MK4 or MK5 down the 1/4

**VWEAPN** · 20-02-2008, 09:07 PM

a very general question - how do all our chipped MK4's compare to a standard MK5 down the 1/4 mile. Im sure they would be side by side.

Well a Chipped mk5 did 13.7 with a TB CAI, I think that a chipped mk4 would be about low 15s high 14s.

It was DSG too which helps.

Chipped MK4 would do a high 14 at best.

Yeah true Sean, any idea what your Polo would get I reckon that some 13.7 mark if not better?

What about R32s? I still haven't taken mine to the track, should happen next sunday. I heard that stock R32 should do low 14s. Is that right?

Speak to Stan (thepowercosmic) but his one was low 14s I I thinkbut best to ask him.

haha I wish. In theory yes it probably could with a great driver.

I'm not a great drag racer and don't have much inspiration to go fast for 400m.

I went a while ago and only got 14.6. I just couldn't get traction in 1st or 2nd. 2.6 60 footers suck.

The drags is all about the start not how fast your going hence the advantage of DSG.

I might have another go once Seb has given it an injection.
