Strange result. According to this they do 14.1 at only 106 mph 1/4 stock because they weigh almost 4,000 lbs with just 400 hp. Torque to weight is even worse with only 369 ftlb. Do we know what's done to it because as far as I know to get any significant power out of it you need a S/C.
And on top of that I have to assume since you're talking about a stage 2+ Golf R tuned by UPsolute that has such strong tunes (right?), it's gotta have at least 370 hp and more torque than the M5. As far as drivetrain losses, Golf R is still ahead by quite a difference AND it's got DSG?
Yeah In that race I know they went more than 1/4 but I have the impression that M5 was already barely ahead from the 1/4. Also, stage 2+ Golf R can't trap under 110 mph.
So we have a car that's faster in the 1/4, trapping higher, it's got better power to weight (both hp and torque) even with drivetrain in the equation, it's got DSG... something doesn't add up.. So, what's done to the M5 other than a tune on a N/A car? :smile:
Nah, Golf just raced with 2 cylinders. Or the M5 has much more done to it.
PS there are no freak cars or magic mods and witchcraft. Something either works or it doesn't, sorry.

It makes no sense at all.
Yeah, I bet the R's dashboard was lit up like a Xmas tree.
So, either the M was stripped (don't think so) or either you or him aren't telling us everything.
I myself trapped about 106mph 1/4 mile (vbox) on a street with crap tires and about 380lbs driver and passenger.
I didn't miss anything I'm talking way before he let off. When he let off it was already long after 1/4.Btw, once the m5 puts a car length on the R, the R lets off and i cut the vid in case you missed that.
Forgot to mention the m5 owner took a shit before racing. Now you know everything.
There is another explanation, Golf driver is a Sumo champion and counts for 3.
Come on OP, you realize what's going on here doesn't make sense. The same almighty R as you say that ran neck and neck with a tuned 335i can't beat a N/A car that weighs like south africa, I repeat a car with far worse power and torque to weight, may have a strong top end sure but what I see here is the R getting walked, no top end no nothing it gets a short AWD lead and then it's rape all the way.
My 2nd link mentions 109 mph 1/4 trap how much do you think your friend does? Remember stage 2+ Golf R is anywhere between 110 and 116 mph. So he does what.. 120+ ? :lol:
