mk5turbo2ltr Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 in a strait line race a 7,000mile+ mk5 2ltr turbo will out-pace an R32 and a type-R i know this cause ive raced both and lets just say i think the civic has had its time at the top long long time ago. when i was at AMD-teckink i was told that at a track day their mk5gti lapped the awsome gti r32 and their TT aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 When I was at AmD they told me in a straight line there is not much between the chipped Gti and the R32, but on the track the R32 was way ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonl Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 One last thing... The Mark V lost to both the R32 and the Civic R round the Top Gear test track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I dont think the TG test track is much to go by. I think all our cars beat the Vanquish and DB7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case buy a Saxo!! Gti - great car, R32 - great car - but both completely different cars aimed at different markets and different types of drivers! I know people with older, less powerful, crappier cars than we drive who would whip our asses round a track or on the road. I doubt any of us have driven our cars to the limit and the TG test track / stig isn't a realiable way to decide which is quicker. Best to consign this arguement to the bin where it belongs.

mk5turbo2ltr Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 yeah it could go on for ages admitedly the R32 is quicker strait out the factory but when u start clocking the miles on the 2ltr turbo it losens up loads admitedly mine is modifiyed and hit 268 bhp on the rollers wiv a remap,forge motorsport atmostpheric dump valve(dont be fooled this only makes noise) KnN apollo induction system and millteck cat back. but i got the cash to blow and wanna look into going crazy wiv a 4-wheel drive conversion if i can find sombody to do it, this should make it better on twisty bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I give up!! You win, the GTi is better, faster, and I'm going to buy one tomorrow........... Am away back to the R32 forum in the meantime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might also try being less sarcastic to other members (Activa) who are only trying to help you by offering information. How the heck are we meant to know you are studying mechanical engineering and does that mean you know it ALL anyway? No, I'm not a Moderator but just a regular who cares.

Chav Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Well said Robin! This is the best/friendliest car forum on the web, and the users want to keep it that way as much as the mods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I only stated a fact because your post implied that it was there for another reason,like to increase power. I'm sure you are doing a mechanical engineering course and I wish you luck with it but myself and my friends have been tinkering with cars for the last 18 years and have probably learnt(often through trial and error I might add)much of what you are learning on your course. Sometimes experience counts as much as the lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamD Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 *sigh* what exactly does it matter which is 'best' surely all that matters is what suits you best at the time? I really don't care if my car is faster than an r32 or a ctr or anything really so long as I enjoy driving it - which i do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
