Volkswagen GTI 0-60 times
Out of all performance specs, nothing but Volkswagen GTI 0-60 times can better speak about the vehicle's temper. While horsepower and torque blow smoke in the eyes, GTI zero to sixty specs and average time to run a quarter mile are pretty straightforward metrics allowing to compare against its competitors.
Very often there is no chance of doing GTI 0-to-60 test personally and making conclusions from the experience of the other drivers is the last thing you want.
Conducting a trustworthy test drive requires following a strict methodology that is intended to eliminate the inconsistent circumstances like weather, tires, surface, engine temperature. It is always better to leave it for professionals.
Increase Horsepower
The cold air part is also important in making more power. Cold air is denser and contains more oxygen molecules than warm air does. So if you can get cooler air into your Volkswagen GTI engine, your car will be able to mix more fuel with that air, making more power. Combine that with the more air through the larger and less restrictive filter and intake tube and you can see up to a 15-20 horsepower increase. K&N has even reported an estimated increase of 56.96 horsepower out of the 57-2571 intake for 2007-2009 Shelby GT500!
