Tintop & Cabby weight difference

i don't think lowering the front tyre pressure like that is of benefit over all.

What sort of times would standard Hardtop & cabriolets GTi's get on the 1/4 mile?

Standard GTI 16.4. Standard cabby - around 17.0-17.4?

think youll find it does matey!!
my buddy races f1 side cars 170mph+ as the passenger, now theres an extreme sport
he reckons even a lb pressure can make a difference!

front tyre pressure is important on powerful cars helps get the traction you require

interesting how the tintop and cabs standards times are so different

wasnt a great dela of difference between mine and deans 14.1 to 14.6

ive done somthing right    

do we have standard o/60s for both as well
just want to see how much quicker mine is from standard!

oh and im booked in for a rolling road, my first, for my bday!

didn't say it wouldn't make a difference. i only lower front tyre presssure if the tarmac is wet. a lower pressure will give a bit more grip on launch but create more drag. hence my opinion. raising rear tyre pressure, i agree with(on fwd cars).

drag effieciency of a lower pressured tyre v grip. hmmmmm

flat front tyres = phat looking front end
