Its interesting to say the least.
Whats the point of a burn out comp? The poplo looses which would mean its getting better traction!!!!!!
Does not look well done to me.
But hey in is Hot4s.

Coming from a Toyota background those little starlets are rockets with potential. But this is your typical Hot 4s stuff. rofl

My brother gave me the hot4's dvd with this on it ages ago.
He always keeps a lookout for anything involving VW


It might win the burnout competition. but look at the brake test..

Where in any daily driving or motorsport is doing a better burnout going to aid you? Useless as tits on a bull.

[PoloGTi]

I realy dont see how this is a test lol its so silly why did they make this? Maybe trying to be like Top Gear?

that was classic crap, all those guys didnt know how to drive for ducks nuts
yes as someone rightly put it a burnout is about as useful as tits on a bull, couldnt have said it better myself.

Drag Racing?

Drag Racing?

I guess, but would that make that much of a difference to the result?

Sticky tyres = better take off

Bit stupid eh - Nothing scientific about their 'review methods' at all, but I figure it was soley for entertainment value...

$10 says that starlet wasn't standard either.

[PeterHBne]

The whole test is appropriate for your average Hot 4 reader. That is moronic.

I'm surprised they didnt also include a test where the car that can fit the most stickers down the side wins.

Ummm you would get more heat into a road tyre by braking heavily than doing a burn out.

[KI11Z]

its pointless doing burnouts with street tyres as majority of them get worse with heat! . . . either way this test was purely for entertainment value!, they'
re measuring with steps! HAHA . . .

I will add one thing. The pogo's handbreaky was quite dissapointing.

As for what value the clip actually had - it was about as usefull as a write up on paris hilton in your saop scubs magazine.

I only had 6 minutes of my life stolen from me - nothing life changing.

Yeah the travel in the handbrake is very long, hard to get used to and more work when on a skid pan.
