9.7 seconds for 8v gti!!!!!!! thats what vw say!

[muppetsport]

id say 9.7 is about right is i raced an xr2i the other night and was only just quicker than it.

shockin really consider its called a gti, but hey, nice cars though unlike that rusty ford i raced

[turbo]

i raced a lupo gti and he didnt come passed me and there 8.2! i was supprised....

i think they get faster with age.......mine has over 190000 on it!

[turbo]

i bet its nearly worn out to a 2.0 ha ha just a thought!

Thanks boogeysheftel... here's the correct VW figures:


Performance:                        GTi              GTi 16V
-------------------------------------------------------------
Top Speed, mph/Kph              119/191       129/208
Acceleration, secs 0-50 mph     6.5              6.0
Acceleration, secs 0-60 mph     8.3              7.9

[workhorse '90 8v]

0 to 60 in 8.3 in a 8v !

anyone any idea what a full sports exhaust and an induction kit would knock off this time?

[Alexg40]

anyone any idea what a full sports exhaust and an induction kit would knock off this time?

About 0.2 secs!?

[turbo]

theses figure were from the vw golf instruction manual!
it says the same top speed nearly the clock 120mph but a diferent 0 - 60
ive always thought they were faster than 9.7 may have been a printing error

anyway we all know the gti's go like a b****** !
