Race with Ed35 - guess who won?

[simonpolly]

Sounds a bit like my neighbour who tells me his 1.2 Ibiza goes like sh1t off a shovel. How he laughs at the look on tailgating BMW drivers faces, as he pulls away from them without even changing down.

Is that the vicar ?

Seems to be loads of ed35s ordered recently.
I've not met one yet, sure the bluefin would make the difference if I did.

sure you didn't race a bluemotion?

Read the post by Penguin, then it may make sense to all you non believers.  The Ed35 is NOT much faster than a standard GTI which has been proven today   

I think that goes without saying their is only 0.3 to 60 differance, what makes me laugh is you thinking you wiped thefloor with it, unless you are remaped.

No, they moved to Knighton couple of weeks ago. There's no one there at the moment, so our kids are having a wail of a time climbing their trees. The Ibiza tamer lives a bit further up on the other side.

Yeah actually funny isn't it but yes I left it behind, no my car is not mapped.  It's possible it was a brand new car being run in who knows or cares! I know that my GTI beat an Ed35 end of.  Tomorrow is another day and no doubt I shall be well beaten sooner or later, but don't be so bitter not to let me have my 5 mins of glory.  Thank you.

Thanks love, I shall be careful, certainly don't want anymore points! I don't usually do much racing but today it seemed rude not to, the Ed35 was goading me

A std GTI will make 210 on rollers give or take 2-3%. A ed35 will make 235 give or take the same. Its as simple as that.

I did race a remapped ed30 against a revo'd mk6 GTI. It was a close call but pulled from me in every gear. Over a 1/4 I would say a couple of car lengths at most although he did have a slight jump.

If I was the bloke in the 35, I think I may have been tempted to taken the oppertunity to give chase to a GTI in front of me that was pressing on, but I would have kept my distance for the sake of stone chips. It's really not worth trying to prove a point.

If an ed35 is only 25bhp more than gti then that advantage could easily be destroyed by spec sheets.

Add a sunroof, the body kit must weigh a bit, the stupid optional wheels, all the cameras and parking sensors, leather, 5 doors, winter pack etc etc and a 25bhp advantage would be gone compared to a standard gti on 17s

Not forgetting. Turbo that spins up slower than the standard GTI and you've got IMO an even race.

I would love to come across a mapped ED35 against my mapped GTI, whilst the ED35 will have monster power will it be able to put it down to rip me a new one?


I'll be goi g to Inters in the summer so you never know I might find out
