Stig's Lap Times in the VW Golf

[Hurdy]

well if thats true, isnt it pointless getting 300 bhp, if the car cant put it on the road. Hurdys car is a classic case, i really dont think that you will better your time of sub 14 seconds and 5.66 to 60.
If what stig says is right, 200hp is the maxium you can put through the front wheels with the VW. hense why it stands up so well against more powerfull rivals like the vxr and sanitary towel,sorry ST

I'll lay odds I beat both (weather permitting!)

Hurdy i take it you've also got boxes full of old magazines in your cupboard.

They won't all fit in my cupboard :embarassed: The study is full of them

If you came for a passenger ride with me in Derbyshire you wouldn't say that

I must say that I totally disagree with the stig about the Type R. It is fidgety, noisy as hell at full chat and is nowhere near as fast on the open road unless you want to be deaf and permanently run it in the top 2000rpm of the rev range. Anything less than full attack mode and the car is as flat as a wet lettuce after a rainstorm

But thats the whole point of the type-r.... manic revs. You can't expect to drive it like you would in turbo-ed hatches. The Chassis might be sh*t but i think the engine is great.. must be a marmite engine i guess.

Doh have they done the performance day then Hurdy?

I actually have the edition....bought this issue when i was deciding for a car after I smashed my clio....it had to be a hatch and coincidently this issue came out with lots of hatch tests cause of the new type r. Was deffinatley a good read and absolutely convinced me to get a Megane R26 but some how....i got a GTI...which i was more than happy with....
