I own a mk2 1.8 golf gti 16v also. The golf will spank my rs on the start, but there RS will catch up once the turbo starts to spin. It'll be pretty close between my 2 cars.

i would imagine you'll have a bit of a weight advantage over the panzerwagen!

Well i got a 15bhp advantage, plus i dunno how much more torque if any, AND less weight.......his car is 8.9 - 60 and ERSTS are 7.8/9 i reckon it'll be no prob (can always turn the boost up as mines chipped with a -31 ) lol
