VW Jetta is so SLOW!!!!

VW Jetta is so SLOW!!!!
So I was driving my truck(93 Toyota pos, 2wd, 22RE, 5 speed) and this a@@hole in an early 2000's VW Jetta had been tailgaiting me for over a mile. I was doing 45 in a 40 when he came up on me pretty quick and proceeded to ride my ***. So I dropped down to 40 and just waited until the road opened up to 4 lanes about a mile up.
I knew he was going to blow by me, so I dropped down to 2nd and decided to **** with him. 40mph at 2nd is right in the meat and potatoes of the powerband in my truck, I was thinking he'll probably just blow by my slow pathetic ***.
But no, he pulled about even with my door by the time I floored it. And he stayed right there until I let out at 85mph, absolutely nailed the 2-3 and 3-4 shift. He did the traditional ricer flyby and then quickly turned off on a side street.
What was even funnier is that I figured out he was a poor retarded ricer when he stepped on it, Jetta had a LOUD fart cannon exhaust, some body damage on the rear fender, and a set big wheels.
His Jetta had to be the base 4 cylinder, he would've walked me hard if it had the 1.8 turbo motor. And it definetly didn't sound like a diesel. It was this body style, btw.
Here's my truck, hope his pride got knocked down a notch in that he couldn't even beat this pos

granted it was a whooping but I raced him before and stayed on his bumper.
here is that corrado vs my ws6 to give you an idea that its a pretty quick car (very short run(bounced rev limiter in 1st and second )

Yeah probably the 2.0 crap motor. I have a 2004 GLI with the 2.8L VR6. Not the fastest thing out there but it's got a 200HP and 195ft/lb rating. Decent and deff can hold off Civics and such. Poor guy was soooo screwed after that. I remember my dads old 86 Toyota pickup with the 22RE, thing wasn't to shabby for it's time. Deff kicked ***! Reliable *** heck to boot!

Hey now, it runs about a million times better than it looks. Since that picture I've fixed the hood latch and gotten rid of the cord. Also fixed the busted headlight, turns out it was just a rock that hit the sealed beam, easy fix. Did a full tune up on it, it absolutely purrs. 162k on it, doesn't use any oil, runs like a champ. Has a new clutch in it as well, that wasn't cheap. Southern truck, so its actually cleaner on the underside than the "shiny" side.
Interior was a project as well, seat was in good shape, not ripped, great foam, but was horribly stained. Used two cans of carpet cleaner to get the seat looking like new, the stuff with the orange lid works wonders. Put new window cranks on the doors, and just really scrubbed the ever living hell out of it.
Also put 4 new speakers in it, 6x9 rears, 4" fronts. Still has the original 90's Kenwood tape deck. Using one of those tape deck to 3.5mm aux input thingys, it plays my MP3's. Sounds a hell of a lot better than most new car radios.
It looks like a joke, but honestly it rides nice, drives great, runs great, the seat is comfortable, has a nice stereo in it, reliable as all get out, and I don't give a **** if somebody runs into it or opens their door into it.

This is true... There's a hell lot of riced VW in my area..They travel and packs and go to honda meets just to get smoked.. They all seem to have blacked out lights, bigger blow off valve and bigger inter-cooler and the extra 30whp stickers that the put all over there cars. For those of you that don't know... street glow stickers are good for an easy 5whp! Good kill. I love seeing trucks smoke cars.

He wouldn't take the bait, maybe because he saw me using my phone as a camera, or maybe because he was a bitch.

I tried to race a eurotrash jetta in my silverado yesterday. The kid looked like a prepubescent vegetarian with a hoodie and aviators (it was about to rain and this loser is wearing sun glasses).
