What do you make of this? (0-100)

[BLN355]

Did some 0-100 runs this arvo, finally managed to get a reasonable launch with minimal wheel spin. Looks to be about 5.5-5.7 seconds. What do you think?

Mods:
APR stage 1 tune
HP CAI
Middle resi delete

Totally unrelated... but I reckon you bought your car through barloworld mascot around sept 2009??
Judging by the rego number??
My mate bought his then ,and is only a few numbers off yours!

I didnt think the Polo GTI was even available in 2009. I think the rego is something personal (his initials etc)

[BLN355]

Im confused, what rego number? lol.
Bought the GTI last year new (no plates) from VIC and had it delivered then got custom plates.

Your time of 5.5-5.7 seconds from 0-100kph is about what i was getting in a manual Golf R with stage 1 tune, intake and downpipe.

So the Polo is getting a move on!

[BLN355]

Yeah i reckon its pretty quick. I'd never even thought about testing it until i came across another GTI owner on youtube claiming 5.6 second 0-100 in his. He has exactly the same mods too (APR stage 1, CAI and resi removed).
He did a 13.65 @ 101mph too, not bad for a basically stock pogo

Man that's awesome! Can't wait to get the Viezu tune + CAI to see how it compares.

And I can't wait until you get it so I can ride in it and feel the difference to stock! And then save after my holiday to get one...

Very quick time! That is a drop of around 1.3s, really good!!!!

[BLN355]

Took about 10 try's on different roads to get it to launch without too much wheel spin. Can't wait to get some sticky rubber and see what it can do with a few revs on board and launching (handbrake launch)

Ahhh, so the trick to a good launch is to stage it using the handbrake?

[nomadx38]

It's better than nothing but don't expect the clutches to last long. Also they will automatically disengage if you hold it for too long. These clutches open for protection after it gets to 168 degrees (or 180? I'm not exactly sure) either way i woundn't do it often. It will only work with the handbrake, if you use the foot brake you will get a massive delay between the brake disengaging and the clutches engaging...

handbrake launch... yer that would definately be a quicker launch than the 1-2sec delay going from brake to accelerator.
How many revs will the handbrake hold before she eases forward?
