4 Sec Golf R

This beast is going to kill any 135 and 1M on the road

Wowsers, wonder if he had it tested or just guesstimated and rounded down to the nearest second...

[Moocow]

if it does 4.0 flat, that is a very quick Golf.

A shame it still looks like a hair dressers car

[Eddie135]

Even the C63 AMG black series does in 4.2s to 100km/h

[Nugget]

4 flat is slightly optimistic, but possible. A stage 2+ DSG one can run into the 12s.
This stage 2+ S3 (same mechanical package as Golf R) did 4.5 to 100 and 12.7 quarter while it was having issues with the tune.
I had a manual stage 2+ S3 and wish I had taken it down the quarter, but the clutch was starting to slip by the time I got rid of it.

+1
one VW forum guys had a R36 tuned engine + turbo(s?) in a R and he didnt do 4. Heck of a car tho. The launch in any of these DSG tuned R would be quick and all good rides nonetheless.

Vinney should chime in. I thought I saw he did 3.7sec somewhere

[adrian@vishnu]

My WRX does 3 flat on the way to a 1.58 60 foot and 11.0@125MPH. A flat 4.0 0-100 would not take much if you got a good launch in a AWD car with around 400hp and reasonable weight (13-1400kg). Don't the new GTRs do 2.8?

meh! still just a golf....

There was a guy on VWWatercooled (in fact, this may even be him) who used some sort of GPS-based device, a Vbox I think, to measure his 0-100 times.

From memory he got mid-low 4s with just a Stg1 ECU tune. At the time, he was as surprised as anyone to get such an impressive figure.

I haven't read his thread for ages, but if we take that comment at face value, then a full exhaust and complementary mods should result in something around the claimed time.

I'd still like to see it with my own eyes though.

Variables are too large though if you don't use the Performance Box at a drag strip. I wouldn't put a great amount of faith in the results unless it was done at a drag strip

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]

low 4s is pretty standard for these Golf Rs, I've been tuning them for a while and they get great results...

trap speeds on the qtr mile aren't as high as say an N54 which is inline with their lower KW count but AWD + DSG + Launch control is very conducive to fast 0-100 times.

BMR has a Golf R project car in the works too, might bring it to the drags next week

I think it's time for some BMW vs VW grudge matches. I seem to run into Golf R's all over Sydney that want to have a little fun and most only have a chip. Can you get your VW and BMW crew together so we can hit WSID all together (preferably private day).

lol.
tune only Golf R will do 0-100 in high 4s if DSG... i.e. 4.9s

Yeh I don't think I'll have all mods finished by Aug 8th, but Aug 15th should be just about there!

I agree they are quick, they're just not fast and torquey like the N54.

Let us know when we're going.

Yeh definitely, the KO4 will start to run out of puff in the higher gears when the N54 and it's wave of torque really starts to shine.

Maybe with giac stage 2+ extreme, but not on apr.

I was actually in the market for a Golf R until I started reading VW Watercooled and they kept referring to the 135i as being the superior car. I'm now in the market for a manual 135i instead
