Too fast??
Aparoon:
I use my car daily to get me to and from work and also quite often go for a spin over woodhead and holmfirth etc... I love my car and wouldnt change it at all i was simply saying it doesnt need to be as fast as it is in reality and yet i want more...
I am booked in to have sportlines fitted on monday though so that should keep me gong for a while :jumpmove:

Something which hasn't been mentioned yet is that with high performance comes greatly increased safety.
- Power to overtake more swiftly and to have more opportunities to overtake.
- Greater stability due to improved handling.
- Safer with improved braking performance. I'd rather have good brakes and not need them than need them and not have them.
Just borrow an ordinary car for a day and you'll appreciate just how much safer and more enjoyable even a standard GTI is. The ex-factory GTI is excellent.
But with power comes responsibility.

I think a lot of people would benefit from a driving course than a remap! I will be doing this at some point as i can see it giving me so much more enjoyment from using the car to its full potential rather than using it well under!
Aparoon:
Sounds like a good idea, much better than 'thinking' your a good driver and killing yourself...
It doesnt take much to make our cars really quick and without driving experience or sense it can be dangerous, hence outrageous insurance!!
My 1.8t was fast but my ed30 is different again. I thnk people may be getting confused with my original post, i dont think my car is too fast to drive or handle just simply that for road use it is excessive, but great :evilgrin:
