Mk6 Golf Acceleration & Performance Data

[REXman]

I should add that the staging/time to go from a green light etc is not counted against you on the casual nights. They only subtract time on pro meets.

But yep, another night, a cold night, and a couple more runs youcould see a 13.4..

[Corey_R]

Yeah.... I know re the staging time... but still, I want to beat them to the damn line damn it! hehe
Yeah - it was very muggy tonight, I'd be sweating by the time I got my helmet off and rolled my sleeves up after the run.

Oh, and for those who were wondering, you can disable the LED DRL's on the R so that the drag officials don't get upset at you! (thanks Sammy125TDi !!)

a) HOW!!
b) don't they like em on?

[Corey_R]

a) Start with the car off, lights off (0), indicators off etc. Turn the key to on (but don't turn on the engine). Pull the indicator stalk back (so high beams come on) and then push the indicator stalk down (left). Wait 3 seconds and it'll beep and the DRL's go off. Note that the "pull back" and then down is a single motion (i.e. so you end up pulling back and pushing down at the same time). To turn them back on, start again from scratch, but then push up (idicate right).
b) Nope. On the road back to the start they make you to 20km/h and turn off your headlights. They stopped me to tell me to turn off my fog lights, to which I responded they are DRL's. They were then "oh right, European car aye!. But then Sammy125TDi helped me out cause he figured why they had pulled me over! I guess it's so it's not a distraction to the guys currently doing their run or something.

Nice one!

Thanks man, and thanks Sammy125TDI!

Is there not also an option in the MFD? I'm sure I saw one there... Under Lights & Vision.

Hey Corey pretty good time given the shyte conditions and first run mate....nice work..

[REXman]

Hey Corey forgot to ask.. What mph at he finish line?

[Fab_R]

Nope, no option there to turn on or off the DRL's.

Hey Corey forgot to ask.. What mph at he finish line?

99.27mph
I can get a higher speed by stuffing up the start though

And what did Gtech read?

Unfortunately my GTech wouldn't power on! The light on the cigarette light attachment doesn't turn on either, so I think maybe the power cable is dead. I was rather disappointed about that. I'll have to trouble shoot it so that when I got back at some point with Stage II, I can also use the GTech.
