People keep sleeping on these Golf R's but they will embarrass a lot of sports cars at the track, great runs brother.

Niiiice! That 60ft on the gt350... Impressive on the R!

Nice work man.

Hey man, idk if you realized it but I think some of your launches are too abrupt; I know my MK8 takes a second or so to fully build boost for launch control (only reason I keep the "boost gauge" on, to make sure its at 100%)

I’m excited to get mine and when it’s available I wanna go stage 2 e85. I’m sure these cars can run mid to low 11s no problem stock turbo

Good job 👍 👏

Pretty impressive stuff ! Stock my S3 did 12.8 @ 107. But weather was 68*. So far I’m Stage 1 93 (No TCU available), best is a 12.1 @ 114 in 75* weather!

That’s nice! Might have to look into that once I can finally tune my TCU 😭

There was a mk8 R at wild horse in Phoenix when i went recently and he did 12.6 @ 108. He said it was stock except for intake. My is38 GTI with a Unitronic tune did 12.4 @ 111 on slicks which was a disappointment. Their tune doesnt stack up. The launch control is laggy so the best 60' it would do with a dead hook was 1.97 and the slicks at 8 psi killed my trap speed too. But it was a fun night.

Did you notice a slight loss in power between the first and second gear shift when launching in Nurburgring mode? I’ve only launched mine twice in that mode but feel like the 1->2 shift lost some power compared to launching in Race mode.

@TW-ld6qh

I haven't noticed any loss of power between first and second, but since I got tuned to Uni Stage 1 + my car does hesitate a bit once it launches, I assume to prevent wheel hop. Really ruins my 60ft when it does that. From what I've noticed, my fastest passes were with Nurburgring mode engaged compared to Race mode.

@@TW-ld6qh good to know! I don’t have a draggy so my two launched in Nurburgring mode could’ve actually been faster than race. Is your 60’ time slower than stock? Or is it just not quite as quick as it could be?

Yeah. I blow them away with my Golf R stage 1 370hp 500nm. Most Mustang drivers don't even try. They are just show ponies with their V8 noises but nothing much to back it up with.

Nice, that guy in a mustang must be upset and impressed by the golf r, imagine with a tune, that stock mustang would be left in the dust, s3 is kinda like a golf r just different body style and etc, golf r looks better in my opinion. If it was cooler weather, i mean it was night time, it would probably do 12.4 or 12.3 at 110 or 111 thats my guess. a tune will probably break it into high 11's, the golf r defintely punches above its class and i would have it over a focus rs and type r anyday of the week

Still an amazing car, probably in my opinion second best to the r32 golf mk4 and mk5 but yeah. This gen of golf has been amazing.

Congrats on that GOLF R Jvette. I was very busy for the last 2 months and just saw you sold your MK8 GTi and bought MK8 R. Last month I bought a Tesla M3 Performance. My son's Stage 1 DSG MK8 GTi can't keep up with it. :)He said, that he will be working hard and be saving for MK8 GOLF R now. Do you think MK8 R tuned Stage 1 or 2 can match Tesla M3P in 1/4 mile?
