0-60 times

[Cable]

VW say that the 16v gti, can do 0-60 in 8.0 seconds, i can easily do this in the wet (carefully). When its dry i would like to see what it can do.

Im not saying its only the 16v i bet the other models can get this as well, and with the top speed it is also higher than the 'book' figures.

Does anyone know if vw or all manufactures underestimate figures?

btw my car and engine has done 147,000 miles

i take it your using a very expensive gps meter to measure these times?

[Cable]

no, i just made a video and checked the times, i understand that the speedos are slightly out, so i let the needle get to around 64 to stop the clock

I very much doubt a 16v could do in less than 8 seconds.

you cant mesaure a 0-60 time using human judgement, has to be mechanical..

i managed 0-60 in a day once.

You can do it using one of newer versions of VAG-com.
