[Blog][Pics]Your cars, show them to me

It's a 2001 Jetta VR6. I don't know of any cars on TW that could take me from a highway roll (wah wah wah lets race from a dig wah wah), but I'm sure there are lurkers with faster cars.
It has a LSD, rear sway bar, and H&R sport springs all around, Bilstein race shocks/struts. I don't autocross or anything like that, I barely ever push my comfort zone in the bends, I just like to go really, really fast. On the highway it's pretty epic, but below 60mph i can freely spin the tires. I have a 2 stage boost controller with a switch on the dash I can flick between 8.5 psi and whatever the max is at the moment. The car is gearing limited to about 163 with my tires, and it has the topend to reach that speed really quickly. I don't have any interest in doing it again though, it was completely reckless
that's cool. you don't seem to be a typical vw douche (1.8t never loses, etc.)...
I had a MkIV GTI w/ a VR6... it was always frustrating at how poorly it put even the limited power I had down. needless to say, very stark contrast to what I drive currently...
stock image, but mine looks exactly the same.
2003 Corolla S
I'm getting close to 100K miles too
Also, since I figure this thread will attract the people that would know: It's been feeling pretty sluggish lately. I'm thinking that part of it may be that the computer adjusted to how it was driven while my parents had it (if it has a computer, I'm unsure), and part of it may be that it needs some maintenance. Other than feeling massively underpowered from what I remember it being though, it drives fine. Anyone know what might be the problem?

Plugs, dirty air filter/fuel filter, the list goes on my friend.
my brother decided to take it out for a joy ride with some friends
in the rain
at 2 in the morning
down a twisty unlighted road.
it was prettier before
he was ok cause i had a roll cage installed.
he flipped it onto the roof and slide aways. nobody got hurt. he was just being an idiot.

I guess I should check/replace those. I have no idea when they were last replaced. I know being at over a mile high doesn't help with the power either

Did you murder him?
yeah i agree, the typical vw owner is a twat. i cant really relate to most of them, and a lot of the attention my car gets at get togethers/meets is not the kind I like. I keep it clean and running well, no body kit, no stickers of the shocker, etc.
I do have an exhaust cutout with a motor, also on a switch in the cabin. it gets pretty loud going turbo-DP-air... made 30whp more with it open, too. I've posted a video of it before but I think putfile broked permanently
yessir.
6.0
Volant Intake
Pacesetter Longtube Headers w/o cat
Bassani Catback Exhaust
SLP Underdrive Pulley
very nice, mine's pretty much stock except for the catback, I absolutely love the car though
Hope you tuned that bitch... My GTO didn't like LTs without a tune all that much, but it was a monster with a tune...

Harnesses and all that too?
Any other mods?

full cage
5 pt belts
fair amount of engine work
fair amount of break work
fair amount of suspension
it was a very well rounded car.
