wow man you're the best

 

 

No, not a mod over there. Just been around there since the beginning. Have put 671,000 miles on a Jetta, 500,000+ miles on Corrados, yeah - been around that scene awhile. Only 45k on the R32 so far.

 

even if you started at 80 in the second run, you should have still been in 3rd gear..... you were killin yourself....

 

R32's are heavy and AWD... But they have a nice sounding big 3.2 V6 in the heavy front to make up for it. Outcome is very normal, they should be as fast as we are, but they have a nice torque! O yeah, the new GTi (2.0 TFSI) is almost as quick as the heavier R32. I had an encounter with a black new Golf V GTI yesterday. btw, the GTi responds quite better to mods than the normally aspirated R32 block...

 

i dont think so, g60racer says hes at 240+whp with intake and a reflash. that TWO mods. that aint happening with a MKV 2.0.

 

You don't think so what? R32 = 250bhp NA, GTI 2.0 TFSI = 200bhp with a little turbo. R32 = 0-62 in 6.2, GTI in 6.9, all DSG. Upgrade the turbo, the blow pressure or whatever on the GTI and you get lots of new power... What can you do about the NA R32 engine without turbo'ing it? Get another 10 horses with a big fat 3.2 sitting on the front wheels? But I would take the R anyday, it sounds fantastic, has the big torque, it can do anything from very low revs on

 

i dont think you read my post. with I/H/APR MKIV .:R's are making 260AWHP. you'd HAVE to upgrade the turbo on the MKV just to break 220whp.
