i loved the seats in the r26, it has a LSD, after a map its 260bhp, xenon's are standard, along with cruise control AND its cheaper. But when you down the pub explaining this you feel like....had i bought the golf all i would have needed to say is, yea i drive a gti. :signLOL:
cheaper? how much is a golf? friend of mine paid 17 new, dont know where you lot get this mith from, yeah its cheap for what you get but not cheaper, as for explaining the image! sorry i may get slated for this but golf gtis are driven by reps!!!!cos there soft, ed 30 with map, brakes, suspension and diff is a golf! cant compare a gti to the meg, rant over.

All I was trying to explain was that you said in your previous posts that the RS was by no means slower than a mapped Ed30 and if anything faster. Yet when it has been tested the times tell a different story.
I agree not everyone is in to 1/4 mile, 0-100 times etc. But the clock doesn't lie and a second or two difference on either test is a big difference on the road and when I say that I don't mean one will disappear into the hoizon difference. But it can be different as in a fair few car lengths etc, like say the difference between a standard GTI and standard Ed30 for example.. :wink:

Not sure if Tom has had his S3 on the rollers or not. But I don't think it's any quicker than any other S3 should be. Tom got good results at Inters, as he had Revo software, S tronic (DSG) box (4WD obviously) and the most important ingredient of all, a decent driver.. :wink:
