Ford PP2 is :impressive:

:gorf: runs low on the list, it would have been slotted third from the bottom in this year's trials. I don't see why people trackday Gorfs and GTIs as much as they do, makes little sense to me:

:225: tires is issue #1. If you could put 265/275 squares up on that breadbox it would cut 5 seconds of that time

Slanty H has more aero drag than a straight one :sad:

No really though that's a pretty poor showing.

That 2015 was the non-PP model. The PP is higher up. Everyone loves the PP.

Really though that XDS faux diff can eat a dick.

These guys aren't pro drivers. And IIRC the first Mk7 GTI they tested did not have the PP.

One thing that's nice about the Motor Trend comparos is that they have Randy Pobst do the track times. And I think that new brit for them has racing experience as well.

:225: still. It's the bottleneck like you mentioned. The silly part is that the fender design doesn't allow for much wider then 245, which practically speaking isn't too bad. If they wanted to do better they'd need to change that spec. Gorf sits stock on 235s fyi :hubba:

Apples to apples :doe: not every gti has xds. Just goes to show that there isn’t THAT much different between the models and why when people want :something different: and an egg is an egg it makes some sense

I’m curious how bad a civic sport hatch would do on there, the chassis is the same as the R which did really well.

I think those humongous 20s on the CTR are 255s :notsure:

The CTR also has a well thought out but very performance oriented suspension setup all of which help it slay on tracks. I bet the civic sport does some GTI like times.

R has revised mcstruts to reduce scrub radius or something.

I combined your two posts/thoughts. Ok so the 245s and nice rubber impact times, but the Sport wont have that, so it probably trackdaybros like the GTI base IMO. Totally a guess but it leans on your :225: philosophy.

Yep, those wheels + tires + the diff for the CTR is worth 80% of the delta, 20% is likely the power. Just interesting to see how capable the chassis is with proper tires.
