That's what I thought.. I'd imagine the ST that was taken round by Redline mag didn't have a full on professional racing driver behind the wheel that knew the track like the back of his hand either..

never driven an st but the tuned one with an instructor on a closed ring did a 8min 30 btg in redline last month, thats pants, but that heavy engine will not help as said above. back to topic i think the golf is in a class of its own in the hot hatch class, softer and more refind than the competition, good idea really as there is no competition, matter of taste.

thats not really pants though is it, iirc the meganne R26R record sits at 8:17, 13 seconds off and without a LSD
the megs time is a full lap!!!! thats a good 30 sec longer, so 40 sec faster than the ford, my standard r26 has done a 840 in heavy traffic with a numpty behind the wheel :signLOL: i was there when redline did it, the white st on the cover belongs to a friend of mine,

Jesus, that shows how much of a track slag you are if the R26 doesn't excite you enough on track..  :signLOL:
Mate has just bought one actually, in black. Got it for a bloody steal IMO. Black, 07 plate, 30k, lux pack, xenons etc... £9400.  :surprised:
Getting a little bored with the power already though, so I can see it taking a trip to Paul @ RS Tuning very soon..  :wink:

Would love to, but with the Golf being a company car, it was always to risky. I know what i'd be like, i'd get carried away and end up on my roof in the kitty litter..  :laugh:
That and the fact I don't have a driving licence till next June too..  :ashamed: Be defo up for a trip to the Ring next summer though. As I would go super steady round there and go more for the experience and trip than anything else..
