5.01 at inters, was gutted not to get in the 4's

Yours is manual though Gaz, but I'd have expected 4's from it. Having said that the guys in the USA are struggling to get clean launches with the manual golf R's and tend to do low 5's too.

I'm sure there is a late 4's in it John with a little more practise/less mechanical sympathy, 0.02 of a second less and I'd of been there

Mines about 5.5 i would say.

are you at stage 1 rich? would it not be more like 5.8 ish as 5.5 for stage 1 seems too quick but i could be wrong?

[berg]

Consistent 3.8 seconds 0-60 with a Racelogic Performance box (GPS) in the Golf R. Also did a 3.4 second run downhill just to prove the 3.8's aren't LOL.

4.4 seconds 0-60 in my old DSG Ed30 when running R888's and using 100bhp shot progressive nitrous system.

wow, 3.8 out of a R,  and 4.4 out of an ED30 

without looking at your full thread John, what power and torque are you at at present?

[berg]

thinking on, one of the answers from Ralph Hosier (sp?) in Evo to a letter was that as a rough rule of thumb a 50 bhp increase equated to a 0.5 sec decrease, so anyone running a 327bhp Ed30 should be around 5.4 seconds? 377bhp = 4.9 seconds (but of course if had lightened the car by stripping it out and are running 888's this time can be achieved with less power)

379bhp and 360lbft. (314whp on a hub dyno)

I was running 440bhp and 510lbft on nitrous in the ED30 and that was on a Dyno Dynamics set of rollers. With R888's, full suspension, weight reduction, DSG map, Quaife etc etc

AND still couldn't get lower than 4.4 to 60mph.

Frickin hell , I need a Golf R in my life 

[gazon69]

Hmmmm mine had spare wheel in, a passenger and im a fat barstewards. Mine might do a 4 stripped out and jimmy crankie driving    (only joking about doing a 4 by the way)

just goes to show the traction 4wd difference if 379bhp = 3.8 but 440bhp can only achieve 4.4 with 2wd. suppose wil have to get the VW driver mag, but it does beg the question what time the APR Golf R is capable of

It quotes 3.3 seconds for the 0-60 sprint on the APR stage 3 car!  

Mine should be faster than that next year!!!

[rich83]

Stage 1 berg.. it probably 5.5-6... 

[Beddie]

Mine was timed at 5.5 at inters 

[gazon69]

Gti manual k04 conversion. 5.03. At inters this year. Loads quicker now as i have made a few more upgrades and lightened the load a little. Hoping to be in the 4's this coming year. Not bad for a manual.

 

That is awesome! And YOU drove it, not a computer.
