    well if you spend 1, 2, 3, 4k on you polo and 1, 2, 3, 4k on the V8 the V8 will still win .
    What about if you spend 50k on a Polo (inlcuding buying it and whatever you can afford) and 50k on a V8 (including buying and modifying it as much as you can for the money) then the Polo will win.

    The fact is, they aren't equal, but in the case of Bang for your Buck... a chipped Polo GTI will beat a V8 and you'll have 20k+ left over to hire the hookers with regrowth that you'd pick up for free in a V8.

    Not neccessarily .... Until the latest Motor magazine with the latest FPV V8 test, no Ford V8 had ever tested under 6s 0-100km and under 14s quarter.

    Kai's Polo does a 13.9 with max $5K spent on it. (timeslip has been provided)

    Motor tested a supercharged XR8 last year ($8K) that was actually slower than the standard car ..... 6.5s and 14.5s respectively.

    So in that scenario the $5K modded Polo is actually quicker than a $8K modded (supercharged 400kw no less) XR8 ..... at less than half the initial outlay....

    BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ......

    Everybody know a std Polo GTI is no match for even a base Commodore/Falcon.

    I think the intention to the question actually was, how much do I need to spend on my Polo to match Aussie V8s.

    The answer to that is a simple as $1500 on a chip.....

    Very fair comment but that could just bring into play the the person with the Gti put his money to better use than the clown with the XR8,

    this could go on for ever and a day

    I do support Vee Dub and each commodore or falcon that is beaten by a Polo is one less out there that show that V8's are a thing of the past.

    I agree, well it may need a little more that a chip but no more the 3k cold air intake, chip and cat back will have a polo gti sticking it to the V8's

    Does it really matter?

    The way i see it, you shouldn't be worried about who has the biggest and best penis extension. And to be honest, that's what this sounds like.

    Sure, it's fun to improve your car, but who really cares whether it's faster than a GM V8?

    If you like V8s, buy a V8. If you like hot hatches, buy a hot hatch. Sure a commodore or monaro or XR8/FPV is more expensive, but IT'S A BIGGER CAR! So of course it costs more.

    And you guys aren't drag racing, you're street racing. Don't get to two confused. It gives drag racers a bad name.

    I haven't said this to start an argument, but it's something to think about..

    And on that note ... before anyone actually incriminates themselves ... lets just say that a chipped Pog will mow down much before it and close the thread.
