Seriously though, 0-60 is a totally inadequate benchmark to compare cars in real world situations, and has started far too many pointless debates around here. Yes we all know VW are conservative with thier printed figures, and we all know that some 8v's are faster than others (some 8v's are faster than some 16v's Ed/Mark   ). If people feel their car is faster than book, fine.. but  those same people should stay hush until they have real timed figures with accurate timing gear, and not "i was counting the cd player display.."

lol ......................

your not coming at me are you?

sounds like your getting shirty?

there is no need!

0-60 is the old skool way to test performance, some people stand by it, some dont.

it is a pretty good way to test how fast your car is
i agree, in real world situations it is inadequote, but im jus talkin bout 0-60 times, ok?

nah mate, i dont do shirty, just trying to save everyone having to witness another 22 page dispute of guesstimated 0-60 posts  
its enough to make you want to buy a corsa
