Is the standard MK5 GTI fast enough?

[Hurdy]

That is an awesome video, car sounds amazing what kind of speed did you get up to on that final straight?

167mph on the GPS.
Got overtaken by a 599XX on that straight on the same day. Now that did sound awesome

GeorgeJoshington, err no, not quite standard

Hehe, looks like a cracker. Sadly I wouldn't have the time/talent/money to a project like that!

I think the ed30 is world's apart in terms of putting a smile on your face over a standard gti.

I think worlds apart is far too strong a word.

Shouldn't that be "too strong a word" Alan

The correct phrase Keano was looking for is that the Edition 30 is in a different class to the GTI

Edition 30 = University masters degree course in geo-physics

GTI = Nursery school remedial class

 


Only Kidding Alan, but you know you want an ED30 really

[AlanD]

Haha ! We all knew what I meant.

Oh, dont get me wrong, Id have rather had an ED30 but when I got my MK5 (which seems so long ago now) my budget didnt stretch that far.

Having said with some nice mods under the bonnet and outside I am more than happy with my GTI and all this talk over more power blah blah blah I really dont think I need more than 250bhp going through my front wheels so I'm happy.

You need a drive in mine (without the nitrous!) and then you would want more power, it is just a little addictive though

[AlanD]

That sounds like an offer to me

[Saint Steve]

That sounds like an offer to me

He's gota fix it 1st though Alan

Even as it is it is faster than yours Steve

50bhp jets run okay, so that means 400bhp and 450lbft.

Modified there is little between them (although the S3 is much faster  )
