Does anyone have a 0-100 time on an APR chipped Polo GTI ??

With chip (and decent hook up) you should get 6.25 - with a few mods post chip, 5.75 (and lower) is achievable, depending on conditions and how good you are behind the wheel.

Hrm - Red Ps or greens??

times I did would have you all in disbelief, so little point.

think you should all focus your attention on more captivating threads, such as those that discuss air conditioning, fuel consumption

or how to turn off your indicator!

Preferably greens. I understand a green P signifies the car is a "Polo" killer

way too off topic guys...only info on 0-100 times please, am very interested.

honestly, how fast our pog can do isnt important.
whats important is how well it satisfy me overall.
all i know is, its making me happy XD

Come on GT3.

We know you have a fair bit done to your polo.

Im very curious to know exactly how quickly the gtec said you got to 100.

As you mentioned, they can be a little out depending on conditions ie how flat the road is, incline etc.

Ill take a guess to make it easier 5.2?

I've almost broken into the ... sec barrier (haven't specified a time), but it's irrelevant. Taking off from stand still is not the Pog's strong point, we lose a considerable amount of time bc traction is our enemy, ie big torque coming on early through the front wheels in a light car.

As Sharkie and other excitable members have demonstrated, the Pog's strong point is it's mid-range punch, and when it's in that zone, it's difficult (not impossible) to beat. Knowing the car's strengths and weaknesses is the key to using it effectively.

4 sec! What...measured with a G-Tech!? That's voodoo data! But I agree 0-60 is a pointless metric anyway. The Pog's big strength is its passing times, so in-gear times for, say, 60-80 and 80-120 are much more relevant in daily driving. The G-Tech also tends to be less errant in measuring these, too.

The best 'official' metric for standing starts is the 1/4, preferably with a scanned and posted timeslip. I know there are some sub-14's around, and quite a few chipped cars have managed 14's.
