It's about 45 minutes from the I-25/I-70 interchange.

oh...for some reason i thought that was the track thats way the hell out in nebraska or something.  looks like I'll have to start going up there for track days.


and ian, according to google maps, HPR doesnt exist.  sorry.  i found where it should be, but alas, nothing.

Oh that's right... you're the kid that had the 350 HP 1.8T with just bolt ons, right?

And APR software ... get it right 

What does the worlds fastest 1.8T have to do with it? 

I thought ian had the standard boltons and what not. If its just a stock engine w/ suspension and stuff, thats a bit different.

I don't think so... I seem to remember him mentioning the fact that he could get his car to XXX speed in turn 3 at PPIR on a basically stock driveline....


Ian... correct me if I am wrong....

The motor is mostly stock, turbo and internals are anyways.  We've added lightweight pullies and flywheel, GIAC software, Samco hoses, custom FMIC, stock (ducted) airbox, A/C and secondary O2 systems removed.  We're dynoing at 226/261, corrected.  Most of the work has been in the suspension, and we've gone beyond bolt-ons as there is not a lot of after market support for the MKIV as a racing platform.  We've also gotten the weight of the car, empty, down to 2417lbs.  In terms of braking, except for the custom brake ducting, everything is bolt on (StopTech up front, ECS V2 rear).

3 years ago ~ish, I did one pull up at Bandi, it was 14.7 at 96mph and a 2.6 60ft.

I'll hit 120~125 into turn 3 (actually, it's turn 5 that comes into the infield) at PPIR.  HPR I was running up to 130~135 on the back straight depending on the run I got out of 3.

ian, you could go much faster.  all you need is...
