That looked like one hell of a ride! I'd love to be behind the wheel of that little rocket

I've been in a MK2 at 160 MPH. Not an experience I'd be anxious to have again.

If this is the same Golf it was running 8.60's with 100 hp less in this video. Looks like it would give some of the faster GTR's a real hard time. For an old 16v I'm sure has has a bunch of money in that motor. Looks like his useable power is not till 5500 or so. Since the tach runs out of numbers I wonder what he is shifting at?

49psi? Holy **** balls!!

Welcome to the world of big turbo imports. AMS used to run 55-59psi on their silver drag car. 49psi through anything with a VW badge on it though that doesn't shatter upon pressing the accelerator is impressive.

They need to bring that thing to TX2k14

I am guessing it would be limited because of gearing so the 1/2 mile events might be better suited for the little Golf. That car has zero aero so even if it could get to 230+ I wonder how dangerous it would be. It appears to have no problem attaining 186 mph in a timely matter though.

Watching the left side speedometer was like watching a tach. Good Lord! That is just insanely fast.

Do you think the driver knows he's going to die in that car? That looks absolutely insane, especially with the steering wheel shaking back and forth at such high speeds. I'd probably shit myself.
