What is the point of going over 300bhp on a front wheel drive?

[Msportman]

I must admitt I much prefer circuit driving rather than 1/4 sprints which I find boring and cruel to the car and transmission.

A good trackday is a far better representation of a car's ability as although sprinting gives a indication's of acceleration and outright power/weight advantage in a straight line. I get much more of a buzz pedaling against much more exotic machinery on a good track event.

I agree that a 400bhp Evo will wipe the floor against a Cupra to 100 mph.

Anyone seen Auto Express video review of the Golf R V Cupra R on circuit....very interesting.

Yeah I put a link on the main section and got moaned at by someone being sour cos a poor mans VW is actually quicker thank proper one lol

I am the same as you mate, 0-60 doesn't bother me. I never boot my car in first, I'd rather hoof it around a track than do 1/4 sprints. Yaaaaaawn

There seems to be a fair majority of 1/4 supporters on here.....in fact there doesn't seem to be many users on this site unlike 3-4 yrs ago.....I note there is quite low activity and new posts on here....where have all the owners gone....MK6 nad now 7??

A few DSG owners on here doing some big turbo builds for 1/4 mile sprinting. Other than that there doesn't seem like of hardcore track enthusiasts like on other forums I could mention.

True

I'm waiting till the engine is built before I go honing it on track. I probably visited most of the UK tracks for trackdays as well as Nurburgring and Spa visits in my old ED30. The R will be the same soon.

Until then straight line sprints will do and they are the benchmark for performance. The Nurburgring is the benchmark for handling and that is on my radar.

I'm going "Stage2+" on mine later this month, I will report my experinces.

I find mine ok with big turbo and only had minimal chassis mods last time it was on the road without a quaife! over 300+ with k04 is more aggressive low down.. big turbo is smoother and more progressive

Depends on the mapping also?
