Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Well least he is man enough to own up to it. even though id say there is no chance in the world i would beat a BA XR8.

A win is a win though! An XR8 has more power than the GTI but all that counts for nothing if he doesnt get a good start in a traffic light GP! Kudos to the GTI driver for getting his launch right.Revotechnik stage 1 flash, BC Sports coilovers, Lenso Type M's, APR R1 diverter valve

an APR'd Polo would have a good chance of floggin an BA XR8?!VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

If a short race yes, the Polo would get ahead quickly. If its a lengthy race say on a track, eventually the Boss V8 would reel in the GTI. But yeah flashed Polo's would surprise alot of cars out there.Revotechnik stage 1 flash, BC Sports coilovers, Lenso Type M's, APR R1 diverter valve

Well I was reading 1/4 mile figures from of a couple blokes on the ford forum via a link from here just recently, xr8 times were the same as mine [flashed] after they done a bit to them.Hooroo.
