Anyone know the manufacturer's claimed 50-70mph times on 9n's?
In particular the 1.2 55, 1.2 64 and 1.4 fsi?

That makes no sense.

It takes less than that in my turbo diesel :D

Yeah but, Dino your 1.4 tdi will have more torque than the 1.4fsi! and torques what you need for pulling away 50mph-70mph.

No doubt people will shoot me down in a ball of flames!

Yea sorry, made a typo and didnt make it that clear.
I meant in fifth gear.
Did a few more runs - best i got was 10.3 secs 50-70mph

Be interesting to know what times you guys can get with the different engines.

1.9 TDI

50-70mph = 8 sec
50-80mph = 12 sec

Wasn't accurate mind, and trusting my memory, so you might need others to confirm these times.

Whats the specs of the FSi Polo BHP are they 8v/16v and do they come in 5 door, any1 have pics of them outside and inside.

Didnt like the shape before, but seen a couple of members black 9ns here and they look so sweet.
