Does anyone have a 0-100 time on an APR chipped Polo GTI ??
I've been scouring the world wide web for some indication of what a chipped GTI may be running a 0-100km/h time in. I've come up with nothing. If anyone out there knows, some info would be great?
i've just done a bit of looking around at small car figures (astra SRi turbo, XR5 turbo, golf GTI, 3 MPS, Megane Sport 225 CUP, Clio Sport 182 CUP etc.) and judging by the 0-100 that these cars are achieving, keeping in mind that the Polo GTI is much lighter than all these (besides the Clio), it would seem that a 0-100 time of between 6.8sec - 7 sec would not be unreasonable or unachievable. would anyone agree?
With chip (and decent hook up) you should get 6.25 - with a few mods post chip, 5.75 (and lower) is achievable, depending on conditions and how good you are behind the wheel.
Not sure how reliable the gadget I had was but got 5.4.
Gtechs can be out - a lot depends on how well calibrated they are and the ability (and honesty) of the user to control for inacuracies, eg down hill, rolling starts. I spent a significant amout of time getting mine right, including running it against drag strip timers to verfiy its accuracy. ..so you guys want to know my absolute best 0-100 ??? (not telling ha ha ha).
