Stage 3 GTI
« on: 05 December 2007, 22:30 »
On my visit to Awesome I briefly spoke to Dean and the GTI that narrowly beat me at Inters this year on the 1/4 mile looks like it will be a little harder to catch next year. He said that it will be at stage 3 next year. Which will mean that it will be pushing out..........

Wait for it........



400bhp!!!


 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

It will be interesting to see how the DSG which is fitted to it will cope :undecided:

Anyone fancy 400bhp through the front wheels?

It's all APR gear including a new exhaust manifold, garrett turbo, APR fueling components, cast intake, exhaust plumbing, silicon hoses, 3inch exhaust system and uprated intercooler, which equals. LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY!

Mine is more than enough power through the front wheels. I can't begin to imagine what another 100+bhp would be like!

i doubt the 400bhp will be transfered to the road.


                                     (Wheel Spin + Wheel Hopping)
Front Wheel Drive =  -----------------------------
                                              (Y + Torque Steer)

Y = 400BHP

Therefore :

                                     (Wheel Spin + Wheel Hopping)
Front Wheel Drive =  ----------------------------- = X
                                         (400BHP + Torque Steer)



X = Bad Idea to the n'th power

400Bhp through the front wheels!!! thats just crazy talk dude!!

why bother?? Why not just do it to a car which is going to be able to handle the power? If you really want a car that just travels in straight line go buy a VXR...

Some people are just plain stoopid.. but i guess if thats what floats your boat, then fair enough. Just a very expensive was of floating it.. considering you can now just fly with easyjet for peanuts :rolleyes: (not to mention the resale value :huh:)

meaningless, totally bonkers. 400hp in FWD, you will never get to use them. And engine lifespan will definitely not benefit....

Astra OPC has torque steer. But it handles fine. And it is fast. And they put it in racing this year.
You are so cathegorical, I noticed, it's all black and white for you. I was like that, too, when I was a teenager....  :lipsrsealed:

I just looked, and you are 27?!  :lipsrsealed:

There's already a 400bhp APR Golf and from all the reviews I've read it is a very capable car
