surprised at how well the fabia vrs goes

[Diamond Hell]

Hope your not trying to say your r32 is faster than my golf, coz if you are that's the funniest thing iv heard this week...

Yawn.  Everything's now a 'how many BHP I have' competition, is it?

I will guarantee his R32 would be faster than your Golf in the damp and the wet.

And my Golf would be faster than both as it's much lighter and 4WD.

Go to a proper track and come back with some lap times, buffer-boy.

Also factor in the driver and how much bottle and ability they have!
Mind you tracks are easy to drive on! Huge wide corners and nothing coming the other way!

My mate Kris (Fabla on here) had a play with his mate in a 2.5 Z4; the Z4 lost the race to 100........

Mind you the 2.5 is fecking awful

He had a remapped mk6 would have probably been quicker than yours from rolling. Not sure though, and dont really care 
R32's are not for racing anyway, there for enjoying

I dont have a R32.. i have a remapped GTI. Yes it quite funny 

... if i did have an R32 you wouldnt get close

People get too hung up on peak power figures. There is a lot more when in its on the road, an R32 is brutal from low down and doesn't lose anything to the redline.
There were cars quicker, but i was never caught off guard due to all rev power (and DSG) lol

What you mean is it has large amounts of low down torque.

exactly... most people are happy to look at the weight and power of the R32 and then decide its slow.

have a quick look at TG powerlap times to see how it handed the GTI and ED30 their a$$ on a plate*  


* and these are dry laptimes we are talking also. make the track wet and neither of the 2 cars mentioned would get within 5secs of the r32 on a relatively small track.

So how much bhp/torque is your Mk2 ABF running?

I don't understand this lack of power thing?
The R32 has 240bhp, that's a pretty reasonable output for a small hatch, not to mention the amount of low down torque it will have.
The power figures are true tested, unlike some figures quoted around this forum, which really belong in fairy land
