Pulled up on two kids in a blue GTI at a light. The driver was probably 20 and the car had temps so I figured he'd be down to race. When the light turned green, I got on it halfway to see if he'd bite. Sure enough, he bit and when he got alongside me, I put the pedal to the floor. At the top of each gear, he'd pull a little bit (I've still got the stock 1.6 exhaust, which really limits my top end), but after each shift, I'd put him back a car or two. By the time I shifted into third, he was a good 4-5 cars back.
Aside from the 2.0L swap, all I've got is a K&N filter (I really need to get an exhaust and crank up the boost a bit). From what I could tell, the GTI seemed stock, though it sounded like he had an aftermarket BOV so he might have had an intake or something under the hood.
Edit: I think it was an '07, not an '06.
