Henny 0 Posted March 11, 2004 The R32 is another car that suferes a bad 0-60 isnt it because of te same second gear plight as a G60 box? thats why i would love to see standard V standard VR versus G60 on a standing quater with the same driver. timed. not a race so less pressre and less chance of error. proper comparitive figures of cars tho. would be quite interesting i tihnk That's what the standard VW figures give... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted March 12, 2004 I've got lots of close gears AND the power and torque too! instant power at anything up to 120mph,(which is more than enough speed for anyone) can't wait to get it all fitted in the Corrado. No I bet you can't mate :-) Is it me or is your 'to do' list at the bottom of your signature growing?! The only thing I don't like about really short gears is the power band feels like it's been narrowed, in other words the extra torque coupled with short ratios gives a much more instant and harder kick, but over a shorter time....but if you don't mind swapping cogs, then it's not really an issue. I just prefer to stay in one gear and ride the wave of torque. I find the VR's standard 4th ratio particularly good for that! K Despite the short gearing, there's nothing to stop me getting into 3rd pretty early and using the torque. I don't have to stir the box all day and rev the knackers off it. it just means that when I do, the engine is always bang in the power band, and it pulls like crazy in every gear.
