    It's nuts that this tuned golf r has same P/W ratio as an M5 (341/ton vs 340/ton)
    I would love to see a drag race between this tuned cars to those high performance cars in the previous dyno run video
    Before anyone tried to claim that you can also tune M5. I know that but my main point is even after those upgrades it was ~50k compared to stock m5

    • @PapiAndrey
      @PapiAndrey Рік тому

      It would be interesting for sure. The benefit of the M5 is that it’s a factory car that’s had far more R&D and testing with hundreds of cars. The Golf isn’t a one off or anything, but it’s still an unfinished product and can have mishaps and whatnot because of it.
      That’s the downside you *can* have from tuning. Sometimes you’ll never have an issue

      You've never seen a car that picks up at higher speeds? There's so many performance cars geared to out accelerate people at speed rather than from a stand-still. That RS3 has a meth injection kit, which is what lets it pull harder at the top end, normally the RS3 gearing is long to let it get a high top speed, so stock its geared to be faster down low and way slower up high, the meth kit essentially reverses that.
