Scarboroughdub 04-03-2005 07:15 PM

Who cares if it's ugly... it's a track car.
As for speeding it up, track videos usually get pretty boring to watch. I think they just wanted to show off which cars they passed on the track, and they sped it up to make the video shorter

midrange 04-03-2005 09:15 PM

sped up or not.. its still fast

Because the car isn't fast enough to make it look interesting, so they have to speed it up. :appl:

:supergay:

ok smart ass, i'm sure the turning company that built the car knows how much power it is...

as for the video being sped up... so what, it was passing a lot of damn fast cars there... it was obviously just to make the video more interesting, and to maybe fir the song better?

in the end that's one fast FWD golf :thumbsup

im not a smart ass im talking from experience ive built several vr6 turbo vw's, plus i drive a turbo v dub

dont get me wrong its a quick car considering its taking track abuse which is really hard on a motor especially tuning wise. but in the end they did speed up the video.

NOTORIOUS VR 04-04-2005 10:46 AM

your talking from experience eh.... listen... it doesn't matter that you've been in turbo VR's or built turbo VR's.... The fact remains, video's are ALWAYS deceiving... and 2nd of all in this video it's been sped up, so there is no way you can really tell...

That's why you're "experience" gives you nothing here.

So which are these "several" trubo vr's that you've built?

Scarboroughdub 04-04-2005 11:05 AM

hey im not saying its not a fast car, but before i see a dyno chart showing me that this car make's 485whp whith a generous 20% drive train loss which equals to about 580hp then ill be convinced. asside from that Relax your batti VR its a quick car i just dont like it when racing videos are spead up for whatever reason because it hides the true sound and feel of a car, either way its a quick car and i give them props to tuning it well enough to run on the track without blowing.

as for the cars ive built if the customers dont want to disclose their cars then i absolutely wont especially on this cop infested forum.

skillton 04-04-2005 12:08 PM

The car was built by a respected tuner in Switzerland. They have a chasis dyno, which calculates drive train losses, and crank hp. Those dynos sometimes inflate numbers, but a most times are pretty close to the actual hp #.

Scarboroughdub 04-04-2005 12:32 PM

i know where your comming from but i find alot of HP figures from europe to be over inflamed. either way i know what it feels like to be in a car like that and all i can say it is alot of fun :D

1 Fast SS 04-04-2005 04:27 PM

Aha, the guys driving the Ferrari and the Lambo must feel bad getting shillacked by a VW. Fast is fast and that thing hauls ass.

They may be fast cars but can you tell if they were good drivers driving them? A fast car doesn't really mean anything unless you have a good driver in it.
