Against my 300bhp coupe? haha. Hmmm. I know torque is a big influence but would need to see it to believe im afraid...

I still cant believe you're even asking what would win out of a 300bhp Coupe and a 1.9 TDI....family car! Yeah the TDIs are quick, standard they're faster than the average car you meet on roads and remapped, with suspension mods theyre in hot hatch territory. But 300bhp Coupes? I dont think so. Maybe in a rolling start situation the tuned TDI would be ahead slightly, say in third with the throttle planted. But then it would be time for the next gear- when the petrol keeps going all the way to the redline and past the TDI!!!
300bhp is ALOT to put through the front wheels though, doesn't it struggle to get it all down? Even mine does in 2nd and 3rd when its wet!

My brother has a MK4 GT-TDi 150, let me tell you, it goes like fvck. It also handles now as he's fitted an Eibach suspension kit. The torque of this thing has to be experienced, it's rediculous. The various "chips" available for them increase power to the 200hp mark, but it's the torque that does it - around 320lb/ft.
My brother is quite into the Golf scene and there are a few stories of these tuned TDI motors giving some "hot" motors a run for there money.

There you go, you've answered your own questionh2ypr said:
But that depends whether you count the Coupe as a Giant or not. In a straight line, it's fast. Round the Nurburgring, although I did have massive brake fade, I couldn't keep up with my mate's Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 8v.

320lb/ft? You sure ? Thats like over 400nm of torque? I got my car RR'd today and the bhp was low but the torque was 370nm and thats 278 lb/ft. Going back in 2 weeks hopefully to get that magic 300!

Ross you tart of course your coupe will beat a Diesel golf stop asking silly questions just to talk about your coupe you big showoff!
stop asking silly questions just to talk about your coupe you big showoff!Damn. Found me out!!pinin__prestatyn said:Ross you tart of course your coupe will beat a Diesel golf
I genuinely was interested tho. Cause this guy i know is making big claims.

Ah come on your coupe will chew it up and spit it back out. I've never lost to a diseasal. Especially not some golf! I'd have to kill myself if that happened.

Sorry, got that wrong
, should have been nm, but that was wrong too, it's 370nmObviously, yours will be faster, but in real world driving, the low down torque of the diesel is a hoot!
Diesels are rubbish and I laugh at there slow heavy asses trying to keep up with either of my cars as a new Audi A3 2.0TDi found out on A34 the other day in my Cinq, the guys face was a picture, but this could change my mind if it does well

Yeah
i had the misfortune of driving a 2.2 Vectra turbo deisel recently it was utter rubbish, i just hate the small rev band, and lack of puff at the higher ends of the rev range, and they may produce loads of torque, but in such a small rev range its makes for a crapola driving experience.Also driven a Golf Mk4 GTTDi and a 306 turbo deisel, both were horrible compared to petrol counterparts which were 1.8T golf and 306 GTi6 which i have driven.
Some may be fast in a stright line but you seen how heavy the diesel engines are, stick that out front of a FWD car and then watch in amazement as it understeers its way round corners, then you try and put the torque down and it gets lost as the tyres loose traction on the exit so you hold off for longer.
