0-60 in 3.8 & the ¼ in 11.9 @ 114 with just a tune

Might not want to tangle with one of these between stoplights.

They're fast. Raced 2 Golf R and it was neck and neck, but my car is stock.

So from a 40 roll we should be stronger, right?

A crotch rocket will dust everything on the road stock for a fraction of the cost of any of these cars....

It's a golf!!! Lol ... Really we are worried about this?

Worried? I was making a light-hearted joke, while at the same time respecting the little thing with just a tune.

Apparently you're too snooty to throw a little props to anything without a rich man's price tag?

I love GTI, I had one back in 2000 when the 1.8t came out. They are super fun and can only imagine this new little monster.

I hope I'm never so pretentious that I don't appreciate a Golf running 0-60 in under 4 seconds, with just a tune.

This place is a joke.
There's one local here and it's no joke. He runs at the track often. I ran him from a roll with my headers and tune, and we were dead even. That was 2 years ago. He got the bottom end built now and running low 11's in Florida weather, would probably hit high 10's with cooler air.
Here's an older video, check his channel for more recent runs:


The owner is also a cool dude, and a true car guy that appreciates the AMG's as well.

I almost bought a 2015 GTi. Really nice little car. Feels much more expensive than it is.
One really dumb thing about it... No USB ports and the proprietary cable for your phone is mounted inside the damn glove compartment.

The new GOLF R are impressive. but, Im pretty certain the CLA45 guys will make quick clean up of them..

I saw a new Audi S3. Same motor as GOLF R, with down pipe and tune that was running very fast. It looked like it would be very close with my car up to the 1/4.

Coming from a VW background, this puts a huge smile on my face! The Golf R is awesome and they can be very fast with a tune and bolt ons. Don't sleep on these lil beasts!
