That first time, stock block, fine, I can believe that, but stock trans, and stock lpfp? C'mon man, really!? Next you're gonna tell me he's full interior.
If he does, or already has done, an AWD swap then he can't claim a GTI record.
No, they never attempted to say it wasn’t anything short of fully gutted race car, nore did they ever try to lie about the setup and even if they did it really don’t matter as it’s still a 2.0 that has a track run recorded record.
Stock lpfp only feeds a trunk mounts surge tank with a much larger pump in there actually feeding the fueling requirements, if it were say a full mile run then at that point I’m sure you would see the stock lpfp get taxed to keep up, but for a 1/4 run the in tank lpfp would be doing light work to fill the rear cell.
Iroz ran that 9.5 years ago in a stock dq250 trans with the upgraded clutch’s also though, so it’s not hard to believe that part either.
Either way if you want the record for 2.0 mqb gti you’ll have to beat 9.771. His latest post noted that he’s running a bigger turbo and the tires he’s showed still have some skinnies too, so if he’s still FWD and trying to get it faster that 9.771 may not be the bench mark for long.
If it’s any consolation i still would give your car the personal trophy regardless of the 1/4 times cause it’s not white and it’s still gonna have 3 pedals and requires your right hand to work!
