Default Twin Turbo R32

This came from another VW site i copy and pasted it

Hi guys…
I am always amazed on how fast news leaks out. I am very proud to release this teaser to the R32 enthusiasts on the Vortex.

We took our R32 to CA last week for an official Motortrend shake down. Temperature at the California Motor speedway was 110f. We ran a DOT Dunlop street tire, and had pump gas in a full tank. These are standardized requirements for Motortrend.

Here are a few pics I snapped of our car just after the test. The only mods to the cars exterior where the addition of 18x8 BBS RC (my all-time favorite wheel) Hagus mirrors and a larger rear wing. The car sits on KW VI on the front and a special VIII rear drag shock.




With this suspension set-up, we nearly smashed the all-time fastest time through the slalom, but picked up a cone. The clean run that counted was an amazing 71 miles/hour

I maintained the stock R32 brakes, only cross drilling them. I had been so impressed by their performance, I went on a hunch that they would stop this 3600lb car in ample fashion. They did not let me down. (13.1”front…10.1”rear, an absolutely incredible stock set-up. 2piston floating front caliper)

60-0………..107.7 ft wow! ( GT2 Porsche 107ft)
100-0 ……..302ft


Now for the good stuff!.

for a video clip of a 3.2sec-0-60 run & 11.4 ¼ at 121

We set the fastest 0-30 reordered by Motortrend at 1.01sec
Chris Walton and John Kiewicz of Motortrend were the official drivers.
This car was punished all day and never gave up an inch.

After this, we traveled to Irvine, where we strapped this to Garrets 4 wheel dyno for some “official” numbers.

With air intake temp of 40degrees, we pulled 409 at the wheels ( 575crank) and with air intake at 60plus, we pulled 395 at the wheels (545crank). Everyone was truly impressed. A copy of the dyno sheets will be posted on our web along with all official results within the next 10days.

GUYS, this R32 in stock trim is a HARDCORE machine and virtually bullet proof! We are working on a more affordable 400 hp kit that will offer 4.2 0-60 runs. I am so inspired after this trip. I would love to see everyone smacking the world’s super cars around like this and will concentrate my efforts on reducing the costs of our kits.

Time to KICK Asphalt.

Let me know what you think!
Marcel

-----Other stuff later in the post-----
We changed the gear set inside the 6spd.

2nd 72 mph,
3rd 128mph
4
5
6th 212 mph

Motortrend tested the ENZO and got 0-60 in 3.14 . In our R32 0-60 3.2. I am sure that they coul have hit 3 flat in our Golf. Our short shifter was not up to snuff and they had to make granny shifts on the back to back 3.2sec runs.

That would be believable for an automatic, but here....

prolly a typo, kinda sux that the car cost way to much to be that slow, they have single turbo 12 valves in the 9's with less than 600 crank hp. 24v = over rated ......twin turbo on a vr6=overated

Who has a single turbo in the 9's???? the fastest i have ever seen is the EIP VR6 that is only in the 10's???

But i don't think that the 24v is over rated, i think it is going to be monster of a engine.

However i do think that all HPA stuff is overrated and over priced. This kit is 20-25k over the price of the car. FUCK THAT
