1/4 mile times....
« on: 28 June 2004, 19:56 »
right due to up and coming events.. (gti festival!!) i was wondering if anyone had the info on the following.....

right i want 1/4 mile times on the following cars.. (standard, from mag reviews etc)so we have an idea how our standard/modified times compare with the above figures (if anyone can find out??))

mk1 gti 1600
mk1 gti 1800
m2 gti 8v 1800
mk2 gti 16v 1800
mk2 g60 1800
mk2 rallye 1800
mk3 8v 2000
mk3 16v 2000
mk3 vr6 2800
mk4 1.8 20v gti (non turbo) 1800
mk4 2.0 8v gti
mk4 1.8t turbo (state variation)
mk4 v5 (not sure on engine size)
mk4 v6 4motion 2800
mk4 r32 3200
mk4 tdi (state variation) 1900

this (if we could get hold of press issue figures for all above examples) would give a good guide line to what speeds and times we could expact as a base example for our cars??? please excuse me if i havent included your car/s (cabriolets should fall into same bracket as hardtops...)

According to that site ...

1/4 mile times:-
MK2 8v 16.6 secs
MK2 16v 16.2 secs

Not alot in it! I suppose the terminal speed must be close to 90, that does the 8v a few favours with the gearing as that's about top in 4th.

More fuel for the 8v versus 16v eh boys ;)
