APR Motorsports at Daytona Testing - Garage419 - 08Jan08

[justinbimmerman]

definatly dig the video, I enjoyed APRs grand opening in october it is a very nice facility. I drive an 07 gti and love it. The one con to this video that I have to mention is the lack of diversity in the background, Really 10+ minutes of video how many times can you change the wheel/tire, check air pressure, polish a vw decal and jack the car up. Lets see some diversity in the pits. Thanks for the fun day at the grand opening APR.

get a brit/european to drive.. it will go faster

[mikepartyboy]

what mods were done to these GTi?

The guy said it was all stock?

Looks like they did suspension work though!

Is it only engine, exhaust, gear box that is stock?

[dkeshler]

In Koni challenge, the idea is that the cars are as close to street stock as possible, excluding safety equipment. All cars may run a Koni race suspension, and each car is limited differently in the area of ecu, exhaust, suspension and brake upgrades.

Good luck during the rest of the season. Its about time a VW is near the top in mixed brand racing. I think you guys also have some of the best looking cars out there too.

[MarlinBlueBug]

I am using the APR K04 Turbo with the software & put 215 WHP on my 2001 VW Beetle

[paychex9]

To answer a couple questions:

1) FWD.

2) They race in a weight restricted class, so why debate about it.

To add a couple comments:

1) The cars are awesome.

2) APR has one of the best, if not the best, set ups in all of Grand-Am.

3) APR is one of the best in the industry.

[musliminshallah]

nope, they aint all rwd, ther was an rx8 in ther

[Juttv]

I absolutely love my 08' GTI...great video but I'm curious about Probst's comment, "they're light".  I guess once you trim the fat for race prep (seats, sound deadening, radio, etc.) but in its stock form, its anything but light. Still handles fantastic though, even stock.

Give em' hell team APR!

[DahlemRanger]

nice clip! and another masterpiece of german engineering! ^^

[Davidsnothome]

sweet i wsh i could go, go APR

[MarlinBlueBug]

Well get a VW, Audi, or a Porsche. But it will be so much fun if it comes with a Turbo.

[Davidsnothome]

i will maby 1 day, but isnt everything better with turbo lol

[LukeWhite15]

I actually have a reason to watch Grand Am racing now :-) Go APR!! (Too bad I don't have a VW any more . . . )

[VWBORIQUEN]

looking forward to go to Daytona @ the end of this month. Nice team well done APR

[lvcsslacker]

I thought the GTI's were heavy... hmm...

[Imprezaman555]

All modern hot hatches are heavy but the new gtis are lighter.

[lvcsslacker]

ah, relatively speaking.

[St0l1]

What?? Lighter? MkV GTI=3306lbs, MkIV GTI=2934 lbs, MkIII GTI=2800 lbs....Do you see the trend yet?

Other cars in it's class... MS3=3200 lbs, Mini Cooper=2723 lbs, 6thCivic Si Coupe=2850 lbs

GO APR!

1:19 "diarea on the mouth" ROFLMAO

[notthehulk442]

C'mon 419 I liked the automotive debates. bring them back!

[moriad02]

Yes just my words. If thursday is the cayman test drive, I think it will be over a month with out one. I loved those debates. Only reason why I watch this. I'm not the most pleased watching stuff that just seem like clips you guys taped of the speed channel.

[ovrbst1]

this is so gaysause.

[Donn29]

nice a 10 minute ad.... SPAM

[golfguy11800]

I thought the test drive of the Cayman GTR was the next episode? "You can forget ferraris..."

[Garage419]

Thursday.

[Stookatz]

thats what I thought I'd be watchin.

[dryan2]

coca cola+pizza+red bull+fast cars+the 24 hours of daytona= awesome

[TheMaiar]

I'm not a big fan of VW but I would be if I got to drive on the circuit with one of those =)

[moriad02]

I hate to be the 1st comment and be the guy to tell you I wanna see more of the original premiss of garage 419.

[ChipmunkMusik]

Good Video

Is a GTI FWD or RWD?

[TGseason10]

Golf GTi?

It's FWD. when it's stock anyways.
