Exclamation



Did you hear that BOV? It sounded like a "whip lash" and dam... that engine pulled hard and it got lift, i thought it was gonna popp out of the engine bay and walk down the street. Dam, it sounded mean, very pissed off similar to a v10 or v12... car is sick, very very sick.

No. All R32's are made in Germany. Normal state-side Golfs are made in Mexico.

Yes the R 32 are here, and yes it is made in Germany, but why pay 32,000 for a car when you can have an evo or sti. The R 32 runs between a 14.9-15.1 1/4 mile the same as the 1.8t golf. It does not have enough hp for the new awd, waste of money. Just my .02

you put 500k into an evo i will be willing to bet it would do nines and could fly....
OR you buy a 360 modena and build the motor and turbo it for around 250k then you buy a 200k house to put it in and you buy an evo RS for 27000 put 3grand into it and have it as your low 12's DD and then have 20k left over. thats what i would have done

I personally think the reason for that "Made in the USA" sticker was because some of the parts and the tuning was done in the USA? It doesnt make sense where the car was built because its not an american car. my 2 cents

FIRST of all what u been smokin when u say a R32 runs 14.9-15.1 quarter mile yo i think u inhaled too much. I got rid of my GTI VR6 24v 6 speed for my Evo i considered that GTI R32 plus the tunning by EIP i seen that video like 4 months ago i spoke to EIP personally and that kit is not STREET LEGAL thats the end of that but they are going to be offering a kit that pushes close to 500 whp and BTW the kit u are lookin at does push out 600 WHP that is an insane number and it should be very very quick considering that the TWIN TURBO R32 HPA from CANADA is doin mid 11's with 460 HP I LOVE GTI's but when it comes to modifying cars there is no better car on the market right now then the EVO plus to hook that R32 to run that much HP u need the whole engine built u need to change the differentials and a whole lot of other **** it will cost you 30-50 GRAND easy to put out 500 WHP i dunno if its worth it but for someone somewhere it will LOL peace

http://www.europeancarweb.com/firstlook/0305ec_r32/ here is one sight and this actually tested an average of 14.8 on the 1/4. I am not talking modified, I am talking about a stock r32 off of the dealership parking lot to the track. Yo maybe I did not inhale enough.

I believe they disconnected the 4wd for the dyno.

wrong wrong wrong. The built quality of the R32 is top top notch add to that best customer service ever and a limited edition car that sounds amazing. the EVO is not an every day car and no where close as the R32 reliability. by the way your numbers are wrong I hope you did not get them from the same site that says EVO runs 14.4??
