Quick Polo GTI

[Bubu]

anyway, the fastest 0-100 time for a stock Polo GTI i have come across is 7.8s (Motor Magazine - Bang for Your Buck). turbomier claims 6.5s 'full stock'. it's hard to think how he can shave more than a second off the Motor time. he also claims 250Nm, but stock is 220Nm. this doesn't make sense, unless his car has come out of the factory with a genetic mutation (or unless VW are understating the GTI's ability yet again).

Maybe it was a Polo Cup?

There is absolutely no way in this world that this car is stock... I don’t believe it for a second! It’s been chipped and he has done lots of other work to it. Definitely has LSD maybe a bigger turbo kit. No way a stock Polo GTI can take on an R32 or even a WRX not even if Schumacher was driving it..

The way it takes off would suggest LSD, suspension setup designed specifically for dragging and more HP.

Doesn't look like a 'Cup' ... and can't think why anyone would deliberately transform a Cup into a std GTI just to pose as a 'sleeper'.

Especially when the only difference is a tune when you take the body kit and wheels off. And it's not as good as a 3rd party tune as well.

i thought he was going to say "does anyone know how to remove the side mirrors so i can reduce the weight of my car to make it faster in a sprint". i was about to start laughing...

I thought he wanted to reduce drag

edit: just remembered its only 150m.. not a quarter mile. I believe that its stock.

[VW GTI]

He didn't stay with or pull away from a 911... he beat it's start and then it swamped him.

[archangel_7]

He definitely gave the 911 a run for its money! therefore... it can't be stock! otherwise we all pretty much wasted our money getting it chipped!

Look outside the square...

He admitted to removing the back seat to shave off 30kg... What else did he remove to shave off some kg... How many of those winks did he throw into his response.. either hes a little queer or he was suggesting to read into his comments a little more.

I reckon by looking at the photo of him, hes also removed his ribs and knocked half his teeth out to shave off another 30kg and according to him .2 seconds..

Even Volkswagon claim 8.2 seconds 0-100km/h in their brochure.. How does he anniliate their time by 1.7 seconds..

My APR Polo would be lucky to do 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds.. Would VW even release a car that is less than half price that beats its own flagship R32?? (Stock)
