I'm sure your new toy is lovely, I'm still happy with the Polo.

Rolling 80-120km/h is a relevant figure which can often be compared regardless of configuration.
My money is that my polo will destroy common SS V8s, and also some HSVs (auto). That's 80-120km over take time. I believe well tuned Polo GTIs making around 140kw + at wheels will be able to 80-120km/h around 3 sec bang on. This is on dry with no wheel spin.
My car with REVO Stage 2 - I believe should produce close to 145kw or over at wheels.
New HSV on automatic had 3.2 sec in NZ Autocar magazine - and I think Petrina your 3.2 probably is slightly optimistic. Obviously magazine measurements will be different, pending on location, angle of road, temperature, height, etc etc.
Golf R does about 3.4-3.5 sec from my memory, and I believe well tuned Polo GTI will be faster from 80-120km/h.
06 Polo GTI - REVO Stage 2 = 140kw @ wheels.
06 Golf GTI - Bluefin Stage 1 blacked out with ED30 theme, leather, xenon, etc.
Hahaha, the SS by a considerable margin.
You might catch the SS out on reaction time and just about nothing else.

Take them to the track...
NATSOFT Race Result
Note that the F360 that's listed just above the Polo on that page is actually a Walkinshaw W427 as the guy's 360 broke down on the way to the track. If that's all they can get out of that beast than the Polo should have no problem against an SS...

Honestly, who the **** cares?? I have a Polo just because I like it, and it is a fun car to drive. It suits what I want in a car, and for what I want to do. I don't have a family to ship around in it, and if I need the space to put something big in the car, I just drop the seats. I have humbled many a Commodore or falcon in the windy stuff, and for me that matters.
Drive the car you want, don't have a car, bag it out on a forum, sell it with its dodgy mods (cut springs, Bunnings water tap, etc), buy another, then another, all the time coming back to the same forum and regretting the car you bagged out in the first place.
Fcuk off Petrina, and go troll somewhere else, we don't want you here. If Boost doesn't want you, you have no hope!!

Dare I ask, what this water tap "mod" was all about? LOL
