Come on then, owe up! Who's been surprised or beaten by another car before in the GTI?!
I wouldn't say beaten but this morning I had a little play with a Peugeot 106 GTI. Damn I didn't realise they were so quick! In my defense I saw him about to overtake me at speed so I put my foot down too and it wasn't until I was approaching double figures that I started to reel him in. A bit dissappointed but he did have a big head start I think it would have been a different story if we both started even ;)
-
106 gti's are quick, a friend had one a few years ago, fully stripped out with a few mods and it fair shifted!
-
I had a Saab estate (not sure which model) coming up behind me quite quick on a stretch of dual carriageway (we were doing about 30 waiting for a truck to move over) so I floored it and I couldn't shake him, I pulled over and he couldn't go past but he was stuck in my wing mirror all the way to 120. I did have 3 passengers but I didn't expect it.
-
Some of those SAAB's tune to 300hp ish, considering one for the rest of the year

Get 2.8 V6 Turbo great car very underestimated...

Another GTI pulled out behind me not too long ago and started tailgating. I only had myself in the car and he was packed to the hilt with 4 passengers.
We reached an open straight and I put the boot down in 2nd gear (completely stock engine).
Within 200m he had overtaken me with ease! His car must have been tuned to within an inch of it's life!
-
BMW Alpina B5 showed me my arse... Bloody rapid!
-
Isn't the B5 a reworked M5?
Not a Golf but I had my Focus's ars@ handed over by sapphire cosworth a few months ago, I have my suspicions that he was lightly modded :happy2: he didn't overtake me but I couldn't pull away from him
-
Mk7 Golf R..... He wasn't happy :signLOL:
-
Not completely beaten but i has a rangerover evoque pull of the lights quicker than i was expecting, so i nailed it, and upto just over 60 he stayed next to me. Went straight home and googled it, top spec engine one has a 0-60 of 7ish seconds. after 60 my golf was off. still a standard gti though.
-
Yeah 4WD gave him a decent launch but after that the aerodynamics of a shed probably didn't help much :laugh:
-
I kept with a Nissan GTR (early model) leaving a 50mph section, the clouds of black smoke told me he was trying :grin:
-
Back in the summer 2years ago when I still had my stg2 eddy,a 335d overtook me easily :surprised:
It was bloody quick

With just a map and exhaust they're insane, my friend had one for 6 months and beat a V8 R8 in it, they have crazy torque.

I'm saving for one as my next car, I drive a stage 2+ hybrid edition and I would be well peeved to say the least if my eddy is quicker.
-
GTR's are so damn tuneable though. I went for a passenger ride in a 675bhp one including a launch, holy f*ck I could hardly breathe when it took off.

Was that from a rolling start?

4.4 v8 bi turbo..... It sounded epic.

Nah he said it was about 60 - 140 and the R8 couldn't catch him.

Had a play with a brand new S4 Avant a few weeks back. He couldn't leave me no matter how hard he tried on the straights, different story around the twisty bits........boy ive got one Uber pissed off brother now!!
:wink:

I think this post will be better suited to people meeting a ko4 stage 2+ :driver:

Oh the memories of embarrassing people that under estimated it, including a friends e46 330i bmw :grin:
-
How quick are mk7 gti's once rolling?
-

I was very surprised. This one had obviously been modded to a certain extent due to its loud exhaust so it wouldn't surprise me if it had a few other tweeks under the skin. I was just a bit disappointed that I didn't leave it for dead like I thought my car would! Perhaps a remap is needed in due course!

Remember our little play on the motorway @Orc (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9637) :driver:

Yeah that was when I was stage 1, I actually thought of posting this dude Infact yeah I was very surprised to this guy ^^^^ on the m5 last year in my stage 1 eddy at the time to be fair that smoker was quick Mann!
-
All sorts!
Regularly harassed by 320/325d's, had to catch a 1.9tid Saab last week after I span up for what seemed a lifetime!
Before I had my DV replaced a guy at a second set of lights even asked me if it was "a real gti?!" Better now but my stock gti certainly isn't a drag weapon. :chicken:A lot of fast cars around now! :driver:

I had it on my bike a few years ago, came up a slip road with a bmw behind me, unsure what model it was when I just mooned the throttle and went for it, was completely flat out on the bike when it came past me like I was stood still!

In Alpina tune, BMW’s twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 produces 532bhp at 5200-6250rpm and 541lb ft from just 2800rpm. That's enough, says the firm, to take the car from 0-62mph in 4.5sec and onto a gloriously unrestricted 198mph

Bit of a naff motorbike if you're honest there's not any cars that can keep up a with a good motorbike..... A K7 Gsxr 100 will hit 100mph in 5.4 seconds .... A 20 years old ish Yamaha Thunderace will do 100mph in 6.5ish

^This!
A BMW S1000RR can mug a Bugatti veyron...
-
as above, i have a gsxr 750 and i only weigh 9 stone, so power to weight ratio goes a long way there!
-
Was on a 2000 zx6r, the bike wasn't in the best of health at the time!

On monday night I was having a play with an S3.........I'm under no illusion's, his car was faster than mine (more power & 4wd grip) but down the A road that we were travelling I believe he was more than a little frustrated that my 2.0TDI barge was making him work a lot harder than he was really comfortable with!
..................I thought it was GREAT! :party:

It's my second......Brilliant cars.
This one is a little more sorted (springs, ARB's,superpro bushes and its 200ish bhp) so it's not slow by any means but it's no S3 killer that's for sure.
But it's super comfy and the stereo sounds good. :driver:
