Adam Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) ive been in a gti at 135mph (with 4 in the car).... as far as i know its standard too..?You do know that the speedo in a car can be up to 10% out over 100mph? Even when your doing 80mph on the clock in a gti, a Road Angel indicates you are only doing around 74mph, i can't remember the exact speed though. So 135mph on the clock is about 121mph in reality, if my calculations are correct anyway. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Edited January 3, 2007 by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I sat in my mates 106 XSI was NOT impressed with the build, the seat was rocking around and just felt light and cheap...I spose you are going to tell me that the Lupo GTI has better build quality and finish than that of a Ferrari F430 lol style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt~black Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I always heard the 106 gti had the edge over the lupo gti, but my mates just got a 106 gti including aftermarket manifold, catback exhaust and supposedly cams, we had a little play the other night and we were pretty much even. I know that with these mods the 106 should be ahead, so not sure why he isn't faster, but considering this i'm sure i'm going to at least as quick as a standard 106 gti ?my mate has same mods and i found exact same thing but if push comes to shove the lupo makes him look like a hurst down the twistys lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Litre Screamer Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think this forum needs a name change, call it LUPO WILL BEAT ANYTHING. What the hell is going on with this place, I now know why I no longer come on and post. The lupo is a great little car but its got 125bhp, its by no means slow but come on, it isnt a performance car eater. This is yet another of the cruise type threads that is going to be the demise of the forum that was once a very informative and exciting place to log on to.I await ridiculous replies but hey, i wont be here to read them. Bye Bye Club lupo, i have had enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 as a fellow GTi owner im 100% happy in saying i DONT feel the need to race every other chav on the road! maybe you are trying to make up for the lack in size of a certain something!!i totally agree with what is being said, bring backthe old club lupoSecondedYou know I dont feel the need to race every chav either, and before you tell me I should be cast out for not driving a gti, the only reason I don't is because the sport is all I could afford for the mean-time. The reason I bought it, I want a small car with enough power and handling ability which isnt too common, to put a smile on my face round my favourite country roads, and it does that (arguably - yes there are cars that do it better, but I got a good deal on the sport.) The gti would do it better, but ill buy one when I can afford it.Darren don't worry the old club lupo is still here! come back else i'll tie balloons to your car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm closing this before it gets more out of hand - conversation about performance is obviously welcome, as is debate - but personal insults are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
