MK5 GTi 0-60 times
« on: May 01, 2011, 08:41:27 pm »
Guys,

I'm sure that a lot of you have your opinions on this  :party:
I'm not talking about accelerating till you see your speedo hit 60, cause as far as I'm concerned that's about 56-57mph?
apollo13 (on this forum) and I plugged in the VAG cable/software and you have a 0-60 test option on there.  On the few runs we did (before they kicked us out of Bluewater shopping centre)  :signLOL: he said I was changing gear at around 57mph (looking at his laptop), but I know my speedo was 60 or just over, so this slowed my time down when changing. 
So what I really want to know is can we hit 60 in 2nd gear (in other words carry on until around 63-64 on the speedo before changing), and are you sure it's safe to do so??  :scared:

Now that would be ridiculous  :signLOL:
You would have thought they would have designed it to squeeze an extra 1mph  :confused:

Maybe you're thinking too much of 0-60 times, they rarely mean anything in real life or on track (apart from grid starts but again, I don't think you'd do those in a road car). In gear acceleration is important and this is where the GTI is good.
