a whole 3 100ths of a second lol!!  i think with enough effort i could get into the very low 16's or even into the 15's as the engine sits.  but in a few more weeks she will be running alot quicker!

Probably a typo or printing error on the timeslip. I have known there to be errors every now and again. 91mph terminal speed, normally equates to 14.5-15.0 sec 1/4 mile times.

Following from a suggestion on http://www.vwgolfmk1.o…iewtopic&t=43032&start=20, here is the official Mk1 Golf Owners club 1/4 mile sprint league table. The rules are simple:

1. It must be a Mk1 Golf.
2. The time must be done at a recognised facility with accurate timing gear, eg sprint runs at a show such as GTI Festival, GTI Inters or another RWYB day.
3. We'll take it on good faith about times but if anyone questions it, then we'd need to see a scan of the timing slip, etc.

I appreciate many members aren't into sprinting (or breaking their cars!) but hopefully it will prove useful, since it always provides some entertainment value and can serve as an inspiration to possible future mods, also it will be a useful reference for what 'package' of mods work/don't work in improving performance.
