Our Golf GTI Stage 3+ build thread - WORLDS FASTEST

[grandturismo]

I'm pretty sure Mark thought he had an 11.3 in him. Damn driveshaft!!!

[Guy_H]

You are right Alan - bit harder than he thought

[Deadpool]

Holy **** that's quick!

[Lucas_R]

Congratulations guys - thats damn fast. Shame about the driveshaft but i guess it was never meant to handle that level of power.

[Guy_H]

Thanks Lucas - It's all a learning curve - it was axle tramp that ultimately killed the driveshaft!

OK - I'm not sure how to edit the title of the thread, but the little GTI on Wednesday night became the WORLDS FASTEST, laying down a 10.992 second 1/4 mile at over 133mph - fastest ever MPH by over 4mph.

Vehicle specs:

Off the shelf APR Stage 3+ kit, including APR Intercooler, APR OPS system, APR HPFP, APR RSC Exhaust.
Stock engine with APR pistons & APR Rods

SSP Clutch packs in the DSG
Harding Performance DSG Software

Modifications for the drags from its street legal trim:

Removal of the passenger seats & spare tyre
Fitting drag slicks (15")
Removal of catback exhaust

The fuel ran was Sunoco GT260+, and unleaded "race" fuel that is compatible with street cars & catalytic converters.

There is no boost controllers, there is no water or methanol injection.

The vehicle runs stock VW boost control & sensors, the vehicle also runs the stock diverter valve and is a daily driven car.

This vehicle was built entirely in our workshop in Coorparoo, and was calibrated in house by our tech's with the assistance of APR's technical team.

This car (in street trim) is completely legal & modification certified.

Awesome job Guy !

Not much more to prove on the Mk6 now is there ......

BTW, betting a certain APR Tiguan will beat this time in the not too distant future

Well done Guy!

[Guy_H]

Thanks gent's - it certainly is "fun" on those tyres at 215kmph - gets your attention levels up

Sharkie, James & I were testing the Tiguan's launch control on Wednesday night - it hurts your chest, so it should be a lot of fun!

Nice one Guy! Go APR!!
