That is an eternity longer for that golf to get to 130
In the real world at 75 mph it would get destroyed
So that statement is true
Umm, a Golf R is half the price and has 50% less motor, this isn't surprising. More expensive, more powerful cars tend to be faster. News at 11.

And did you just compare a stage 2 car to a stock one? A stage 2 Mk7 Golf R 1/4 mile is around 11.5s but only traps in the low teens, they're in the low 13s range for 0-130. Of course a modified S55 is going to be quicker. The Mk8 will be a little faster than the Mk7, the new Conti turbo is better than the old IS38, but it's still not going to be approaching an S55 or S58 unless it's running over 30psi.
