what the hell?????
How did the GTI get acclerated by the MK1??? Must have been a 2.0.
The MK1 GTI did 0-60 in around 9.7 seconds and road and track got 6.7 seconds for the 12v VR6 MKIV.

the gti must be a tdi or somethin

and the mk1 must be tuned

In fact, I showed my dad the video and he expressed the same surprise. He has owned around 4 MKI's and said that in no way can that MKI be faster than either a 1.8t or a VR6.

I watched the whole thing. I would have to agree with there argument on newer cars weighing more...that would be due to all the safety features that are on them nowadays. Mk4's are certainly no rabbit in terms of stock 1/4mile launches. Rabbits are much light but also more unsafe. So really its a tradeoff. At least the MK4 wasn't blown away like some of those other old school cars.
Of course, I have love for both new and ol' skool.

Heres my ol' skool ride.

Cool vid. That cosworth rules

Mk1 v Mk4.....power to weight. The Mk1 probably had the old 8v and the mk4 had the 2.0 8v.

Im not that car saavy but was this n/a vs turbo? in most of the runs?

Re: OLD SKOOL V.S. NEW SKOOL (V-dbl-U)

it was a 1/5th of a mile run. the 2.0 would have been left for dead much worse. the mk1 can launch much harder and the mk4 didnt have time to spool up and pull ahead. mk1's are faster than you might think. i whoop on mk4's daily

Re: (1.8Tease)

pit that mk1 up to the power of a 1.8t or 24v and its a different . and put a mr2t up against the new one and the tables would have been turned .

The best of both worlds...

A stock 1983 Rabbit GTI runs a 10.6 0-60, and a 17.7 1/4 mile. Even a 150HP AWD MK4 runs a 7.4 0-60 (these stats are just from car-stats.com), so how the hell does the MK1 pull on the MK4 the whole time?
Something is fishy with that for sure.

Re: (Kem)

i think they forgot to take out the 450 pounds of camera / audio equiptment out of the MKIV and is it a 2 door golf or GTI?

 

[A1pocketrocket]

Re: (technofly7)

Re: (technofly7)

must have been a VR in that mk4, because the 1.8 can never lose
