NEWSFLASH!!! Golf GTI's triumph in 30-130mph Shootout SHOCKER!

i thought the m6 time wasnt right, still a good time for an m3. ben i know of a ed30 with identical spec to yours hit 170 on the speedo lol so with a longer runway you would hit a true 155ish i reckon.

Shame about the head wind and rain in the afternoon but the whole day was worth it just to be sitting behind a Ferrari F40 and hear it giving it the full monty in the first few gears    (no video   )

I can always console my self with the fact that on the day I definitley had the fastest wheelchair at 139 mph (152mph on the clock)  I tried leaving it out of the car but it went slower, weird.

I have seen a bit more than that on mine (autobahn obviously) so I reckon a 160 (actual) would easily be possible..

Justt got the graphs from the day if anyone is interested...? Quite good as shows gear changes, in gear speed etc..

First if all a graph of all the modded ST runs..



Mine..



Looks like the DSG makes a difference... 

[Hurdy]

Good graph Ben. I always appreciate a good graph

It is soooooo smooth too

[john_o]

love it Ben, and yes DSG rules 
30-100 in under 10 seconds is FAST 

we need a forum day doing this ..........

[Sunglasses Ron]

Would of been a dam sight faster if it wasn't for hurricane katrina ..

Also got Cohiba's graph too..

[Sunglasses Ron]

This is run from a Evo X FQ300 SST (Same as DSG) for a gearbox comparison..

[Hurdy]

Wow!!

An Evo X 300 is about 4 seconds slower 30 to 100mph WITH a DSG box to boot. Impressive stats Ben

[Shins]

Was brilliant to have you guy's along, so thanks for the 3 who represented the Golf's and very good times too!

Hopefully we will get to do it again and hopefully this time we will get more than a measely 9 hot hatches along!

Hybrid for me next time though!

[luca]

ben do you know if the m3 csl was modded? its around 5secs quicker than the other m3 vert.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Not sure whether it had any other mods, but it defo had a aftermarket exhaust..

Oh and Rod, thought you said you was coming to the darkside (VW)? 

[stealthwolf]

WoW!!!! Wish I could have seen this. Bit crap they didn't allow vids.

At least you're holding up the mk5 front!

[Shins]

Oh and Rod, thought you said you was coming to the darkside (VW)? 

 :grin:Think I'll stick a hybrid on, that should do the trick, oh and stick to track days, as that's the only place the FRS seems to excel!
