Edition30 to Mk6

[carl1]

Yes im not talking Track times, and nor to Vw quote there standin start runs either in track times.

No disbuting the wheel wheel drive round a track benefit, but if i was following from 40mph and nailed the throttle, it would be see you later R32 

So this is the only thing you can come up with that a standard ed30 would beat a R32? Well ive had both and from 40mph i reckon it would be close.
But what about other challanges
                                                0-60 r32 wins
                                                exiting corners r32 wins
                                                top speed r32 wins
                                                round top gear track r32 wins

These are just a few of the top of my head and they are all in dry weather so yo can double that amount by adding wet conditions. So  that makes the r32 faster in my book

I think in terms of a better ride, nicer cabin and of course quieter ride that you've probably done yourself a favour in going for the mk6.  As you said there isn't a marked difference in speed from your edition30 so you may not much if anything different.

Anyway congrats on your order when are you likely to get the car?

looking at gossa's RR results.. if you get one like his you wont notice the difference between that and the ED30 anyway

[carl1]

its only 0.1 sec difference to 62 mph anyway

[R32UK]

its only 0.1 sec difference to 62 mph anyway

there we go... 0.1 isnt going to make much difference at all anyway. With more power available lower down the revs its probably going to be more usable too.

MK6 GTI FTW

An R32 DSG will crack 5.7 to 60. Its been done by several r32oc members.

Its a common myth that the ED30 is faster than a R32... a remapped one, yes. Std no.

Why would VW make another golf quicker than their flagship after all.

They did 

They haven't? Even modded vs modded an R32 would win - 500+bhp turbo vs 300bhp remap

ED30 is slower, will be close in a straight but be left behind on the twisty bits. GTI is slower noticeably.

MK6 GTI is slower than the upcoming Golf R (the new flagship)

Sorry, but I have to call BS!!!

Mine slaughtered an R32 at Spa Francorchamps...several times...in the wet...and I was on R888's. Just ask RedRobin.

To the OP. You have a good car in the ED30. Keep it for another year or so until the true MKVI shows its face and not the MKV.5

The MKV.5 is a good car, but it wasn't enough to tempt me out of mine for just a few silvery bits of trim and a faux LSD.

My ED30 is at 5.03 to 60mph and on the stock turbo they have been down to 4.6

Give £500 to each of the owners of the R32 and the ED30 and you would see all those (apart from maybe No2!) swap places. In the wet maybe 2-1 to the ED30 and a draw on the track time.

Think this has gone into a modded car frenzy.. the OP has ordered a MK6 GTI. As we know they are better than the MK5 Gti and seem to be putting out good figures also. the only real question was if he should keep the ed30 or change... and the decision has been made.

You will like whatever you go for as there is very little in it.

As for your car hurdy, it would probably beat almost all golfs* out there so its not really fair

*excluding my old superduperR32

[Hurdy]

I agree (partially) with you.

The new GTI has moved the game on from the MKV in terms of quality (in some areas anyway!) and I cannot fault anyone from moving to one from any MKV variant.
