Big Turbo GTI vs Whipple Mustang

Heard they hate on GTIs in here so here’s a run vs a ESS Kit Mustang on 10 psi. I’m on 40 psi, 60mm turbo shitty NY pump E65, both cars on slicks yadda yadda. 60 roll 🍞

Are these guys street racers?

I don't know anything about street racing, but there's this group of guys that have these cars with really loud engines that pop and make random explosion sounds. They meet at this industrial park roundabout late at night and drive their cars around for a short time before dispersing. Their engines are so loud that I can actually hear when they get together and race around, and I live 5 miles away from that location.

The only reason I know where they get together is because late one evening on the 4th of July a few years back I happened to be parked on the side of the road in the industrial park facing the roundabout, while visiting my boyfriend who had just gotten off of work after staying late. We watched these guys race around with fireworks going off around/from their cars while someone was recording them. It was actually pretty cool.

Then some of them left the roundabout, drove in our direction, and started drifting really close to my car. All of that happened within like a span of maybe 5-10 minutes before they all drove away. I also had my son with me who was 5 at the time and he thought the whole thing was super cool and waved at them as they all drove off.

Edit: I wanted to add that I have been trying to find the video online, if they posted it. Fireworks + drifting is apparently a popular thing, but if they did record them drifting close to my car I'll know right away it's the right video because my car is a purple 2010 Scion XD.

M278 Cls550 on e85 vs my Gti

He was getting on it so I had to catch up to him. After running him down and passing him he pulled on side and said he was full throttle and asked wth is done to it. He said he has downpipes and a flex fuel kit also said that has to be the fastest VW he's ever seen. I told him it's even faster so I gave a look at the RAL a pull and we parted ways.

This is what street racing is all about. Meeting different builds and people.

Hellcat vs my GTI

New tuner and wanted to see how my car will do with a hellcat if he got the hit. Car is way faster than before. It never pulled this hard before.

My car did bog on the side of the semi because I forgot to shift so it cut throttle completely. Still was able to catch him and then I let off.

GTI:
G25-660
MPI

Hey guys just wanted to see your guys opinion on which car you would buy a 2018-19 c7 z06 or a 2018-19 hellcat widebody charger redeye keep in mind automatic. I’m really stuck on which one I should get or do you guys have any better options for 75-80k? I also don’t really care if it’s a 2 door or 4 door. I’m also willing to put like 10-15k into it.
