Mk6 Golf Acceleration & Performance Data

5.2 seconds for Golf R?? I thought i read in the mags and other stats that the quoted figure for the Golf R was 5.6 seconds??? am i misreading something here? I know the GTECH Pro is pretty accurate.

How do you know my cars in the hot tuner challenge? i sorta been keeping it quiet im sure the results will be very interesting if you're entering that stage 3 monster of yours... and i think there will be very few cars in the category which will even come close to your car

C'mon Robby,when are you going to learn?
We know EVERYTHING!!!
See you at the Tuner Challenge.

latest motor mag had 0-100 as 6.3 sec vs EVo at 6.1 sec so not close to 5.6 sec.

That'd have to be a manual right? If not, I think they need to read the owners manual on how to use the DSG properly. Even on a wet B road, Autocar managed to get a DSG R to do 5.7 on 3 consecutive attempts in their manual vs DSG comparo video.

now that sounds pretty close to manufacturer claims.

for a Golf R to get 4.68sec for the 0-100km/h with just a stage 1 tune is sounding quite unusually quick... considering motor magazine last year.. in their hot tuner shoot out.. had 2 modified 335i twin turbo and they were pumping out 300kw+ and 500Nm and they only managed 4.8 seconds for the sprint from memory.

granted they are slightly heavier cars.. by only 150kilo but their power/torque advantage would have negated that...

so im struggling to understand how a golf r can achieve that. dont get me wrong they are great cars and have massive potential to modify... but 4.68 with just a stage 1 tune im willing to bet is not repeatable.. or theres more to it.

August issue of Motor has a Golf R/Evo X comparison.
Golf R ran 0-100 in 5.37[DSG]
Hot Tuner will run over three issues,as there are three classes,and too many cars for one issue!
Yeah Robby I''ll see you in about 4 weeks at Eastern Creek.

surely the 335i being a RWD and the R being 4WD gives the R an advantage on take off?

especially when there is that much torque being pumped out.

At the bottom of the article it shows some stats. The Rothe tune looks to have achieved 4.3 second 0-100 km/h and a 12.62 second 1/4 mile.
