My neighbour took my out in his 300+ bhp GT TDI with over 450ftlb torque last night.
F* ME! Thought I was gonna die, Ive never gone so fast into roundabout and made it out the other side! 4 wheel drifts and all sorts! Fair play these golfs are EXTREMELY capable if pushed to their limits.
We were entering corners. where as I would be breaking, he was accelerating into 3rd gear. Absolutely ridiculous.
It will spin for grip in 3rd gear, the torque is crazy.
A brief spec of his car:
Huge FMIC
Massive Turbo
Ethanol
Propane
NOS
Custom spray bar running off aircon pump
LSD
19" OZ
Huge drilled discs
FR Coilovers
Plate Clutch
The only thing missing is a built in toilet - cos I was S**Ting myself!
Ive been in my mates civic type R when he used to drive it like he wanted to die when we were younger, but this was mental, Ive never been in a car driven so savagely and the car just took it ALL in its stride. He was making minor corrections, back end out, front end out, it felt like it was such a direct drive, no wallow in the corners or body roll. Awesome.
He tried to bate a Civic Type R at one point but the civic didnt want to know, (thankfully!) I think if we had gotten into a race like that, I wouldnt be alive to type this story!
The issue he is having with it is the MAF cant cope with the huge volumes of air, so Jabba Sport suggested an audi tt 225bhp maf (GTI maf), but that still cant cope, and as a result the engine cuts out on max boost. Anyone know of a way around this? RS 4 MAf or something?

ps all this took place on private roads.
