Well least he is man enough to own up to it. even though id say there is no chance in the world i would beat a BA XR8.

A win is a win though! An XR8 has more power than the GTI but all that counts for nothing if he doesnt get a good start in a traffic light GP! Kudos to the GTI driver for getting his launch right.

an APR'd Polo would have a good chance of floggin an BA XR8?!

If a short race yes, the Polo would get ahead quickly. If its a lengthy race say on a track, eventually the Boss V8 would reel in the GTI. But yeah flashed Polo's would surprise alot of cars out there.

Hoyhoy.
Actually the XR8 has to have some work done to it, to even keep up with a flash Polo. Thats in the 1/4.

motor mag quotes xr8 as running a 13.9???? They do there own testing. And wheels quote it as 14.3 so who knows who to believe.

Well I was reading 1/4 mile figures from of a couple blokes on the ford forum via a link from here just recently, xr8 times were the same as mine [flashed] after they done a bit to them.

i had a "run" with a vp gts a while back....it was a rolling start and we were neck and neck. If it wasnt a rolling start i think chopped him off take off...

You could tell he was pissed off about it too...
