Golf GTi 0-60?

[Nova_Houch7]

Right, seeing as people put up lil traffic light races lol...

Was just wandering if anyone knows the rough 0-60 that a golf gti mk4 1.8 20v (non turbo) will do?

My bro bought one, and i rekon my nova wud kick its ass soon lol

mk4 gti,

iv got a 8yard skip out side fully loaded and i still bet its weights less lol

[Nova_Houch7]

yeh probably lol, i told my bro they heavy, he just wanted a new car and sutn thats not ganna cost too much, but still be pokey, i did try and tell him, that if he wanted all that dont buy mk4 golf gti, but he doesnt listen to me.

Any one know rough 0-60 then?

I reckon your nova will kane it with ease, i had the 20v turbo and it wasnt really that quick for being a turbo til i upped the boost!, Think the NA ones would be a little bit slower.

But i got rid of mine to get a cav turbo!

I'd said about 9/10secs to 60.

[Nova_Houch7]

kwl kwl! yeh mine prob will kane it then.

My mate at work has the 1.8 20v turbo golf, and i didnt think it was that fast when he gave me lift home. Just looks alright! and nice inside!

[Nova_Houch7]

mk4 1.8 20v GTi has 125 bhp and does the 0-60 dash in 9.6 seconds.

Time to take him outside!

[matt1chelski]

9.6 seconds (according to parkers)

[Nova_Houch7]

yeh ill rip him up then! its jus this stretch of road from my mums to my dads, people always have a quick race where 2 roads become one, who ever can get in front to get in the single roiad, so ill race him there lol.

kwl kwl! yeh mine prob will kane it then.



lol you might have the edge, but you wont slaughter it. Never mind, at least his has the potential to be legal lol lol

You need a lot more power than another car to "cane" it.

[Rich]

You will most likely beat it. My mate beat one quite easily in a 1.4 sri, twicelol

If they were similar weights of car, a nova is going to be a good few 100kgs lighter than a MK4 Golf?

[Adam]

And the golf has a lot more power.

[cavturbomike]

True enough, would think wheels would have an effect too, if the golf is on 18s it should be easily beaten (my turbo wasnt stunning quick or fast on 18s) smaller wheels and it does take off, same would apply to the Nova, one way to find out....

[Lucky Luke!]

If IIRC didnt they do a test on top gear a while back and the Golf was wooped by a diesel skoda octavia?

OK :D

[womble sri]

my mate just bought one i think my sr would eat it to about 80-90 and its not too hot top end my other mate just got an s3 quatrro and thats quick but still a disapointment no match for an xe

[slammed saloon]

they only seem to put those 20v turbo engines in cars which are too heavy. did a service on my mates 20v turbo a3 the other day, took it for a thrashing after and i was absolutely appauled (sp) at the performance!!!!

Like anything that rolled out of the late 90's onward VAG stable. Germans have a massive teutonic hard on for weighty safety equipment.
