matt_arosa16v Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 mmm have to say don't think I could do it in much under 10s in my Arosa 1.4 16v (100bhp) w/ PiperX Induction kit. Not tested properly though - some of my m8s have slow reactions using the stopwatch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Don't forget that:a) The VW times are `0-62`, not `0-60` style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> The speedo error means that you need to be seeing in the region of `67-69mph` to be actually doing 62mph.

Snoopy Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yeah, the top speeds are rubbish - my Polo 75bhp was quoted a top speed of 106mph, and I had it up to an indicated 127mph.Once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 slightly off topic but what do the rev counters in the sport and the gti go up to and where is the "redline"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Erm... the GTI danger area starts around 6800 rpm, no idea where the limiter comes in tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 i think those book figures are rubbish, mine has read 130 on the speedo (not in the red) and Im sure it can manage `0-60` in under 10 sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 limiter on a gti is about 7100 no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
