm a Suby owner first and foremost!).

Bro.....no need to get all riled up man! We all in one camp here yuh know!

I just gave my perceptions of what I experienced. And I still stick by what I've said.

If I'm wrong, or if I've over-glorified the whole thing.....I do apologise. Let me re-iterate, I'm NOT trying to portray some grand reckless FnF scene. My intention was just to give my 2c to the whole Gti v.s. SS matter.....as I've heard alot about it......but I admit that I am new to the Suzuki scene.

But...honestly...... if fellow 'zuki men this hostile....and this competitive...jeez jed....Slayer yuh better count me out of any 'zuki meetings dude.

Shocked
