MK2 Performance?
« on: 27 December 2004, 22:08 »
What are the official VW performance figures for the MK2 GTI (8v and 16v)?

ie) top speed, 0-60, bhp, torque

8v 112bhp, 114lb(?) 0-60 about 9 secs
16v 139bhp, 124lb(?) 0-60 about 7.5 secs

everyone has their own opinion on the 0-60 but id say a good example of each should get those times

official figures from VW are abit more promising

16v 7.5secs
8v 8.3secs

these are rolling road figures though.  although i can quite easily keep up with mk4 gti's in an 8v those that arent remapped tho lol, altho they do have the edge once they hit 70 cause it gets scary when the dash starts to vibrate and the steering wobbles.

Official vw figures for an 8v are actually 10 secs to 60, that is for a digifant.

now shhhhh :wink:

if any 8v owner there has goot proof of their 0-60, like a drag run or a reading from a g tech or similar device please put it up, but if its read from the speedo and a stopwatch it means nothing :laugh:

Whats a digifant. and how do you know if you have 1 lol?

My 1990 (H) 8v is MUCH faster than 10seconds to 60  :undecided: , my sodding 1.3 'old' mini takes 12 secs and that seems like an ice age  :grin:
