Found this on the net.
I suspect the grey MK5 was their stage 3 MK5.
Gives people a gauge and realisation of how quick the MK5 is when fettled :evilgrin:.

That vid would probably result in someone getting banned from driving if in the UK.

Probably if the camera was looking at the speedo !
Mind you APR have a private road facility.

^^^^
Our friend on this forum got a ban without a camera on the speedo IIRC. The authorities measured the distance between landmark points and compared it with the time on the vid to then calculate speed. The other factor was that the vid showed 2 cars going fast side by side as in this vid and they decided to see it as 'road racing'. And then they cruelly, imo, made an example of our friend < I say this in consideration of it being a dual carriageway with no other traffic AFAIK.
He's been very honourable about it and accepted his fate and will be enjoying driving again soon :happy2:

Seen this a few times. :happy2:
Does no-one read the info?

....I must admit that I didn't read the info.
Had I done so I probably would have thought that it was a piss-take anyway. But if true, then hats off to the local sheriffs :notworthy:

He was probably in the R8... :smiley:

^^^^ :signLOL: Nice one! :laugh: :laugh:
True story from the 1960's - A friend's elder brother had a Ferrari (the whole family was seriously into performance cars but that's another story). Anyroadup, said bro was hammering down the relatively new M5 (since extended) and got stopped by the Police. The two boys in blue were very enthusiastic about the Ferrari and so the bro, being very public school and a natural charmer, seized his chance to offer a ride. Later, everyone went their separate ways and everyone was happy and no-one got into trouble. No chance of such cool collaborations nowadays - Unless you live in a certain county across the pond as we've seen in the vid.

Surely the R8 would rape the GTi?! Even at stage 3, it's pretty unbelieveable the R8 would get Tanned...

....Well yes - it's a willy waving contest.

^ Part of a big roadside hoarding I saw in Europe, campaigning for more speed restrictions! :fighting:
I don't know what she's complaining about - she looks well shagged!
-
Quite believable really, my stage 2 ed30 feels every bit as fast as my old RS4(same engine), ask vtecabuser he knows first hand.....
-
..ask vtecabuser he knows first hand.....
....The plot thickens. Probably wise to say no more.

I wouldn't worry it's been over every forum and newspaper in the land!!

Rolling its all power to weight so not suprising the golf keeps up. I think it would be different with the V10 model (gallardo engine) :evilgrin:
-
Quite believable really. I had a play with an RS4 Avant (same engine) the other month in my stage 1 S3 and there was sod all in it! I would expect there to be nothing between a stage 2+ ED30/S3 and an R8 4.2. The R8's really aint that fast, I think the way it look makes people believe its gonna be a rocketship! :happy2:
-
^^^^
Yep, there can be absolutely no doubt that the R8 looks fast.

I love them, I had one follow me all the way into london town yesterday - Just looked so awesome in the rear view mirror

Or is it just mine you don't like :sad1: [RR goes off into a corner to sulk]

Best get used to them once its the law for all new cars to have them!

Just yours, you know that, I won't go into it again...... And don't cry in the corner

It will be law to have them, not use them!!

Are they not automatic?
-
Nope, could turn mine off on my S3 and RS4, didn't though liked the safeness of people seeing me early
-
^^^^
I think they will be 'automatic' on cars built after 2011(?). But who knows.
-
Actually I think you are right RR, I just googled it and they will have to be automatic, but surely there will be an overide switch ? Slightly OT, but who cares....
-
I can turn the christmas lights off on the S3 but haven't once yet, they really do make you presence felt when driving in daylight :happy2:
-
i think youve left your lights on outside again Robin :evilgrin:

But you have a big bright red golf :pomppomp: with a deeper exhaust note if they cannot see you they need there eyes testing.

Ditto in stg 1 ED30 - but an RS4 Saloon,

Spoke with APS in the summer and they said the majority of R8/RS4's aern't making 414 bhp and a more like 390'ish.
Ed stated that normally a full Miltek, map etc sorts them out and brings them up to factory figures!
R8 is still a lovely car though but it's a nice thought that the hiumble old Golf with a bit of fettling can bring it's performance to levels that years ago was only a dream. All credit to the overall Golf package on what is a fraction of the cost of a R8/RS4/911 even with all of 'our' stage 2 mods. :pomppomp:

these apr cars arent that quick. The stage 2 plus ones should be quicker than the r8's but they are not for some reason.

....Milltek were quite surprised by the number of their systems that have been ordered for the R8. Have you seen the Milltek pipework for the R8? It's a real sculpture!
-
A Stage 2+ Golf (especially DSG) would pull a decent distance on a RS4 upto very high speeds (R8 would go a little better as it is slightly lighter than the RS4). Mine was only Stage 1 (with Milltek) when I had my (infamous) coming together. So with another 40bhp.... :evilgrin:
Just make sure it's safe if you want t find out for yourself.. :signLOL:
