"Bugatti veyron" golf gti = RS 6 suckered

[ABBEYHOUSE]

i'll cut to the point.......

I don't have the money that this bloke seems to have, so i'm Thinking of a quick shot of Nos to beat a dam Golf Gti MK1 which seems more like a Buggati Veyron, it leaves me for dust and is rather .......



Any pointers or advise would be much appreciated.


Yours VW'd

ps ony one else encountered this git? nr A23 SX

Are you standard or modified?

[ABBEYHOUSE]

Standard apart from the abt exhaust... however, soon to be dam faster than a mk1 golf!!

He must be online somewhere.... its brown and I think on a Y reg, i was to busy watching the petrol guage go down to jot his plate onto a peice of paper!!

if the GTi Mk1 is has had a 280bhp 1.8T transplant it could be close to 400bhp per ton! If an RS6 is 1800kg you'd need over 700bhp to hang on.

hmmmm let the battle commence!

You've also got 4WD drivetrain losses to consider, but he will have severe traction problems, even at higher speeds.

You sure your car is running OK and you don't need a pair of MAFs (very common on RS6's)

i'm no rs6 expet but to the best of my knowledge the car seems fine....

What is the best way to see if the mafs are working ???

Get the car checked out. I had a standard in last week that made 380 bhp ... After a quick fettle it made 500 bhp... One happy customer.

Good advice from the big man. Get is checked.
Torque figures are where it makes the difference on the 0 - 70 drag. Me and one of the S4 guys had a race on the way back from Newbury last week. Mine is a 500bhp rs6, his is a 344 bhp S4. Torque wise mine is 535 lb/ft and his is 410 lb/ft. I was initially quite disturbed by the outcome, until i got home and checked the facts. Due to the wieght difference the torque figures were pretty even per tonne, although BHP/Tonne i had a good advantage. Result was that upto 70 we were fairly well matched. From there on it was down to who had the most horses per tonne and my six had some pretty fit legs. From 70 up you have to get past the resistance of wind / wieght etc and thats where the horses come in. Torque for sprints, BHP for the distance.
