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.

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 #.

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

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.
