The Polo doesnt look very menacing does it? Thats why the dude in the XR8 probably thought he could blow it away with no problems. Does look like a bit of a sleeper!

Had a run witha turbo r32 skyline today up till 60km/h
(im not usually one for a Traffic Light GP but i couldnt help myself this time.). He said it had Mines ECU in it. I took off normally and he cained it so i put it in 2nd and kept up with him no worries. Next set of lights he put hiis window down and said "boy that go's alright. I was going to Buy a golf gti." I said its a polo gi mate. and yes they do go alright" .

I love the falcodore racers!! they always get the most cut when you rip them!!hehe.
When I had my vr6 years ago ,there was this guy that spent nearly 100k(on what I dont know) on his wrx.He begged me to race him and I refused as I said I didnt want to embarass him.he wasnt happy! untill I found him at the lights one day,I didnt pull along side,just sat behind.He pounced and I followed,he couldnt pull away from me,all the way to 4th gear(I wont say how fast,u guess
) needless to say next time I saw him he wanted to have a fight!!haha,I think he now drives a VW!!

Im kinda thinking the glory days for the V8s are over . Does anyone have any sales figures of Ford XR8 vs XR6 turbo ?
I find racing against a modded Xr6 turbo more appealing . And still with only 1 significant loss to a 600+hp Porsche 930 the old S3 is doing ok .

Not sure about the sales figures but there seem to be alot more XR6 Turbos on the roads than XR8's...at least thats what I noticed on Sydney roads anyways.Originally posted by Bug_racer
I agree though the glory days of V8's are certainly over. There are alot of smaller cars out there that will hand these bigger aussie 8's their a55 on a plate at the traffic lights. Alot of car manufacturers these days are going forced induction with their performance hatches. Obviously the Polo GTI, Golf GTI, Mazda 3 MPS, Astra SRI Turbo, Ford XR5 just to name a few...any of these are easily quick off the mark.

It's alot easier to extract power from a forced induction car rather than a big block NA.Revotechnik stage 1 flash, BC Sports coilovers, Lenso Type M's, APR R1 diverter valveComment

Rocket GTI
Hello everyone, this my first thread on this forums. I own a POLO GTI 2006 APR'ed, any way I had a go with a silver XR8 Auto BA/BF he beat me of the line,as I used a normal takeoff by 110km/h my brother said that I had at least 2 car lenght'es on him, he then gave me the thumbs up later when he went past . I have also beaten two different VX 350 chev comomodore's by a simlar or even larger amount. Just to mention a fewLast edited by Guest; 19-02-2007, 01:04 PM.Comment
