Does anyone have a 0-100 time on an APR chipped Polo GTI ??

[pomme]

I'd be up for that too

[RhysQ]

Sounds like we all need to get together on a non rainy weekend & do some testing!

I even have my old G-tech meter here too so its possible to strap three different measuring devices into one car

yeah im in! as for the non rainy part, and how this summer has turned out so far, we might have to wait a while haha.

where would the testing be done?

Good Question Rhys - 0-100 testing is pretty easy legally on the freeway. We need to do it quietly ie: dont have ten polo's sitting in the breakdown zone on the freeway.

Proposal: (Only need 3 cars - our K04, a chipped one & a stock one!) - base it out of our place (we are only a couple of blocks from the freeway) - same driver, same co pilot & we can do 4 x 0-100 standing starts and then come back & download the data.

Repeat this for the other two cars.

A weekend is probably easier to get all the cars together - we can also do it on a weekday. Need to do them all on the same day to get equal numbers!

And we don't break any laws - most importantly!

Guy's proposal seems a simple and effective way to achieve the 0-100 times. I'd also suggest that four cars would be needed (instead of three), ie (1)stock, (2) chipped, (3) chipped with mods (eg FMIC, exhaust) and then (4) K04 (tend to have similar mods as 3). Also need to nominate a single/same driver to control for driver variation between cars.

Oh alright then ... I'll do it (sigh).

No way Dave, you're way too aggressive. You'd snap the drivetrains in two by dumping the clutch as if you stole em

Hmmm ... I could unstrap my lead boot for a day.

very simple guys, just tape on cam and then time it! nothing complex about it really... anyways, chipped apr is around 6.5 seconds depends on the driver

[insanekiwi]

As discussed GPS will be most accurate like what Guy has.. VBOX!

Anyway who will be the driver of the day!!?! Can I come from NZ.

[GT3]

I'll be at Winton next week so that's a no: 3 version Polo for the test, other Polo GTIs (other stages of mods) who have done Winton previously could forward their best times -that's more data we could use. I understand that while the VBox does 0-100, each run can be broken down further as well, eg 0-20, 0-60.

Track records Winton - if we can't beat the supertrucks then we should be ashamed of ourselves ; )

[GT3]

Any progress on test?

[Guy_H]

No progress up here - finally we have had some fine weather though.

Only downside is our Polo has started the journey on going back to a stocker so it will be out of a test

[Flaps]

Can I ask why it is going back to stock?

[Guy_H]

Cause its getting traded in at the dealer on our new project for 2008!
