Rolling road day tomorrow
« on: 10 August 2007, 21:09 »
With a crew of local VW owners...a variety of cars will be there, but my Edition 30 will be going on the rollers, along with a new shape Leon Cupra

Will be interesting to see what the two engines are putting out given that they are basically the same versions...will post pics tomorrow and the obligatory posing power/torque outputs ;)

nope...standard with no mods  :smiley:

Very respectable result though of 249hp and 246 lb ft  :cool:...the Leon Cupra went away with 257hp and 226 lb ft...a REVO'd GTI with turbo back exhaust went away with 251hp and 316 lb ft  :shocked:

On the rollers...


One very nice REVO'd GTI with 19" CHs



I want Cupra discs...they are massive compared to the GTI or Edition 30!!

Nice results there :cool:

Don't let the R32 brigade see those results otherwise they will be throwing a paddy and asking VW for their money back :rolleyes: :laugh:

Always nice to see how a car fares on a rolling road.

249bhp - I knew VW always underestimates outputs, but 22bhp is 9% over quoted :shocked:

R32 - 246bhp - 200kg heavier - 4wd transmission losses - I'm not surprised they struggle on a standing quarter against an ED30 :shocked:

All we need to see now is what a chipped ED30 puts out on a rolling road :undecided:

By the way - What petrol were you using?

No Doubt about it i like the figures  :laugh: :laugh:
However, did you ask how / how often they calibrate their rolling road?
