lets not do this, if you have a mapped ed30 then you would, but lets be honest, dudes rocking a 911, you think he is bothered :signLOL:

Oh,mines mapped.
I'm not saying that I went flying past in sticking up the V's,but in acceleration terms I did a good job in keeping up(on the private road yer honour.)
I also know the owner and he was aware what was behind him,so when he booted it along the two mile straight,I did the same and spooked him that a mere GTI wouldn't be as easy to outrun as he thought.
Made me feel better and want to tune the Golf a bit more now.
It was a bit of fun.Don't take it so seriously.I knew that I had no chance of going past it and TBH thought he would leave me dead but it was fun pitting the ED30 against a proper supercar.Isn't that what they're for?

We'd all choose the Porsche all day long.

But I thought that for you edition 30 lot making them able to keep up with these sort of cars is all part of the fun?!

Yes the Porsche driver will sit there thinking "it's a golf, why are you even trying to race me!?" but is that not part of the sport?!

I often wind my window down when I see a Porsche & shout "mine is doing more mpg than yours"  :signLOL:

What's cracking me up is Greeners was selling a mint one for ED30 money....

An Edition 30 is still a golf but at Porsche Money evidently  :confused:

Your not wrong, my dad had a 997 Carrera 4S and the rear tyres were something crazy like £400 quid a go  :surprised: 

The clutch needed replacing at 20,000 mile and that wasnt cheap either as you can imagine!!!  But the noise  :jumping:

The credit crunch put a premature end to his Porsche ownership days!

Golf is all around versatility and it's amazing you can get porsche likish power in a hatchback!

I wouldn't have the Porsche.Or any supercar for that matter.
Cos then I'd have dicks like me,rolling up behind me in their hot hatch wanting to race me,not realising I have a race bred pony with an accredited history in refining power,handling and braking(not to mention the rather impressive appendage,which attracts the ladies) and then allowing them to think that they might,just might have a chance until I floor it and leave them in my impressive wake.
I have a supercar.Get over it. :notworthy:


I have a re-mapped Golf ED30.It's a bloody good laugh! :innocent:

Get over it guys a golf is a golf who cares how fast it is as its still no Porsche as its not how fast a Porsche is its the way the car is made and drives its a pleasure to drive one. I would say if you have never driven one go test drive one then you will understand  :smiley:

Gotta agree with Mat etc. It's still a Porsche, a test drive will soon make you realise how they outclass a golf in almost everyway. I had a Cayman R on an extended test drive last weekend, what an epic car them things are!

It made my TT feel like a numb fat lump, granted my car made the Porsche look silly in a straight line but does that really matter? IMO, not at all, I would take the Cayman over mine in a heartbeat, the way it cornered , the build, the ride, I could go on and on. It really opened my eyes to how insignificant straight line speed is  :happy2:
