Has anyone mistaken or called your MK6 a MK5???

[matchboy]

Hey matchboy, I'm up for trackday when you are. Goodwood circuit ok for you in March? It'll be about £200 for the day and you'll need a spare set of front tyres to get you home afterwards and a helmet. I'll have a video camera set up in the car so I can put it up on the forum afterwards so everyone can see the outcome.

As for being an Adult, I'm 31 and married so I think I qualify. As for thingy size it's not exactly relevant.

P.S I ought to warn you in advance I've beaten MK5 GTI round silverstone so it might not be as easy as you think.

well done you, i'm really impressed.  next you'll be telling us that you beat porsche's too 

and as much as that would be fun, i'm not lewis hamilton and have no interest in f**king my car up by taking it round a track.  but thanks anyway!

I did beat porches (928's if you wanna look up what they are) yes, also some TVR's and Lotus's although the TVR's were only beatable in the wet as in the dry they had better straightline traction out of the twisties. The car has also clocked several sub 9 min laps of the ring (MKV DSG does it in 8:53) although admitadly with the last owner behind the wheel not me.

You wouldn't like it. It's bumpy, has no interior and it's noisey. You're money would be better spent on a MK6 R which I reckon with a few major tweaks could see sub 8 secs (for reference the new Skyline GTR is sub 8 min car). Sub 6 is not possible with any road car at the moment, I don't even think any full race cars can get close to 6 mins. You'd have to average approx 130mph round the 13 miles to get close to 6 mins.

do you know the difference between seconds and minutes?!    i believe the golf r will be touching 0-60 in 6 seconds without any tweaks.  why would i give a sh1t about how quick your car or any car goes on a track?!  i don't live on a track, and i don't use a track on my way to work!  in future, if you are going to reply may i suggest you actually read the post you're referring to first.

Ha ha that's a fair cop, I did miss read your post and I for that I am sorry.

As for track times it's the best distinction for real world performance as it inlcudes turns and different surfaces. Some cars can be blinding in a straight line but if they don't go round corners or brake very well then the performance in a straight line is a waste of time. This is why TG have to lap time board. It shows how just power alone will not make a quick car.

what a great thread! mk2 trackcars ftw

i confuse all new cars tbh, golfs, peugeots, seats. they all look the same. designed for soft pedestrian crashes etc rather than aesthetics. the mk6 is just the new jelly to come out the eurobox mould
