Anyone got a VW Driver magazine with the performance figures for a tested mk6 GTI in please and could  let me know what they are?

Thanks

Manual prefered but either really i have an older mag with the mk5/ed30/R32 in and was just wondering as a comparison. Especially as the golf R figures were posted on another forum.

They are clearly bullsh!t though, the manual is faster than 147mph, and I really cant see the manual being 1/2 second quicker than the DSG to 8-mph.

I gave up on going by what magazines provide.

I don't take notice of any 0-60 or zero to whatever figures but its hard to screw up 30-50 and 50-70 in gear and i wanted to compare them to the new R figures in this weeks mag posted on another forum.

Here is my 0-60 with my VagCom tonight  :cool:
I've only done 900 miles, but thought I'd have a cheeky wee shot of DSG Launch Control.

Once I reached a few MPH over 60 I slowed down, so ignore the quarter mile time, and also the 60-90 time is missing.
VagCom accuracy says + / - 0.35 of a second.

Bearing in mind this is still a tight engine, imagine what it'll be like in another 500 - 1000 miles!!

An s3?  :tongue: :grin: :grin:

In this crazy world, S3's are cheaper than some Golfs, boys.

Nice though, wee re-map and some running in and it'd be a total weapon.

Can I have that go yet?  :tongue:
