AWE TUNING WORLD RECORD: QUICKEST VW K04, DAILY DRIVER, BEATS BIG TURBOS

April 9, 2011, Rising Sun, Maryland:

WORLD RECORD: The AWE Tuning in-house Mk6 GTI broke new ground again at Cecil County Dragway with an 11.87 second ¼ mile. This time is the fastest quarter mile time (at the time of this video posting) to date for a TSI K04 powered vehicle, outright. A separate run produced a 120mph trap speed, which also makes this car the fastest top speed in the quarter mile, on record, in it's class. The AWE Tuning Mk6 GTI, which has been a commuter for select members of the AWE Tuning staff (and has even donned a car seat at times), ran with off the shelf G.I.A.C. software, and no prototype parts or engine modifications.

So, going to deploy again... ehem... might be hitting you guys up for a K04 upgrade this time^_^

[Sideler74]

wow, great job!

[AXO335]

Awesome. I am curious what times they are getting with pump fuel?

[ina04gli18t]

Awsome runs! I didn't see any mention of a clutch upgrade. I don't imagine the stock clutch will last very long with that kind of HP & torque increase.
