0-60mph 3.70 secs!!!!
« on: March 10, 2015, 08:41:46 pm »
Hey guys, some 0-60 time to be a little surprised at.

GTI mk 5 (standard) - revo stage 1 - revo air intake - full tank of v-power +

My mate was in the car with me on a flat dry quite road

1st run 0-60 = 5.66 secs
2nd run 0-60 = 3.70

3.70 seconds! Can this really be correct?! Its deffo under 5 secs for 0-60. The car does feel super quick! but under 4 secs for a standard GTI with stage 1, can't be?! :signLOL:


As you can tell I was well chuffed with this.
  :laugh:

Any thoughts?

To get in the 5s with a FWD car you need over 300bhp in a manual. DSG may be easier to crack the 5s mark

Get it down the strip at Santa pod is easiest and most fun way to find out I guess
But doubtful it even be under 6 seconds to be honest mate and thats if you can get the power down
You sure its not wheel spinning to 60mph  :laugh:

Don't believe you for a second.
