Basically was on my way home yesterday from Marbella to Gibraltar, some nice roads on the way down...doing 220km/h as i had to get to a football match and as im cruising down the high way, i over take a Golf GT...1.4 TSI model by the looks of it....as i got a bit further away i check back in my rear view and i see this guy has pulled out of the slow lown and got into the fast lane....i think to myself, this guys having a laugh...few seconds later hes right behind me, i look at the speedo and marked 240km/h i stayed shocked as it didnt seem and then there was this bast*rd in a Golf GT right behind me pushing me out of the fast lane!!! How was it possible i am still shocked about it...i thought they were 1.4 TSI with like 170 bhp!! As we carried on the guy pulled into the slow lane again and i carried on down the fast, found myself over taking him again and then find him doing the same, pulling out of the slow lane and just pushing me of the fast.....could some one explain?? Iv checked on superchips.com and there dont seem to be any remaps for this car?? Question is...could it be the Golf GT is the better car (honestly doubt it and dont know why im asking)...but damm!!
-
Are you sure you were driving it properly :huh: :grin:
-
yeaa!!! telling u m8...was doin bouts 220...i started to pull away from him then he just like pushed me outta my lane and flew past me as if i were in a corsa or something....
-
didnt have two circular exhausts postioned in the middle of a rear bumped did it?? lol :grin:
-
m8 come on lol....wouldnt think that would pull away that quick either...aswell every time he pulled in and i over took, he had a really cheeky smile on his face....possibility of some tuning going on....

I would say it was probably a heavily modded GTI and the guy had taken off the badge/grill and put the GT's stuff on.

lol. They do it cos they enjoy seeing the look on your face as they whip yo butt. No serisously. Some Americans prefer the look of the rabbit over the GTI.
Weird people..... :wink:

There has to be something i can do to make sure everything in the car is running well?
-
take it to a rolling road, or back to the stealer, or whilst at the stealer ask to test drive another gti, then if it feels quicker then u know sumthings wrong!! :tongue:

Unless I'm being stupid, the state of tune your car is immaterial;
You say you were doing 220kph (nearly 140mph) and this guy came out of nowhere and then played with you at 150mph+
Your car obviously isn't ill - you were able to achieve these speeds - the important point is the fact that a car with (supposedly) 170bhp could accelerate up behind you and sit with you at these speeds.
This suggests some serious power under his bonnet. I wouldn't worry about yours, I would be more interested in what he's running....

After fitting" the full Milltek exhaust system and Superchips remap, the car was retested and showed a massive output of 225bhp - that's an increase of 58bhp - from a 1.4!!! "
found this on the milteck site!!!!!!!!!!!!
225bhp from a 1.4 is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shocked:

Eye - time for a poo poo - but how is racing somebody up to 140 mph in Gibraltar a safe thing to do??? Your concentrating at what mr 1.4 boy has done to your manhood and forgotten what every other road user was thinking as you passed them.... do i need to explain that bit?
Sorry - signed the old sensible bugger! :wink:
ps...... saying that i got an all time record low yesterday of 21.6 average mpg after a 60 mile run on my own - never once reached 3 figures! :smiley:

Have you been on it?? Its the AP-7 i beleive and its like really nice road...sorta know where all the odd bumps are but its good, hardly see any police on them aswell :)

There is a road somewhere in SA in the Karoo that is 100% straight and has no speed limit. We went on it a while ago. But were in the Pajero so didnt go too fast.
I really want to organise a day for my dad to take the GTI and his superbikes on a race track.
