Sorry, but this was a test made by the german magazine "SportAuto" which do the
best tests and track driving.
And here the Golf GT TSI was tested with 7.2s (0-100 km/h).
Greetings, Naflord
These performance data have been done by testing of the magazine "SportAuto",
the other one is just copied by the manufacturer.
So you should delete the other one.
Thank you,
Naflord
P.S. Could You change Volkswagen into "VW" and 170 kw into 170 hp?
90% of other car performance data are manufacturers claims. Therefor we should
stick to them. If I delete Heyhuubs Golf again I will upset him, if I delete
your I will upset you.... eeem.. I don't want to upset anyone :D What should I
do? Maybe a forum poll "Manufacturers data vs Magazine data" could help?
OK. Till now all the performance specs are manufacturers claims and so they have
to be. However i opened a poll in forum to see our few member's opinion. If
majority say that we should stick with manufacturers claims or noone bother to
vote at all, I delete this VW Golf and add a new rule in our Rules Page
(http://www.fastestlaps.com/rules.html) that says - "Car specifications have to
be announced by manufaturers" or something like that. If majority says "No, we
should include Magazine data" than I will add a new field for 0-60 acceleration
and top speed as tested by Magazines or TV Shows. Car uploaders then will be
forced to post their reference links in comments section.
Top speed as tested isn't really necesarry because not allot of magazines test
top speed, things like 0-100mph and 1/4 mile times could be interesting.
Yes. 1/4 and other acceleration figures could be useful even for WIF (Which Is
Faster). Also 0 - 200 km/h is a good figure. But not all cars have it tested.
This car has been dynoed by three different magazines and got 190+ hp in all the
measurements.
It revs 7400 rpm and the powerdelivery is just so entertaining it makes me laugh
each time! I prefer it to the GTI, the engine is more fun, the weight is quite a
bit lower and the suspention a little softer and gives much better everyday
comfort but still worked very well at the Nurburgring.(with 19" wheels) The new
160 hp MK6 is according to EVO magazine clearly less fun than the original GT
MK5, the new one dynoed in at 168 hp.
