Polo Classic 1.8i 0-100

Post by JonoSmite »

Hey guys,

I am still a student but would like your guys opinion.
I have a Polo Classic 1.8i 98, when I do a 0-100 test it seems very slow compared to what manufactures states.
A full service was recently done.
The time I get is round about 15.0s

Do you guys have any suggestions ?
On what RPM should I launch ?

Thanks so Much !!

You're driving an old car and you're wondering why it doesn't meet the performance specs released almost 20 years ago?

Really?

Take your Polo to a Dyno Tuning. 0-100 test on the street is not the way to determine if your car in under performing. Hope you get the answer you need from the Dyno Graph. Thanx
