Polo Track Times

[aljobar]

Hi guys. I thought it might be an idea to start a thread where we can show off our lap/¼ mile times from track days etc.

I went to the Test n' Tune drags at Willowbank last night and did 6 runs:

1. 15.048 @ 150.78
2: 15.141 @ 150.05
3: 15.077 @ 149.94
4: 14.430 @ 154.02 (!!!)
5: 14.573 @ 152.00
6: 14.634 @ 153.56

It was the first time I've been out and had an absolute blast. It was so much fun playing with different settings and learning which way of shifting works best.

Let us know how you've done!

P.s If this becomes popular it might be and idea to sticky the thread

I went and did my first 1/4 mile last month. Got a 13.9@ 101mph

Damn they are impressive times

Damn they are impressive times

Keep in mind that I have the APR stage 1. I beat a new (turbo) Mini JCW not once, but twice!! It was sooo funny listening to his excuses: "grumble grumble damn traction control mumble mumble missed shift mutter mutter turbo lag"

Not a drag but as stock standard in the second week of ownership, my GTI pulled a 0-100 time of 6.5 secs?!?! That's 0.4 quicker than is factory quoted and I didn't believe it until I saw the data!

Managed to find the time to head out again. Set a new PB of 13.65 @ 163km/h. Love the little beasty!!

Nice time! Have you done anything else in the way of mods other than the tune?

[Blade]

Have a read of this if you have time, great build thread. Heading for low 13,s or high 12,s if he keeps it long enough.

Hurdy's Polo GTI..time for a new project!!

might be an idea to list mods or stock with times

Any other mods? Cooler/turbo back exhaust etc?

What are the standard 1/4 mile times in these things? Might have to get out to WSID and have a few runs myself

[BLN355]

Anyone else got times from the track? Surely more of you boys have had your Polo's out for a run?

I did a 1.10.7 @ Wakefield in our little Polo GTI at the VW Nationals.

That's quite fast!

It was my first drive of the Polo on the circuit - a little more work and I reckon she would drop into the 1:09's very nimble, you can feel the weight advantage compared to a golf through the top sections & fish hook, corner speed is excellent.
