Bigfoot Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 sounds about right mate.My old Glanza had a full 5zigen exhaust, induction kit and gutted cat and did 15.2s. Was rr'd at Dastek before the gutted cat at 139.8bhp. Also it had an lsd fitted.My old punto gt turbo also did a 14.6 but it was crazy lol.

foxy Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 You will have to spend a few thousand to get low 14's from a GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 The last thread petered off when somebody asked for a picture of his time slip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 The last thread said 99mph at the 1/4 mile. I maintain that there's no way in hell a GTI can get to 100mph in under 15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_B Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 ^^ agree here too. Anything below 16s in a gti is good going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leweylupo Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 ^^ agree here too. Anything below 16s in a gti is good going.I've run 1/4 miles several times in many modded dubs usually ones that were dubsport built back in the day when Dubsport was a proper company owned by Ian Birch who knows a thing or two about tuning & 1/4 miles 14 seconds is a dream 16's is good going & anything below.Never run the Lupo up the 1/4 mile as would have to spend a fortune on it before I would be happy to do so & IMO Lupo Gti's are best for go cart like handling rather than 1/4 mile racing.I would be genuinley stunned to see 14 secs from a Lupo Gti.Many people talk the talk re 1/4 miles but never do the business when it comes down to it, not just the car it's good re-actions, not missing a gear, & keeping your nerve.All sounds easy but it ain't that easy when you come up against a Skyline at santa Pod the whole world is there watching you, you know you are gonna get creamed but it's just a case of by how much you are about to lanuch & your gear selector goes & you have to be pushed of the start ! painful experience that one LOL Still LMAO at the guy in his 355 Ferrari who i thrashed in a Mk1 Gti at York run what ya brung & when my mate & me & all our camping gear spanked a Rallye Golf up the 0-60 at Peterborough we even filmed him as we did him in a highly modded Mk1.Sadly to old now reactions are slowing but still a blast.
