Tigz™ Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have an Arosa that completely wipes out a Lupo GTI....infact wipes out anything with GTI on the back.On the Motorway perhaps.But I'd tackle you at Santa Pod in my Luxurious Polo GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kia pride could wipe out a GTI if you changed its engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing petrol under 200bhp stands a chance...its all about the torque.oh yeah...it still does 55mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing petrol under 200bhp stands a chance...its all about the torque.We'll see, come and test out your theory this year If its all about the tourque why can't a tuned 115hp 1.4TDI beat a 100bhp 1.4 petrol?

Nothing petrol under 200bhp stands a chance...its all about the torque.oh yeah...it still does 55mpg.I disagree, whilst your mid range must be epic. Unless your car is 4wd you will not be able to use all the power until probably late in 3rd gear, a re-maped VRS with similar power to yours spins the wheels up all through 2nd in the dry under full throttle and has bigger wheels and weighs a substantial amount more than your motor.Mpg is for fairy's I wait to see the 1/4 mile times, if there sub 15 if be surprised.

Tigz™ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I wait to see the 1/4 mile times, if there sub 15 if be surprised.My guess would be standard Lupo GTI times of 16.0 seconds (official timing gear of course!) VR6 Golfs with a little more power than the oil burner, and simular levels of torque struggles to beat that.The result - was it worth it? Yes, absolutly. Although the 0-60 time is not as good as a Gti´s, its the in gear acceleration thats the most impressive. No matter what speed or what gear the car is in or how steep the hill is, the car accelerates. The 0-60 time would be better, but the car has so much torque that the small diameter wheels struggle to put the power down. Under hard acceleration the car will spin its wheels in 3rd gear. In the Golf this problem is lessened because there is more weight o hold the car down and the wheels are a larger diameter.I have to say though, I'd bet its rapid on the move!

simpo Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Don't doubt its rapid on the move, my friend with the VRS used to loose me if I was out of gear. Times prove the fact torque isn't everything as CTR's have none of it and frequently do 15's or slightly under as standard. This is what I was basing my theory on, sure in the real world 30-80 etc, the motor is going to be very quick but traction issues and a narrow power band, means it probably isn't going to be that quick at 1/4 miles or track days.Still a very impressive sleeper.

Tigz™ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 That was the GTI!The Sport was standard at the time.Later had cams, headwork and remap.He used to race it, was pretty quick by the time it died.The GTI is actually Toms car now!

Defcon5 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Are you saying the torque was too much for the clutch? I cant see that happening on a standard car.Plus you cant compare two cars on a public road, there are too many variables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im on the lights and someones game ill start in 2nd gear, sometimes doesnt spin if on a good surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see that happening on a standard car.Plus you cant compare two cars on a public road, there are too many variablesim not saying the standard torque is too much for the clutch, im saying theres 81k on the clock and the clutch started slipping, turns out the previous owner killed the clutch and me racing my mate finished it off. rev counter shot up to redline in 3rd, 4th , 5th and 6th then the lovely burning clutch smell and no drive....Golf GTi petrol 150bhp 152lb/ft Torque Golf GTi Diesil 150bhp 263lb/ft Torque if you know how to make a diesil shift off the mark then you can get away quite nicely dont get me wrong, i love petrol but on that instance the diesil won by a half cars length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I still don't believe it.My mates had a 150 bhp 20v mk4 and a 150 bhp Anniversary Oil chugger.The petrol was much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
