What's the 1.8t (remapped) like against say, the R32? :evil:
Or against standard hot hatches like the VXR & Clio?

You will be very close to every other (standard) hot hatch out there, remember there is very little between a car that will do 6.5 to 60 and 7.0 to 60.
You are more likely to use 30-70 though.

Fact is you are more than likely to come up against mapped versions of the cars you stated and will be slower.

If you intend to do drag/track then the mk4 gti is probably not the best out the box car? Infact very few hatches are!

none of them - they're all crap!!!  99% of the threads on here are asking 'what's wrong with my poxy petrol engine'  :laugh: :laugh:

Get a TDI  :evil:


What about your "I'm fed up with my car - I want to get rid" thread, though?!  :P  :D

Mine is (well, was until my manifold starting blowing it's arse off :rolleyes:) SLIGHTLY quicker in a straight line than a standard Mk4 R32 (in the dry), but needed a few handling mods to compete on track.

For track work, I probably wouldn't consider anything French unless it's still under warranty, but the following I'd consider fairly handy cars:-

Clio 182 Cup/Trophy
Clio 197/200 Cup
Mapped Megane R26
Integra Type R (DC2)
Civic Type R (EK9 or EP3)
Mk4 R32
Mapped Mk5 GTI
Mapped Mk1 S3
Mk1 Elise
E46 M3/330
Mapped Mk1 Focus RS
Mapped Mk2 Focus ST
ZS 180 (SERIOUSLY! ;) - Not the ZR, though, they're proper sh*te)
MX5 (if you can get over the image, lol)  :D

Probably forgotten a few other good'uns, but that'll do for now!  8)

p.s.  DO NOT even think about the 2.0 8v!  115 bhp in 1236 kg = Not very quick car!  ;)

funny enough, if you go into the remapping thread there is a bit with me asking about getting the speed limiter removed, and rtec seem to think 180 would be the vmax?
