really? they look bigger to me when I look at one! must be the wheels / supsension playing tricks on my eyes.
Jeff - I know what you mean. Park it next to a standard one and there's less differences than you think. B'Locks -Are you perhaps wearing out an already very thin joke? Yawn.
The bumpers can actually be bought as 'R Line' accessories and fit any Golf - they even do an exhaust-cutout-less rear bumper so diesels can have it. I fear we will see a lot of sad imitations in the enxt few years...'M3 replica' stylee. The arches are the same
Yep, i must admit a R32 looks good for a standard car! the thought had crossed my mind about getting R32 bumoers for my 1.8T but then i thought well i have got a r32! and i dont want people think i am making a replica R32!
The other factor to consider perhaps is the 0-62 figure is only achievable by using 3rd gear same as my Mk2 GTI! However since having new VW software uploaded and the AmD270 conversion I have seen the 0-60 drop to low 5 seconds! (using laptop software) perhaps with a more accomplished (lighter ) driver this could be high 4s?
Whatever the figures are (which are good) , they are damn quick. Anyone arguing with that is just daft. Some woman in the US got 13.8second 1/4 in her standard R32 (with video proof). That is quick
I was surprised to discover my Audi A4 TDI only weighs 1240kg! Must be all that 4 wheel drive and v6 cobblers! Cheers, Drew.
That sounds suspiciously light - About the same as a CTR. Are you sure? Off to do some fact finding...
That's what it says in the manual and in VW Driver's stats too. I can only assume they're reasonable figures. Cheers, Drew.
Got between 1385 and 1400ish depending on where I look. Made sure it's the 1.9 not the 2.5 which weighs a lot more. I'm sure you'll prove me wrong though! Equivalent BMWs are about 1400kgs. Here's one site: http://motoring.reuters.co.uk/reuters/vocmain.jsp?lnk=203&id =226 Gets very good reviews on all sites!
EVO 8?! Different type of car altogether. Service it every 5k, do 150 miles on a tank, looks pants, 20mpg max, terrible interior, look like a well off Chav, etc etc. Lovely to drive but not my cup of tea, nor many others. Case not rested. This has been done to death before.
