Chipped Polo quicker than EVO X ??

[taylor]

everybodys tastes and needs are different. i like the rawness of the evo compared to the tamer, but more classy euro cars. all comes down to personal opinion. the fact u get your front mount, engine oil cooler, brembos, recaros etc, its ready to take to the track with nothing to worry about. i've owned alot of cars and i would have to rate the evo best so far.
all just depends on what your looking for in a car but and what makes you happy

Problem is with all these its like Comparing Apples, Oranges, Kiwifruit & Lemons And Making them Race on a Watermelon..

They all have pros/cons.

some do somethings better than the other.. and vica versa...

Surely you cannot compare a (3.5 Litre 6 Cylinder Sequential Turbine RWD) against a (2.0 Litre 4 Cylinder 16V Single Turbine AWD) etc etc...

The Polo GTI is a Quick car im Sure.. (it is just a mkIV GTI in a new Guise with extra fruit)

i know my Tuned MKIV GTI used to put the ****s up a lot of Cars down at Pukekohi Race Track..

and In Some Situations it really Caned other cars... and in some situations it really sucked balls... and in one occasion whilist chasing a RS4 i got cocky came in to a corner to hot and face planted in to a armco...

Hrmmm.. I know if i (personally had 75k) to throw at something.. it would be at either a EVO 6 or some skyline GTR jobbie..

pour some money in to a turbo setup for that.. would kill any silly turbo R32..

Don't Get me Wrong.. I LOVE my R32 but the Vee Reinhenmotor 6 Cylinder was NOT designed for excess HP Production.. Intake Ports etc run in between Exhaust ports yada yada yada most places cant reboar them etc etc..

They were a Engine Designed to fit in a Compact Space...

Why spend 20,000 dollars on a Engine That will ultimatly end up with a Max of 545 - 650hp at the Flywheel From a Forced Induction 3.2 VR6

when you could spend the same money on a jap car half the price with say a RB26 and easily end up with well over 1000HP...

& then there is the other side of the coin that you had some spare coin and you really really reallly really wanted to be different away from all practical odds....

Either that or you could Put a Audi I5 Turbo in the front of an R and Turbo the **** out of that..

Cheers?

probably not the best example as the golf had an earlier start (watch the christmas tree).

No he didn't... only one side of the lights went off at all, so it was both off the same time, he just got a good start.

Also, he did a 10.52, so pretty quick regardless.

[archangel_7]

haha the M3 got done hard!

[taylor]

not sure where you got the 10.52 from, to get that from a street car you would have to pour some serious dollars into it.
the beauty about the setup of a street meet like that is a delay in your take off will only effect your reaction time and not your et. can only recomend that people go to the drags and have a go, its a real rush and well worth the effort.
its also good for bragging rights

[VW GTI]

My bad, that 'time' was on the board before the race lol, I thought it flashed up as they raced the first time I watched it.

[qsilverza]

I think that many posts have said if you chip a pog GTI it would keep or beat an EVO but I would imagine that the same could be said of the EVO if it was chipped.

And personally after driving FWD/RWD and AWD for every day driving I would take an AWD car everytime don't worry about traction it's nearly always there unless you are being very daft or your tyres aren't up to scratch.

Had a test drive of an Evo X...or the "Evolution", as they want us to call it. All I can say is that if you find yourself, in a chipped Polo, heading off one of these cars, be very careful as the other drive is probably asleep at the wheel

The top fruit MR model is $81k OTR in the ACT; the base 5sp GSR is $64k. That's Audi S3/BMW 135 money. Mitsubishi must be determined to go totally broke in this country

My mate who owns a 2006 M3 convertible test drove my Polo the other day and said he can see why I’m having so much fun driving it!... he commented on the power, actually freaked out over how much power it had! And he loved the handling and also said it was a very well built solid car which makes you feel secure in it!

i am the mate with the M3 convert, and i am suprised how quick the chipped Polo is - i think theres more work to that car than just a GIAC chip

puts up a bit of a fight for the 1800kg M3 through mid rpm 2nd gear on a roll on, then im afraid the M3 starts to walk it pretty easily

the chipped Polo needs an LSD, it just cant get the power down off the line, or through 1st gear

ive just picked up a brand new R32, ill be eager to compare that with arch_angel's Polo after its run in

i can see what you mean, but there is just something about the evo lancers of the past that is just so god damn attractive.

with the way the new ones look now, though, i'd just buy a golf gti and work it till its mental...... (sorry folks, dont really like the look of the bmw or the s3).
