I cant see FWD hitting below 5 secs unless its fully made for it and over 500BHP.
400bhp supercharged EP3's are getting low 5 secs, there just isnt enough traction/grip.
PMSL. He's low 5's (5.2) with -60bhp on that charged EP3!
Probably down to the longer gearing of the Golfs box.
You misunderstood my point. I have seen EP3's with 450bhp not break under 5 secs (very rarely) as FWD limits them too much, more power does not improve grip and just spins more. 300bhp Type R's are getting 5.2/5.3 and 400bhp ones are only doing 5.1/5.2 They are, however, pulling much better 1/4 times as the extra power comes in while rolling.
I expect him being 60bhp down is actually beneficial for a 0-60.
IIRC the ctr is currently the fastest FWD car in europe as well with a 10.08 from guy at CPL
