You gotta love the lotus carlton. Is it still the fastest production saloon car ever or have I just made that title up?

Always nice to hear of 'uk-polos.net' Dubbers whooping some ass on the road hah :Â¬p

I know ive got a MK5 polo gti, but i was wondering, seeing as you guys had the times for 0-60 on your cars, would anyone know what mines supposed to be ?

i really havent a clue.

What I don't often admit is it's a bloody nightmare to keep on the road (cost wise and reliability) and bottom line a total money pit but hey I haven't found a better way of getting a huge grin so its staying in my ownership....

Polo's are sooooo much cheaper to maintain, modify and generally have a lot of fun with - they (8V's) just lack a little ooomph - GTi in 2006 and I solve that too!!!

Parkers.co.uk have a list of recent cars 0-60 times, I think the GTI will hit 60 in around 8 seconds.
