0 - 100kph times

[GTI PERTH]

Hi guys and girls, this is my first post here and its been great reading everyones ideas.
so heres one that im a little confused on!!!
My car has done 1500Ks so far so i thought i would G-Tech it and see what id come up with and i got
0-100kph at 30 degrees outside tempature of 7.14sec
then at 23.5 degrees i got 7.02sec and i really think i can beat this but not by much.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE FACTORY IS ON ABOUT AT 8.2sec AND THIS IS EVEN IN THERE WINTER. IM CONFUSED

It's a better idea for car companies to quote times that are slower then what the car can do, then to make it out to be faster then it really is.

Hope your enjoying the car, what spec is it?

anyone ran the gtech on a chipped polo ?

Id be interested in knowing that answer.

Is that 0 - 100 Km on the cars speedo you were timing from ? They are usualy slightly under ? Would a tank full of fuel make much difference ?

Thats a good point, 100km/h is about 95km/h on my GPS. I've been told GPS is more accurate.

11 secs in my 97 Polo :(

i had a gps unit in my polo and the speed it was saying was exactly the same as my speedo. Also did a 0-100 test and i got 7.38s (was with a stop watch )

My GPS reads 94 at an indicated 100 -- this pretty well matches up with the odo against those 5km checks :?

Same with me

gps is on 94, speedo shows 100

the time im talking about guys is the G-TECH time and speed which is not 0-100kph SORRY ABOUT THAT
is actually 0-60MPH which is something like 98.4kph :) hope this helps

If possible... could someone with a APR GTI polo please get someone to sit in the car with them and record you giving it some stick... and 0-100.

Just to satisfy my craving for APR untill the time that i think my car has sufficient kms to get a whole lot more power.

Chipping your car isn't just about 0-100 times. It makes the car some much better in the mid range.

I've had a few instances of torque steer in 3rd while on boost. Good fun!

[shaneth]

no it might not just be baout 0-100kph but its a good judge of performance.

[mitch_gti]

Videos anyone????????


Ive also heard it changes the exhaust note slightly? cant possibly see how it would :?

That's why 80-120 is the real test;)

for anyone interested

with a 20 degree outside temp i got 6.99 sec 0-60mph i think i can nail the start just alittle more, MAYBE 1 DAY :)

[GTI PERTH]

update for anyone looking at flashing
standard the best i ever did was 6.77 - 0-60mph

flashed best is 5.71 at 14.5 degrees outside temp, waiting on intercooler and a couple of other bits and pieces

[shaneth]

Awesome work. Thanks mate. These were done with a G-Tech right?

[GTI PERTH]

yes and with original conty tyres because i had my advanti's on with hankooks and were getting 6.03 best time so i went and put the originals back on :)

[poloplayer]

So what does the speedo say when the GPS reads 100kmh?

[Kai]

Mine says 93kph

[quaddrive]

what sort of launch are you using for the 0-100.... I have tried all sorts of combos and found a 2300ish rpm slip the quickest and limiting wheelspin.
I just got the temp chip and the best I can manage is 6.3-6.4 sec....
also I went to the drags last night..... toooo much wheelspin... even when shortshifting.... ran a 15.1 at 94mph.... but wheel spinning all way thru second gear...lol
