not too sure about the Golf MKV GTI, you'll have to check with the boys in the MKV section for that one. and also, isn't the stock 0-100km/h claimed at 7.2 for the MKV GTI.

8.3 seconds......geez, that would seem like a lifetime.

in reality its not that bad compared to majority of cars on the road, but for $1,500, why not cut a few seconds off that and be a lot better than not that bad

Golf MKV ... I've seen reports from 5.9-6.1s for the 0-100km/h dash.

One important thing that a lot of people seem to forget is rpm . At what rpm is peak torque and peak power . You'll find cars like the honda s2000 have peak torque around 5000 rpm and peak power around 8000 rpm . Without the right gear ratio's it could take forever to get there , where as VW has always had peak torque fairly low and fairly flat ( 2000-4000 rpm ) , and power fairly low as well (around 6000) .

As for racing against v8's and Jap cars , if you ever go to the drags you'll notice most are running 11's and 12's , so you dont stand a chance in the top end , but you may get the 0-60 or even 0-100 if you catch them napping . Anyone got some timeslips of a chipped polo they can post up ?

Should be interesting to see.

As standard yes,

for those of you that have a chipped polo, can you make any remarks on the actual noise of the chipped polo?

i.e. did chipping the polo change the sound of the exhaust note or anything else? (spooling etc)

cheers!
