0-100 KMH Figures

[Preen59]

We make best with what we were given

Were you not impressed with the 16v preeny?

My point was even with these mod cons your car still hands it to them. And yes, the car was good.. Shame about the driver!

[DUB 20V]

i strongly disagree but hey, if you say you've done it, then fair enough. i've never a mk2 GTI so i don't know how they perform. the closest thing i've driven power/weight wise would be my last car, the 102kW/194Nm/1050kg Peugeot 206 GTi 2.0 16v.... and that was definitely not quicker than my GTI as stock. they're quoted at 8.3sec 0-100 but it was definitely faster than that (timed several times).

im with you i doubt a mk2 16v would beat a 16v turbo and yeah i have driven both.

20v turbo you mean, less than 3 years old.

the 19 year old 2 GTI will have lost a significant amount of power as well, no way it still has the factory performance figures.....and it's about as aerodynamic as a concrete block.

[RhysQ]

Are you dissagreeing my old car is not quicker than a std gti or a chipped one?

I don't know but I'd reckon a 206 is a little heavier than that too.

absolutely, i don't think there's any way your mk2 GTI is quicker than a stock polo GTI, let alone a chipped one.

206's are VERY light...i really noticed the difference in weight (cornering etc.) when i got in the Polo GTI. The peugeot users manual had 1050kg.

ha ha yeah cos a bog stocker has a massif 110kw! Nice one 16v turbo??

lol, it's a detuned engine....for good reason, market segmentation. they're not going to boost it up and bring it out to be quicker than the golf GTI now are they.

a simple ECU reflash and there you go, instant 40kW.... and the engine still is far from straining.

[RhysQ]

Ha ha it's a lot lighter and has a better power to weight ratio........

Quick get the kwackulator!

are you forgetting torque??

in small hatchbacks, torque is a BIG DEAL and makes a huge difference.

anyways, it's been fun, i'm off to bed...cheers

bru, ive diced a few Golf 2 GTI 16V, and i have killed them, we have lots of dem down here and most of them are not standard!

and also giving that i weigh around 124 Kg's i'd say the polo performs awesome compared to most other perrformance cars

[jueshen]

local slang down here, anyway is just started this thread to get figures. my intention was not to upset anyone driving a +10 year old golf, which body is probably gonna pull away from its chasis soon

well im too far away from melborn to show u how its done, so anybody wanna got meet ausgolfer and put this thing to rest

[DaveMack]

You say you doubt a chip give the Polo 50 extra horses. Standard at the wheel figures for all I've seen dynoed is approx. 88 KW (117.33 Horses) whereas average JUST chipped comes out at approx. 121 KW (160 Horses) ... not 50 extra I grant you ... but 43 ain't too bad for no extra weight in the car and I seriously doubt your MK II could stay with someone (capable) in a chipped Polo if they actually knew you were taking them on.

She tee'd up the race..... and acknowledged the even start.... but in the point of your original post and to avoid any further arguing which you yourself have now added to hypocritically, I'll clean out my posts.

[jueshen]

hey hey no need to clean out threads, we all adults here and have gotten carried away, lets just put this thing behind us, any1 would be offensive about their cars, and we know what our own cars can do so lets just keep it to ourselves and surprise the next person at the robot

im off home now, work is done for the day, catch up 2mor

are you guys doing 0-100 when the speedo reads 100kph or by gps? cause the speedo is 10% +/- .

[RhysQ]

Like to see a stock Polo GTI and a stock VR6 battle it out, could be close... now if only there was such thing as a stock Polo GTI.

i would say the VR6 would win against a stock Polo GTI, but not against a chipped one. not sure of 0-100 for them but i'd imagine a 2.8L 6cyl in a similar size car will knock a 1.8T 4cyl.

it CAN be up to 10% +/-. with mine, as mentioned before, i've got 17' wheels and 40 profile tyres which pulls it back into line a bit more. for me, i call 100km/h at 102.

Rhys: I've had mine tested on a dyno (17s with 40 profile) and when the speedo said 100 I was doing 92. Still 8% out.

yeah i haven't tested it on a dyno but i have tested on the motorway next to a friends work car (ex-police vehicle). i was doing spot on 100 (cuise control set and watching it) when he was doing 97-98. unless his is way out as well, mine seems to be pretty good. will have to test it next dyno day to find out for sure.

i just assumed mine was more in-line because of the wheels/tyres.
