Hi guys,

My manager at work has been giving me stick about my rst telling me how there TT will murder my rst in a drag race.
So we have a nice sized yard its about a mile long a half mile wide so i will be racing for about a half mile drag race from a standindg start, the last time i raced a TT it was a 2nd gear start and i won i know the TT will have the advantage off the line but i will pull back in from late 2nd early 3rd gear.
It was 197bhp when i raced the last TT the spec know is:

Piper cam
1658 engine with low comp pistons
fmic
-31
head work (unknown spec)
1.5 bar of boost
im sure it's now around 210-220bhp

The TT is std.

I have the added advantage of doing a couple of drag days at the pod so i have an advantage


PLACE YOUR BETS

 

mmmmm not sure mate ....my mrs TT 225 has instant grip but redlines a 5.5... I took it to work when she first got it and wasnt that impressed....A type R cam up my arse so I thought id try and give it the slip (Not a chance) ended up pulling over to let it past.

If you can set off without spinning then u have a chance....I know mine wouldnt off the mark as its like scooby doo setting off and im running @ 220

 

Yeah i think pulling away will be the key and then mantaining traction in 1st and 2nd!
Good fun though, look forward to hearing the result!
RS Turbo FTW

 

Solid 200-210hp I reckon the TT has no chance, they're geared well but just won't match the grunt...

Over 120-130 you might have problems just depends if he has the balls for it

 

Gonna say RST

fingers crossed you will......can then tell the mrs to shut it everytime she pipes up "mines faster than urs"

 

when mine was on the road not long after its set up at jamsport, running 200bhp, sum clown in a TT225 insisted on following me round until i finally took the bait and raced him

wasnt even close, aside from the fact it was from a rolling start exitin an island and down dual carraigeway, he just got left fallin further and further behind.

i dont doubt a TT would have the edge off the line, but once rolling id say a decent genuine 200bhp RST would be the winner

 

When's it going down ? Today ?

 

if the rst is 210 bhp then it should pull away no problem,
1.5 bar what turbo you running

 

yeh i've driven a few tt's and had loads or civic type r (used to sell honda's)
my rst has beaten quiet a fe type r's on the move, ill have to see if i can get a nice clean launch.

 

Let you know Karlos, cheers

 

120-130 ill be all good as they are limited to 150 mine goes off the clock easy and carries on going but havnt got enough road for 140+

 

 

I'd bet RS. If you get off well in first you'll have it.

 

RST no worries


Are you going to race??

 

same here had mine done a jamsport, good blokes there. yeh on a rolling start i will kill a TT, just hope i can get a decent start

 

should be mon/tuesday next week being set up at oddkidd creations this saturday so just in time for next week

 

thats what i thought poer th ieght and all that, plus the extra 4wd drive chain loss i havnt got. not sure in the turbo looks standard but ex owner said it was a stage 1 not sure what stage 1 is as i dont kno ere he got it from. but its T3 housing.

 

 

yeh for sure not gonna have that, being tolsd a TT is faster than my RS

 

Mate! Get someone to Video it for you!
Will be really interested to see the race!!

 

Yeh good idea will have to record it on my phone

 

I think it would be a close battle but I hope you wipe the smile off your manager's face good luck mate don't forget to film it.

 

cheers

 

Been doing my sums

The Audi is 1455 kg's with 225 bhp so the power to weight is = 156 bhp per tonne
and a 200 bhp series 2 rst is 1080 kg's so the power to weight is = 185 per tonne

so with the extra drive chain loss of the 4wd system i should win. the TT will have the grip off the line but as soon as i get into 3rd i will be gone.

Cant wait

 

Spot on!

 

If you can scrabble off the line reasonably well you should have no problems, a 200bhp rst should murder a TT right upto the rst maxing out at 150 imo

 

All non-standard RS turbos go 'off the clock'.. one of the most unreliable clocks going

I'd be surprised to see any 200bhp rs turbo doing more than a genuine 140mph, and TT's WILL do a genuine 150mph..

If the guy in the TT isn't a shit driver, he should beat you. One downside is they're 6 speed, but their 0-50mph time is sub 5 seconds!

 

Any chipped S2 should hit it's rev limiter, which is about 143 from memory. You will be quicker in the mid range though.

 

my rs when i first got it did around 125 haha hoping for a bit more now,,

i think you should kill it easy,,
cusins bf has a s3 (think that will be near enuf same engine drive train? ) well,, i was mega disapointed in it when he gave it some,, my rs felt fast although the power in the s3 was constaint, not just a wack of boost after 3k,
look forward to hearing the result,

 

He's 'racing' in a 1/2 mile according to the opening post

 

I'd be suprised not to see a 'genuine' 200bhp, thats near enough 200bhp per tonne car hit its rev limiter- i also thought a standard rst 5th gear maxxed out at 149.
An R32 I went to santa pod with not so long ago did mid 15 second 1/4miles- similar power and weight to the TT.
If a genuine 200bhp RST can't beat that it needs a new driver
as for the clocks they work fine

 

smoke um

 

afpmsl at the video

You should have him fairly well if you get a good start

 

When I had a Bayjoo chipped S2 RST in 1998, I seem to remember working out the S2 5th gear would be good for 144mph, that's only the theoretical gearing, doesn't take into account the wind resistance of the car.

 

Which one is gonna need to have the bonnet popped at the end

 

your right it is a 1/2 mile race

 

i agree

 

if i make to the finish line

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!! well !!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.zvh-build.co.uk/contact_m...contact_me.htm
