Mk2 0-60 times?

What are the official 0-60 times for the Mk2 8v and 16V?

Cheers
Phil

 

for the 1.8 8v GTI up to 1988 8.4 sec
for the 1.8 8v GTI 1988-1991 9.3 sec

for 1.8 16v GTI 7.5sec

thought i've quoted these from Haynes MAXPOWER VW golf so i dont know if they are correct&nbsp ;

 

I reckon they're all testacles...

The 16v certainly isnt 7.5 as standard. 8-8.5

The 8v is more like 8.5-9

 

Here's the actual specs for the 1990 Mk2 Golf:

8v0-60 in 8.3
16v 0-60 in 7.9

All depends on the driver...

And what the "standards" are,

e.g. Having weight of passenger, fuel etc

TT

 

wow, my 8v seems faster than that [:^(]
never mind, still annihalates(spelling ) everything round this way

 

PHWND!!!!!!!

certainly, certainly

 

16v 7.71
8v 8.53

Thats the times i had as standard!

 

parp.

Load of bollox anyway.

Did they have pavarotti driving? did they have a full tank of fuel? blah blah blah

 

8v 8.53

my car really goes that fast???????????????

 

Think ill go and test mine the now on the public road with my stop watch, very accurate, back in a minute!

 

As Zoid says, these are the official VW specs; and as pointed out actual figures will change due to car condition, driver, weight etc...

Of course, mine will crack 60 in 7.8
