Unless that MK6 is tuned to at least stage 1, the MK7 will win. This is how I understand it:
stock MK7 > stock MK6
stage 1 MK6 = stock MK7
stage 1 MK7 > stage 1 MK6
stage 2 MK6 = stage 1 MK7
stage 2 MK7 > stage 2 MK6
K04 MK6 > stage 2 MK7.
My understanding is the MKVII has exactly the same turbo and 2.0 TSI engine as the MKVI, with factory tuning to get the additional HP. If not, then what's the difference in power plants?
The point I am making is that if a tune is the only difference, then once you go aftermarket, the playing field has been leveled and basically the cars are on an equal footing.
Is my assumption wrong?
theres a few who are running low 13s high 12s on there ko3 fastest ko3 time was 12.6 but that was with slicks an 100 octturbos are not the same in any way. if anything the mk7 can run a larger intake. there is no MAF sensor. also the yeah same "2.0T" but the gen 3 motor in the mk7 has variable valve lift. its makes more power compared to the gen1-2 to the current gen 3. even on stock dynos the mk7 makes way more HP and TQ then the mk6.
"Well, our own development vehicles see the 0-100mph sprint in 11.2 seconds (on road tyres with regular pump fuel). To put that into perspective the older generation of 2.0TSI in the MK6 chassis needed a turbo upgrade and Stage3 software to get to that level of performance" REVO
this is directly off the revo site.
yes the mk6 k04 can take a stage 1 mk7 I know cause I have both platflorms. the mk7 tuned is no pushover the mk7 flashed ecu, stock bolt ons, is already a low 13 to 12 second car.

I heard there was a local guy who blew his turbo on his stage 2 mk7. :yikes:
Easier to compare trap speeds to put it in better perspective. He was achieving between 107-109mph traps when he got that 12.6, so it can be assumed that from a roll, anyone with similar mods and on 100 oct is capable of hitting those trap speeds. APR Stage 1 Mk7 is trapping around 110, so it could be said that the Mk7 has a slight advantage over the stage 2 Mk6, but for all intents and purposes, that's a drivers race. Even at 3mph, that's really fucking close in my books.
Just my paper racing $.02
This race is not even close. While dyno numbers look close the power runs out up top on the mk7. But 09GTIJoE is 100% right about them not being a pushover either. Id be willing to bet a stage1 Mk7 is a more composed car on the track than a k04Mk6yes the mk6 k04 can take a stage 1 mk7.
Does APR really claim 110mph trap speeds? Thats like 330whp which is sick from just a simple reflash.
Edit: Holy crap they do! 13.189 @ 110.40 MPH thats crazy. Weird how the hp numbers don't add up though APR claims 291 WHP that supposed to be good for 103-106 MPH unless that DSG makes magical things happen. Whats more crazy is that the Stage 1 Golf R is doing 12.07 @111.74 MPH.

You cannot correlate trap speeds and 1/4 mile times with certain power numbers... it doesnt work like that at all. Even on the same platform it is sketchy because enough attention doesnt go into what track, time of day, weather conditions, and tires being used
