PERFORMANCE
« on: 15 February 2005, 21:19 »
Today i was involved in a bit of a performance test against a mk5 Golf diesel and
couldn't believe how much i had to thrash my car (golf v6 4 motion) to loose the bloody thing.
How can a standard oil burner be that quick ? I was gutted!
I'm seriously looking at taking the slug  to a tuners to check out the lack of so called pace!
Has anybody out there been shafted by the oil burners performance ?

The new top of the range VW oil burners can have 190 ponies as standard, and one hell of  a lot of torque i should imagine!

I have got a brand new but real fun  combined harvester comes to mind  :evil:

i got to admit the new diesels are dreadfully rapid. even my fathers diesel 75 has a strange effortless acceleration. although my 827 was not happy in milan (due to a massive cooling problem) - i had to wring its neck to beat my mates diesel golf.

ive raced a mk4 TDi along a dual carrageway the other month, it was blowing alot of smoke as he thrashed it, every time i got infront we both had to slow down for the speed cameras, then he'll get infront, it was quite funny actually.  :grin:

Yes its a sad fact that diesels nowadays are very fast. I had a bit of trouble getting away from a ford mondeo tdci the other month, i was gutted.
The golf 150 gttdi can be chipped anywhere up to 220bhp with all that torque. Youve got no chance, especially if they are 4wd. But i agree with dizzie they still sound poo, although they are getting quieter plus with a turbo whistle can sound pretty nice so yes im depressed now and will stop thinking about it.  :cry:

I dont like diesels, just because they sound awful, and they only rev up to around 5k, but i have to admit the torque they have is something else.  :sad:
