Golf R Observations and Questions

[Mr_Bob]

Just a Q about how the G-Tech works.
My understanding is that it's triggered by movement?
If so, the initial DSG launch delay would not be factored?

Either way, that's only a small delay and these would still be under 5sec!

But even in a proper drag race, the lights go green, and if you actually WAITED for the lights to go green before you went through the motions to take off, you'll lose the race... so the pro drag racing guys are attempting to pre-empt the green to remove their reaction time and any reaction time that the car needs. So in a drag race, you'd be doing that and taking into account (the now rather short with the R) delay in the DSG...

I just completed two runs.

I will take a pic of the G-Tech runs shortly and post them up.

I could not believe the results but they are why they are.

1st run with launch control at 3000rpm:
4.68
2nd run with launch control and 2500rpm:
4.88

1/4 tank of fuel and no passengers.

What a car. Very happy!!!
Pics to follow of G-Tech.

FLM just has the APR Stage I ECU

FLM just has the APR Stage I ECU

Any supporting upgrades i.e. sticky tyres, weight reduction etc other than the 1/4 tank of fuel?

[Prodigy]

They are some amazing times FLM

Anyone have an idea of what 1/4 mile times an R should run?

No, as per this post FLM has stated that the only thing he has done is the APR Stage I ECU update.

Almost sounds like trying to discredit him? Sticky tyres, its a bloody AWD lol? And I can't see someone ripping out the passenger seat for a G-tech run on a new car?

team_v Totally standard, no sticky tyres, no weight reduction - all stock set up other than the APR Stage 1 tune.
Also a cold Melbourne morning 5 deg....

Hey Dave- yea i knew it would happen....not fussed....AWD doesnt need any more help, it just hooks up, no wheel spin etc....
And yeah, im not going to use weight reduction measures...its my daily driver lol.
