    GTI 0-100 km/h

    Here's a shameless plug for a video I uploaded today. A very respectable 0-100 time of roughly 5.7 (ish) seconds. It's got me wondering how this is comparable to other owners out there. Anyone else timed an acceleration run?





    EDIT: I should probably mention that I have an APR Stage 1 upgrade and HP intake. It was also ever so slightly downhill, which I guess gave me about a third of a second or so. hooray for gravity!

    Great performance and good use of manual shift...
    I guess that using S mode the time would have been worse...

    When I trimmed the video down to size before uploading it, the editing program gives you the exact time of the video. For example, it was at 49.50 seconds when I started accelerating and I paused it as I hit 100 at 55.13 seconds, giving me a time of 5.63s between the two.

    Keep in mind 100 on the MDI doesn't equal 100 (hence why I always drive on the freeway at a displayed 108kph).

    Nice run though - looks very undramatic from that video.

    Thought I'd have a go in my 1.4TSI Golf as a comparison:

    How about it, aljobar? A repeat in S mode for comparison?

    I'll give it a whirl tomorrow. Think of it as a virtual drag race Personally I dislike the Sport mode. It shifts far too late. The stock turbo runs out of puff if you rev it too high. It's better to shirt up a bit earlier and take advantage of the big torque
