in all seriousness though if you want the best numbers off the line and 0-60 get a set of slicks for the rear and racing wheels, should cut at least a 1/2 sec of your et!

For $1000?
- Bieffe helmet ($200-300)
- StopTech Stainless Steel Brake lines ($170)
- Motul brake fluid ($30)
- 1 or 2 sets of brake pads ($150 each).
With the rest of the money, take the car to a road course, I guarantee it will be more fun than any other mod you can buy.
I'm sure the street racing fanboys will disagree, but.. to each his own.

Well it just hit me today. Ive never really raced someone seriously yet. But this souped up Jetta :-/ was riding my *** and then we were racing through traffic for about 20min. I guess im looking for something I get get the most out of from just hitting the gas and taking off. Does that make sense? I am so utterly new to mods so any help would be great.

Id suggest the pulley/plenum/cat combo as well for that. but then it comes time to decide if you want to go kinetix or crawford.
another possiblity if your wanting sound, get an exhaust, they can be had for 800 easily. couple it with a pop charger should sound nice for 1000, but the other combo would probably yeild more power... maybe; itd be close

guess thats possible, ideally they set up the course no never have you pointed at a curb or light post. if you loose controll in a turn you should just slide harmlessly through the course.
combine that with alot of turns and limited straight aways and itd be tough to get over 60mph.
but not that its impossible. but Im sure less cars have crashed in a parking lot than a track. ask Jtree
