And it seems a stock DSG Golf MK5 GTI will do it in .... 8min52s....
Maybe its time to trade up to a 3dr Mk5 GTI .....
I've found an interesting article about a German magazine testing a Polo GTI at the Nurburgring......
http://www.autobild.de/artikel/nords...th_319094.html
It seems they compared a stock Pogo against a G55 AMG.... In a straight line the G55 absolutely kills the Pogo. 0-200km/h 24.8s v 42.1s...
However around the track the Polo stepped up to the plate....
9min46.2s v 11min27.5s to the Pogo ....
Interestingly though a Ford Transit van (stock but slightly lightened) will do it in 10min08s in the hands of a proper driver.......

With the track being 20km long, 54 seconds behind the Golf GTI isn't that bad considering its quicker and has far superior suspension.
Nice find btw.
And lets not forget, Johan ... your Pogo is hardly standard.

yeah it's sort of hard to compare my Polo to other cars. you read all these articles on Polo Vs .... and the Polo did this etc. but thats the standard Polo GTI, so to most of us on here that doesn't really mean anything. i would really like to see a chipped Polo GTI have a dust around the Nurburgring or Tsukuba, just so i can get some sort of comparison. but then again, different driver experience and styles....too many discrepancies.

I'd love to take Eddy's little blue beast around the 'Ring' to try it out. (KWs coilovers, all of Guy's hot goodies from his racing Polo, lowered and big fat front sway bar ... sticks to the road and corners considerably faster than mine.)

Isn't the Ford Van driven by a female course caretaker? I remember seeing a TV show where she beat someone in a 911 using the Transit.
