What is the fastest polo G40 quarter mile time ever in the world?
i'd like to know for:
1. road legal polo g40 (or g40 powered vw's)
2. full race/drag setup for g40
i cant seem to find anything on that on the net....
any help would be appreciated
fastest one I know of which still has the g40 engine in it is yoof's car which did a 12.5 at santa pod earlier this year.
for a polo thats pretty awesome.
A 12.5 sec. quarter is a very very quick time for any front wheel drive car regardless of it being a Polo.
Get in there Yoofy! ;)
what time was that 20v rear engined one running? anyone remember?
I think it was running 11's. Very fast - but only in a straight line.
aye i can imagine lol.
yea he got it down to low 11's but to get in the 10's your talkin real money!
once i get a diff am hoping to get a road leagal 13's
my mates just bought that polo ;D only problem is the guy wanted to keep the 450bhp engine so we just finished putting a normal 20vt in it an mapped it, should still be fun with 212bhp though, will be at santa pod next year woohoo
Is it me or is the fact that Yoof has suggested a Club g40 vs Clio sport and all of a suddden the coinsidence of a new user with '182' in their user name make you think that someone is on a 'reccy' asking this question :D :D ::)??

Well it was worth a guess - just very coinsidal i guess!!
My apologies for thinking you were a french owner deagan182-RSA :D (no offence Yoof ;D)
Haha, no worries, it's happy coincidence!

Mine isn't road legal there (running slicks) but I did drive it 150miles there and back with that suspension (and Hayesey in the car) 150mph+ on the way down was abit sketch...
As for quickest road legal, I think either Duncan (G60 1341cc) at 13.99 or Andy with low boost turbo at 14.0 - both cars are capable of mid 13s in road legal spec.
For years the Polos did badly in the 1/4mile, always saw fast G40s pulling mid 14s at high terminal speeds- with recent suspension developments (subframes) and decent LSDs (I use Gripper) and some sticky tyres, you can make a G40 hit 60mph in about 4.8s:

The screech it very piercing in the car, but you just know it's alllll grip ;D

oi, I don't make that much of a difference you cheeky twat :D
thanx guys for the information...but i think 12.5 is a bit out of my league to get wen i finish my mk1 golf.
and yes im from south africa work for a race track in Cape Town (Killarney) as a drag racing commentator.
and im building a 1.3i supercharged golf mk1 for mid next year to take part in our legal events wer times matter.
and i was at the track watching Elton Scullard do a 11.45 with a mk1 golf 2L 20v N/A.
are there maybe time sheets available for the runs....as 13.9 would be do-able
much appreciate the response
