is the polo 6n2 gti quicker than the fabia vrs?????????????

Fabia: 128mph, 9.2 to 60
Polo: 127mph, 8.4 to 60

According to Parkers, it is! In real life, I'm not too sure!

(opens can of worms!)

so its slower in acceleration the vrs fort so!!!!!!

what matters wih the fabia vrs is the torque figure!!
the in gear acceleration is very impressive!!

hopefully at the gti spring festival, i should be putting my ibiza (same engine and torque as fabia vrs) up against a polo gti!!!

we shall see!!!!

Do people find the GTi quicker to 60 than the stock, quoted figure? The Skoda brochure figure for the vRS is 9.6, but I know I wasn't alone along with other Briskoda members in finding it was nearer 8.5. Some had done timed runs with GPS equipment etc.

True, the 60 dash isn't the vRS's forte, but once you got 1st gear out of the way, it went quite well

when i was at santapod (bigbang) there was a girl with the vrs
and she was running 16.6 was her best.

my best in the gti was 16.3 so it will be close!

also my 0-60 times was dead on 8 secs.
on my 16.3 run.


hope that helps.

Depends on many factors:

- person handling the car
- full/almost empty fueltank
- weight of person and/or other persons in car ?
- (how much) faster originally than the 130hp/310nm stated according VAG ? (quite common with VAG TDI's)

For example - I read about a guy having the Cupra D (1.9 TDI PD 160HP) having 184HP already standard (measured on rollingbank). Also I do know a guy with a Polo 9n 1.9 TDI 100HP that had like 15HP more on the rolling bank also. Not to mention my car is faster than according to the specs also... You've got to be lucky I guess ;p

all these "little" things might make the difference, and when the tdi 130 gets chipped the gti doesn't stand a chance anymore, when not it might be close.

VAG TDi units producing more than stock figures maybe a bit of urban myth. I suppose it depends on whose rollers you're measuring on!

When I had mine I recorded 129.7bhp and 229 lb/ft on JBS' rollers.

To be wholly accurate, both the Polo and Fabia would have to be rolling roaded at the same place, so that they were directly comparable.

What can be said is that the 9.6sec 0-60 figure quoted by Skoda is quite conservative. Many standard cars can achieve high 8 figures, which would mean a 60 dash outcome between the Polo and Fabia would be very close indeed.

As said, the 0-60 test will never be the Fabia's strongest card anyway. Do a 30-50 or 50-70 test and then see what happens

No point in comparing the two to 60 mph.
Compare them from 0-100 mph. A standard vRS will do it in the low 23 seconds and high 24 seconds depending on driver ability... due to rubbish first gear.
I think the polo gti is roughly 27/29 seconds.
Compare the two from 20 mph to 100 ... Thats the best one...
Comparing a chipped fabia is completely out of the range of the polo gti.
I reckon once my engine (vRS) has been properly worn in. Currently has 530 miles on the clock, i should be looking roughly at 17 seconds to 100. If not a little bit less.
