What is the point of going over 300bhp on a front wheel drive?
ROH ECHT:
No...they wouldn't! :scared:
Yes, when you look at the list of records. They stand ahead of some monsters :happy2:

My old ST was fitted with an electronic torque limiter in first and second to aid traction and protect driveshafts. Unless I was being an absolute hooligan or it was wet i very rarely got any spin, even with TC off.
I'd love to get my golf to the same level, I can see DSG making it even more awesome.

Only because your sole drive is 0-60 and 1/4 times. Nothing wrong with 300+ in fwd for normal use.

I agree.
I ran nearly 400hp in a FWD for years and it was great for everything apart from 1/4 runs.

How is the Leon running Dan - Up for 30-130 again this year (if it goes ahead?)
Back on topic. .....
I ran plenty of trackdays in the ED 30 and loved them all, but I wouldn't go BT and fwd. Dan should be with me on this one as he actually converted his Leon to 4WD.
