Well had a few lets say challenges in reality over a the past few weeks with other cars. And im sure many of you lads and ladies must have comee across with other cars.
Obviusly some are faster then others and some are slower then others.
And some if not most of the time i cant be arsed to race. Tho at time you have to pull away that bit qiucker.
So what im trying to say is....
Which golf will match up to the other car stats wise and give an even race?
Who will win? eg speed motorway, from the lights, cornering in reality and so forth.
let me give an example of the cars that have challenged me.
(which golf) vs Honda civic Type R?
(which golf) vs Saab 900 Turbo?
-
1989 VW Golf 1.6 Driver Vs 2006 Ferrari Enzo = I got spanked beyond belief.
-
hahaha. Im sure it was real but realism is appreciated haha
-
LOL the thing is mate i did actually have a race with one needless to say it wasnt really a race it was just a complete SPANKING obviously.
anyway back to topic,
MK4 Golf 1.8t Vs Audi S3 1.8t i reckon this would be quick a close run race but i reckon S3 would clinche it.
-
does the S3 have only a 1.8T?
Not bad effort there mate, considering i believe they are the same engine!
-
yeah im sure the s3 was a 1.8t 225bhp lump
-
straight line race between a pug 205 gti 1.9 and a mark 2 valver would be insteresting. my mate has one but i have never been in a situation to do so.
-
A Mk4 1.4 16v vs Nova SRi 1.4... Whupped him!! and his car laden with chavs :laugh:
-
MK4 Golf 1.8t Vs Audi S3 1.8t i reckon this would be quick a close run race but i reckon S3 would clinche it.
If both were standard the Audi would spank it's @rse.
I presume we're talking standard cars here so - (I mention GTI's so this doesn't include VR6s or R32s by the way)
Civic type R would spank all standard GTI's in a straight line, maybe not so on the twisties.
Saab's can be quite quick beasts but I don't think they're that nimble and a mk2 16v would give it a good run for it's money but I don't know about a mk3 16v and mk4 1.8t as they are heavier cars.
Topher has already warned me off the Reneault Clios (172 16v I think), even in the Rallye as they have similar power but the Clio is as heavy as a cardboard box and probably about as well built as one ! :laugh:
Funny really as when I'm in my mk1 cab everyone wants to race me but in the Rallye people are not so up for it. :laugh:

aye but a mk2 golf 1.8t would be a different story :)

I wouldn't be so worried about them Clios mate as your Rallye isn't standard anyway is it?
Mine kept up with them before it was set up and it feels a lot quicker now it's running right so I would imagine a well sorted Rallye wouldn't have a problem...
As for the original post...I'm surprised the Civic driver even bothered trying seeing as they have a 50bhp advantage over the mk3! Typical idiot who sees the GTI badge on a Golf and instantly thinks that means a race is on :rolleyes:
-
I took on a Ferrari with an 8v Mk2 GTi and won, me boll@cks were bigger.(And my car worth £2000 verses £100,000)
Might of had something to do with this. :wink:

"Civic type R would spank all standard GTI's in a straight line, maybe not so on the twisties."
Thats exactly what happend, saw the badge and up for a race.
Well the story went like this........................
im at the lights and just got away qiuckly i didnt even see the type r driver, on a dual carriageway.
Civic comes up flying behind me and a roundabout is approaching, kept the power on and the !6s handle very well ( not sure how the other golfs handle but i rekon a mk3 on 16s anni wheels is pretty good)
anyway gained some ground, lights change to red inthe distance i now slow down with light traffic and he comes up behind me in my lane.
Lights go green,
Accelerate in traffic all the cars infront move over and i accelerate hard with the civiv up my arse
anyway still on the dual carriageway i stay in my lane, he moves to the left and now there are 2 cars infront of us, basically blocking our path. a lane opens up on the left ina few 100m civic goes undertakes the guy floors it now hard,
THEN the driver in front cuts him up hard! and goes into his lane!! Near crash!!! he slams on the brakes, hand on his horn. i take the middle lane and pass him and another roundabout is approaching i gain some ground on the roundabout and turns into a single lane now short distance to next roundabout he turns right i go straight.
Story over.
