VW Golf R mk7 Launch Control
« on: September 04, 2014, 06:14:10 pm »
 Had a Golf R on test the other day and was blown away by it... :driver:

Did a couple of runs using the launch control: ESP off, sport mode for the gear box, foot on brake, floor the throttle and away you go. After three on the trot  i did get a warning flash up saying the gearbox was hot.

here is a video of a run i recorded.



these are going to be unbelievable when the tuners get their hands on them.

Can't watch your video at work but to get it to embed properly you need to remove the 's' from https  :happy2:

The tuners already have their hands on them.

Revo stage 1 brings 0-60 down from 4.9sec to 3.7sec  :surprised:

A mk6 R needs Stage 2+ to get a 3.6sec to 60  :grin:

Lots of potential in those   :jumping:
