Scirocco beating GTI MKVI

A race between hot hatches.
Can't believe Scirocco with lower spec engine beat the MKVI GTI.
Was it the chassis? Or less weight? Or the driver? See it for yourself.

Lighter, lower centre of gravity, wider track, better turn in, wider wheels and tyres and a mk6 driver who leaves the door wide open on corners

Odd they appear to have used a 2009 spec Roc.....unless the footage is a year old.....

Well i own a stock scirocco 09 with only 200 ps and raced a gti 010 spec that has 210 ps and yet i still beat it. I really think that 10 horsepower doesnt make a difference in th elong run but only on acceleration you'll feel it. Also, it depends on the driver really (in my opinion) :yes:
ALL MODS ON HOLD

I think you're right Raffoul.....5% in power makes no significant difference, the fact the Roc is lighter than GTI is likely to make more difference, but ultimately if the driver is a numpty then they can have a Golf R and you'll still beat them....

From the way it accelerates away at the start, I wonder if it's an S Works - I also have a Cooper, have driven a standard S and considered an S Works as an alternative to my Scirocco - the S is noticeably slower than a 2.0 Scirocco whereas an S Works is noticeably faster.

That's an s not a works. It doesn't have the JCW body kit, brakes or wheels. There's nothing in it between the roc and the cooper s performance wise though the mini will be more fun to drive. The roc is a better car all round though and a bargain compared to a mini cooper s JCW but the JCW is faster. This was my car decision having moved from a cooper.

Hmmm that is something I would argue, I had an MCS and it was awful. Hateful thing, couldn;t wait to get shot of it.
Married and Blond, yes. Still a guy with a poor taste in user names.
