I'd still take an S2000 Polo any day...

probably cheaper. Get one of them and tone it down for street.

What a phenominal amount of money to do that. The colour of his car didn't come here hey? It's more grey than silver, I like it.

I've been keeping an eye on that thread for quite a while now. Still waiting for videos of the monster.

According to someone on that forum the S2000 Polo's are around $250K! The mods on this thing is a little bit more down to earth. Still I wouldn't spend $250K on a car either. But hell they'd be so much fun to drive

****s loads of money but not s2000 money

S2000 cars are that much

Kills the Evo at the end there too apparently. Lot of cash into that it looks like it. Would be cool to own, but surely he'd have to do so much more than just an lsd/coils/semi-slicks to get alot of that power down?

He will have gearbox problems and he knows it... To keep the power going anywhere he will likely have to transplant a stronger gearbox into it.

Traction would be a joke in lower gears, but with careful foot control, it could be a monster on the track.

Be it his car, or an S2000.... at the end of the day you're trying to make a cheap hatch into a monster sports car and neither is going to be a wonderful option.

As much as I love my Polo for what it does, if I want monster performance I wouldn't ever consider it as the base (even in S2000 form) for a white knuckle race car.

That said, 480hp @ tyres sounds FAR more fun to me than the S2000 with *only* 195kw

Very different cars. Other than the shell of the car, doubt much would share similarities

S2000:
AWD
150mm wider (added arches)
front and rear independent suspension
AP Racing Clutch
300mm disks front and rear...

The track width is MUCH wider than the standard Polo, it probably has a chance at holding the gravel.

Indeed, it would barely be a Polo shell on top of a completely different chasis etc.... still, short wide chasis aren't spectacular at the limit, I'd personally be spending my cash elsewhere if I wanted ultimate performance.

Don't get me wrong, the S2000 seems to be as balanced a packaged as you'll ever get from a Polo... I just still see it as sub-par for ultimate performance.

That is one insane Polo! -- I think my car took off and hid.

[mikepologti]

if i remember reading correctly he had to limit the boost in the first 3 gears so it wouldnt keep wheel spinning. even then he has trouble.

[Bboy_Sparx]

...awww I hope he's aware that he's sucking in hot air from the engine bay. What a ricer...














Hahaha sorry, I'm kidding - I'm just being one of those boring guys

I was also wondering why there was no shield over the pod filter.
