0-100 KMH Figures

[jueshen]

Hi All,

was just wondering what figures u all are pushing out? std or modded pls shed some light.

intrested on upgrading in the months to come, donno if i should start with hardware or software first, i feel its best to do software last so you dont keep on going back for a tune-up after each hardware upgrade

VW quoted standard is 7.2 seconds ... chipped/modded may get get you under 6.0 (there's some dispute about that though).

Quoted stock Polo is actually 8.2 secs but I reckon they have totally underestimated that figure in my opinion.

In APR chipped mode people have been claiming low 6secs and without having timed it myself I'd believe it thats for sure.

[DaveMack]

Quite right Mozz ... VW quote 8.2 ... knew it was something.2 ... but it's getting late ... I'm gonna crash.

I have the Polo Gti brochure and it claims 8.2 seconds 0-100km/h.

I have a Motor magazine that says a stock Polo did 7.8 seconds.

My Polo Gti with APR V1, 2.5 inch dump pipe, 2.5 inch rear muffler, FMIC SEATintake and panel air filter will do high 5's 0-100km/h, I reckon a very low 14 second pass over the quarter mile. Needs ight weather conditions..

Ive timed it myself at 6.19 seconds a few times but without an optimal launch. High 5's definately achievable

my little sister (very light) was in the car one night on the mwy and just using a stopwatch i got ~6.3 and ~6.2 (and another about 6.7, thanks to gravel on the side of the road = wheelspin ). i did this on a colder night quite a few months ago.
so, in the same conditions, maybe a little bit less with just myself in the car. also, i now have a seat intake and panel filter which makes the car feel a bit quicker. maybe aiming in the range of 6-6.2 on a cool night.

Is that to 100 on the speedo? Or actually 100?
coz isnt 100 on our speedos something like 95?

Some mags do 0-100 figures with an extra person in the car and 20L of fuel. Im not sure how VW get their claims either...
So there will be some difference in between all those variables before you even talk about good/bad launches etc.

yeah i kept that in mind but my car has 17's and 40 profile tyres and i called out stop at a little over the 100km/h mark (about 102km/h).

petrina basically same mods as urs and im running 14.3's @ 99mph i still reckon a high 13 is possible with practice

[Petrina Polo]

I agree.. I think a high 13 with great launch is possible.

A Mate of mine in his GEN3 Ute with exhaust gave it full boot off the line and I was behind him.. Basically I had to give him the hurry up.. I would have hit his rear bar if I didnt pull out.. he hit it first too..

well kai got 13.9 with less mods and semi-slicks, so you guys should be in the 13's. not the right time of the year to be aiming for 13's though unfortunately, much too hot.

[jasn78]

yeah but mate u would be amazed how much a diff semi slicks make. my major prob atm is too much power on my tyres so putting semis into the equation is much more useful than pretty much anyother mod

you only need two jason. just grab a second hand pair of el cheapo rims and runs semi's. cost you a few hundred but would last quite a while as you'd only need them for the drags. just say goodbye to your CV joints

[Petrina Polo]

How would we go in a sprint 5km/h to 100km/h (no launch) rolling start from 5km/h...

Would the V8s suddenly get the advantage back from turbo cars where they have to spool up and cant crack the whip with full torque aboard?

I think this is more meaningful measure, slight rolling start as these days who wins 0-100km/h depends on how much you wanna kill your gearbox..

[jueshen]

thanks for the figs guys, i know that it definatley aint 8.2 stock for sure.
im gonna start small ,first de-cat and pd160 intake next weekend if i have time or may b i should wait till i come back from me holiday
