  • How fast is the Volkswagen Golf R 0-60? In this video, we're testing out my Dragy for the first time to see how fast my Golf R with a Stock ECU can run a 0-60mph on a Launch Control. My car in this video is only running an Integrated Engineering Intake, IE Turbo Inlet & a Remus Catback Exhaust, non-resonated. No ECU or TCU tunes.
    If you're curious about how fast the Volkswagen Golf R is stock, or just want to see how fast it is compared to your car, check out this video! If you're looking for an awesome GPS timer for your Volkswagen Golf R, be sure to check out Dragy!

    Great looking R! 4.28 sec is the best I've gotten in my mk8 with just lighter wheels than stock. I'd say your mk 7 is running great with just those minor mods done. I use a "Racebox" timer that uses suction cups on the windshield, it has no phone app and a terrible display though.

    I'm currently in the market for a Golf R.
    Test drove two mk7.5 R's one DSG the other manual.
    The DSG felt quicker, especially using launch control, however I found the manual more engaging and fun to drive overall.
    Been a manual guy most of my life.
    What made you get the DSG?
    Remus exhaust sounds good.

    • @MkKevin
      @MkKevin  Před rokem +1

      I chose the DSG because I wanted an automatic daily driver, even though I work from home now. Also the crazy launch controls are loads of fun occasionally. I have no regrets going DSG, both have their trade offs in my opinion. In a perfect world, I would love to own both a DSG and manual R lol

      The Remus exhaust sounds very good.
      Do you get any additional pops and crackles with it?
      I used to have up a Veloster N with an active exhaust that used to pop and bang, sometimes really loudly.
      Was kind of fun, I sold it because since it was front-wheel drive there was traction issues when I stepped on it, couldn't get much traction in a lot of wheel.hop which shook the whole car.
      That's why I'm looking for a Golf R to get the sure footed all-wheel drive traction.

    i ran a 4.5 with my stock a45 amg. wasn't happy so now i have it tuned and it feels so much more torqueier and way better but havent had the chance to draggy it as i just borrowed one for a day to do the stock run. most say 3.8 to 4 secs with a stage one tune for a45s but even though the golf is also a 2 L, i know a few people that get 3.6 effortlessly with the golf r, seat Leon fr, and Audi s3 (same engine in all) tuned, as the DSG gear box is way better than merc's. so you should be getting almost 3.5 in this once tuned and intake/decat.

    • @MkKevin
      @MkKevin  Před rokem

      My R ran about 4.4 - 4.5 seconds completely stock 0-60. When I upgraded the intake, turbo inlet & exhaust it dropped my times to around 4.2 sec. Combine those with stage 1 & 3.8 - 3.6 sec is completely doable. I image it's really similar to the a45 AMG!
