So here's why I love my car

[gtigrl]

Very late last night on the freeway, got the Mr's XR5 with mods running next to my GTI (APR'd) both in 3rd gear going the same speed... approx 60km/hr starting point, lets see who pulls harder (crude test but fun) .... GTI won hands down big smile on my face... Mr slightly grumpy

Well done! Thought they would be about the same, i guess the polo is lighter.

Mine pulled 2 cars in 2nd gear from an 3.2lt M3 a few weeks ago, but he pulled me in at the end of 3rd

they both sound like interesting contests thats a heads up to an awesome engine!

oh wow, he must've felt jipped! lol

i also had some fun with my friends Jap spec s15 with 180kw (no i don't condone street racing, but when i first got the car i was foolish and naive ) in 2nd gear and i got a car length ahead - then on 3rd gear i was pulling and i'm not talking BS!

Just wanna prove that the APR'd polo's have some serious potential! very surprised...

does anyone have figures in regards to how fast a apr'ed polo is quater mile and 0-100???

would love to know!

i did a test on my stock polo gti 0-100 and i got under 7.5secs

i did a test on my stock polo

How did you test.

[saba]

stop watch

i did a test on my stock polo gti 0-100 and i got under 7.5secs

Only problem is, that while 0 is 0 on the Pog's speedo, 100 ain't 100...more like 93 or 94, according to my GPS

IMHO, a better test of relative gains (short of a dyno or 1/4 mile times -- each of which has its detractors ) is to test rolling acceleration between a stock and a modded car.

On a closed road and in safe conditions, of course:

indicated 60 to indicated 90 -- 3rd gear
indicated 70 to indicated 100 -- 4th gear
indicated 80 to indicated 120 -- 5th gear
