Whats quicker? APR Polo Gti or AFM SS VE?

[Petrina Polo]

I now have a AFM VE SS commodore 6spd man but used to own a Polo Gti with APR etc.. I sort of forgot how those little buggers go.

The SS has reasonable grunt but Im wondering which is quicker? Im talking about in gear grunt, rolling acceleration. 80-120km/h, 60-90km/h etc etc. Real world bursts of acceleration. I remember the Polo wasnt too shabby rolling start.

I have timed my VE SS at 80-120km/h 3.4 seconds and 60-90km/h in 2.1 seconds.

Not really sure if you can compare the 2.
They are so different (cost, drivetrain, number of cylinders, engine capacity, number of doors, weight, tyre widths) that any comparrison isn't really valid.

It's like comparing a bugatti veyron with an ariel atom.

VE SS will destroy the Polo in just about every way, with the exception of handling which I would put them at very similar levels of grip from the factory.

The Polo isn't all that quick. ~152kw in ~1200kg is no better than a standard S15 200sx, Astra Turbo, MY99 WRX etc. And of course, once you start modding those other turbo cars with tunes etc. then you see some big power (S15's will do ~190rwkw on the stock turbo with minor bolt on mods) that really does eclipse the little Polo.

Really, you need to compare the Polo to the smaller hot hatches like the XR4, Ralliart Colt, Clio Sport and 206 GTi to really see where it's strengths are. It is by far and away the best all rounder from that segment.

I thought AFM was only on the auto V8s.

What happened to the Boss Hulk?

You should've bought an FG XR6T. (or a BF F6 Typhoon, or even a MY09 wrx - 12 sec 1/4 from the showroom).

In answer to the question, what Break said.

Has Hulk managed to get any Bunnings taps for his Commodore ? Maybe some cut springs ? Chev badge would be the thing to add as well, bit like the 1.8T badge added to a Polo GTI
