Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 22, 2005 The Golf MK5 is the only appealing hatch for me at the mo.....Evo can't rave it up enough and that is the only car mag worth reading at the moment...imo! AmD have already got 240bhp chips written for it aswell, LOL! Which puts it slap into Astra VXR territory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maff 10 Posted April 22, 2005 "How quick do you reckon it'll feel compared to the RS? I like the turbo but hate fact that when it's off boost the car is ridiculously slow, so I'm quite up for the idea of a torquey 6 cylinder, especially on the motorway". I dont think you' ll be too disapointed, but turbo cars always feel quicker to me, my vr6 is a k plate, standard and has done 140,000 miles and i could of inched past a focus rs in a bit of a tussle a while back, you just gotta make sure you' ve got her sitting on 4000rpm when you nail it, and forget about goin easy on a 12 year old car, i cant sell mine i love it too much! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted April 22, 2005 I'm sure the 2.0t is better than the old 1.8t unit and a 40bhp hike over standard from amd is impressive. Which begs the question, what will the 240bhp VXR remap to? the next focus st is said to be 10secs quicker round the nurburgring so maybe that will put an end to it, the debate goes on...
