Jesus!!!!
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.
All burglars must die slowly ASAP.

We're not talking modded vs standard.

http://www.fastestlaps.com/cars/vw_golf_r.html                          (R)

 http://www.fastestlaps.com/cars/vw_golf_gti_mk_vi.html           (GTI)

Shows exactly what your saying the GTI is actually faster to 40kph then the 35

Usefull site but i think to be used as a guide and not as gospel as info is taken from various sources and their are too many variables, Im a bit suspect of a standard gti doing 0-60 in 5.8.

This has got out of hand somewhat, I just posted what happened to me on one day.  On another day it may have been different but it was never meant to be a GTI versus Ed35 versus R who's car is the fastest thread.

Personally I couldn't give a sh!t whether the Ed35 has a couple more horses than mine or whatever, it was fun to have a bit of a race and even better that I won, no hard feelings between us as we gave each other a flash and wave as we parted.  It was a laugh,not to be taken seriously so get over yourselves and just enjoy driving your Golfs whatever edition you have.

It does make me smile when this happens, but what I think may have sparked off the debate is you saying that "you won"

Won what? Because neither of you were at 10-10ths and he had more sence than to try and overtake you?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I think it's a great website but that 0-60 MPH time is clearly wrong.
