Hi,
i have just drove it the last few weeks, to cold for working in my small unheated garage. All together i have ride a bit less than 2 t km.
we have made some new G-Tech runs last weeks and after two year of wating for breaking the 15s amrk i have done a 14,909 s ( a bit downhill, so in fact it is still something around 15,0 s
) The best run was done with start in second gear, but this is nothing what my clutch likes, but otherwise i did not get any traction in first and second gear.
I would assume that i could get a bit faster at higher ambient temps, because the grip level at ~ - 10°C with sommer tires is a not high as it could.
here are the stats:
200 m (1/8 Meile) 9,8 s @ 126,9 km/h
400 m (1/4 Meile) 14,9 s @ 152,9 km/h
0 - 100 km/h 7,60 s ( 6,90 s mit 30cm Rollout)
0 - 120 km/h 9,60 s ( 8,90 s mit 30cm Rollout)
0 - 140 km/h 13,10 s (12,40 s mit 30cm Rollout)
0 - 160 km/h 17,05 s (16,35 s mit 30cm Rollout)
40 - 80 km/h 2,39 s
60 - 100 km/h 3,36 s
80 - 120 km/h 4,16 s
100 - 140 km/h 5,53 s
We have also measured a BMW E46 330D with a 5-speed-auto, which is f..cking fast for its 1700 kg. In fact it has the same time on the 1/4 mile, as my VW with (nearly) equal power and 700kg less weight. The G-Tech shows that the acceleration does not rise below 0,3g during shifting from second in third gear, while during my manuell shifting is rise always down to 0,05g.
At least my T3/T25 adapter cracks again today, i have allready bough another one, this time from the UK which is again stronger than the one before. It seems that the new adapter is from the same manufacturer than my T3/T3 adapter, whichs also cames from the UK. Unfortunately the did not offer this type a few weeks ago.
As an intermediate conclusion i have to say that i am really confident with the update overall and that i love the new engine characteristic, which it spectacular upper top end.
Here are two pics, were the crack can be seen:
Best Regards
P.S. If i am not to lazy i will post some G-Tech pics later (Golf und E46)
