Weather was bit too warm, yep an excellent day.
The logging sort of took priority naturally really, the 30-130 in the golf was stupid quick, you could just tell.
Steve Jnr I think managed 197mph down the back with 200rpm to make prior to braking....we were following him first time out in the RS4 and without putting too fine a point on it the porshe left it for dead. We were forever watching noise regs with the porker.
The LO4XX is going to be a success, it's not just about numbers although a solid safe reliable 450bhp looks more doable with every test, it's the way it does it with the DSG....just relentless surging acceleration....only thing I can compare it to is the accel my aircraft makes post 90mph....wouldn't be as impressive with a manual.
There's talk of it coming in at under £3k, If I bought a golf R it would get the turbo, injectors and maybe even leave the adapted stock intake and intercooler on it for a total OEM look so about £4k with a map for 425 BHP with economy and bags of torque...
Don't make the mistake it's a stage 2+ car with another 50-60 horses, it feels like a V8 in delivery....
Imagine a well sorted twin turbo Mk4 R32 but with Mk5/6 dynamics and DSG
