2023 MK8 Golf R DSG (E85) vs Tuned 2019 Mustang GT 10-Speed!

[@tanman7879]

I have a car just like that Mustang. This is the race I’ve been waiting for! Awesome man

[@Challechallechalle]

You guys are so even that’s crazy.

[@Challechallechalle]

I like this channel. It’s relatable haha:) thank you for the videos man.

[@RDriver2.0]

Your R moves out well man for a stage 1 tune but that e grade is helping you top end for sure. You hung right there with that tuned Stang. I wish we had e where I live - gotta settle with 93/94 pump gas....

[@Toymonkeyjr]

yeah we have one public e-station within 50 miles, and our top is 92 so you have to buy race fuel if you want to run certain tunes

[@k00llil4zndud3x]

The R's with a 93 tune are no joke either.

[@deedo773]

the weight difference, awd system and fast dual clutch transmission combined with a tune on the golf really is outstanding! against a 10 speed mustang with a tune! personally i'm cheap and don't like the risk of power mods but i digress. great video showing performance capabilities!

[@ms3ben]

Nice clean runs. Very close! Is this R on a flex e-85 tune or full e-85? I think an e85 a10 GT vs a Stage 2 e85 and trans tune(if they ever become available) R would be interesting to see.

[@JVette01]

It’s on a full e85 tune. And yes, that race would be interesting.

[@chrism869]

not even 20 sec into the vid and the viper decides to make some noise, i was gonna say it hops forward everytime it shifts but i think it just has more rpm ,maybe a bit longer gears to, i dont know its hard to say,. But super close races for sure

[@vebalasvegas31]

Very close race ..but Golf R with just stage 1 E85 low torque that’s insane top end power bro..👍👍

[@JVette01]

This is actually the full torque tune. The low torque one kinda sucked tbh

[@vebalasvegas31]

@@JVette01 ohh yeah I forgot you did mention in video . But still it turned out a sleeper car 😂 good race 💪

[@Youtubelombocustoms50]

very close racing , good to watch, keep it up

[@uhhh684]

Great video!

[@marcopolo6514]

Surprised heat soak didn’t come into play!

[@JVette01]

Me too! Especially given how hot it was

[@Daxter21031]

Very nice. Do you have any idea on when a TCU would be available?

[@JVette01]

Nope :(

[@jimdrivas4949]

I’m guessing the Mustang’s gears at high speeds are more suited for economy than speed and power. I would also guess the Golf R is a bit more aerodynamic and pulls at the high speeds. So closely matched! I presume the Mustang was an automatic. Is the Mustang a 10 speed automatic, like the new ones, or is it too old?

[@JVette01]

It's literally in the title, video, and description lol. Yes, its a 10 speed automatic.

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

I'm not surprised he's like 700lb's lighter if not more on Boost and E85.. The E85 along with more boost can add 200 more HP to the MK8 along with a weight savings and there's the win.. But the Mustang Boosted and Tuned is Next level. We're talking 800 wheel pretty easy but then the trans goes depending on what you have.. Even just an E85 tune for a GT adds like 60/70 wheel.. I know it's expensive but I'm going to do a stage 1 93 Whipple and tune not going to chase number's but if it lands on a safe 680 700ish wheel I'll be real happy.. That's more than enough power to deal with some Downpipes and Boost Tunes.. I know the deal I've had a few turbo Hatchbacks over the years, but the Mustang GT with any Gen Coyote is always going to be my choice..

[@JVette01]

Thank you for watching, but unfortunately all your information is not reality. 1. The golf is around 350-400lbs lighter, not 700. 2. E85 only is NOT adding 200hp on a stock turbo MK8R. 3. An E85 tune for a N/A Mustang GT is like 30-40hp MAX. 4. Yes, obviously a supercharged Mustang GT making 700whp will be able to beat a Volkswagen Golf with just an e85 tune..

[@iKisho]

Not sure what’s different but I raced a tuned mustang well I was tuned on e85 in my mk8 GTI and took him for a walk top end. Interesting.

[@iKisho]

Never mind I just realized it’s ONLY E85. I have alittle more modifications done.

[@b58Narek]

i want to run that GT ! thats very close !

[@JVette01]

Yeah that would be a good one. Too bad you gotta let off at 127 🤣🤣

[@b58Narek]

@@JVette01 true lol

[@RDriver2.0]

He can drive up here to Canada and run my stage 2 MK7 Golf R DSG. I hit 164 and let off with plenty of head room let. I know Stangs are fast sonic would be a matter of who climbs up to 180 first...

[@413CarsDaily]

So funny you posted that video clowning on mustangs and I commented why you racing a convertible lol? This was exactly the video I was looking for. I’m just a mustang guy!!! No matter how bad I want the mk8 it’s just not the same for me

[@jerryelgersman2980]

What kind of draggy numbers on e85 you getting

[@JVette01]

haven't tested that yet. still working on making a review of the e85 tune.

[@Vega5oh]

Put that coyote on e and your gonna be saying MONICA!! 🤣

[@JVette01]

He actually did, and yes, it’s faster on e85

[@Vega5oh]

@@JVette01 e85 wakes the coyotes up big time

[@JVette01]

Yes it does. I had a 2020 10 speed on e85. They’re solid

[@alexistorres9964]

What main mods on this R? IC, DP ?

[@JVette01]

Everything is mentioned in the video and description. E85 tune only. Nothing else

[@TomShirazi]

If you had a TCU tune on your Golf, you would have blown him away from a standstill. Mustang can't put its power down, but your AWD would just rip.

[@JVette01]

TCU tune would be nice. Still would beat him without it though. His tires aren’t the best

[@ThenotMrNiceGuy0109]

I want to trade my truck in for a Golf R. Looks like such a fun ride, and super peppy too! How's the reliability been with it so far?

[@JVette01]

Good. Check my channel for the 10k mile and 15k mile owner review!

[@damienhostey7804]

Crazy how close they are nothing in it at all

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

No remap fir air filter means less than stock power on gt

[@JVette01]

It's tuned currently, so I'm unsure what you mean?

[@MikePoston-io3je]

What would happen from a dig? Have you tried that yet?

[@JVette01]

We didn’t because his tires are very bad and it wouldn’t even be close. Golf r would be done with the race by the time the mustang gets done spinning

[@thatkindasux]

@@JVette01 we need this line up. Where's the ground me for his tires lol!

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

The aftermarket on the Mustangs is endless.. Even Ford offers performance upgrades..

[@samuelfreericks168]

The mustang seems to walk just a little above 130 but still very close

[@JVette01]

Actually the other way around. Mustang is quicker from like 40-120 then the golf starts coming back surprisingly

[@samuelfreericks168]

@@JVette01 interesting it seemed from my perspective at least the mustang started to pull top end

[@JVette01]

@@samuelfreericks168 It was, then stopped pulling at 130+ and golf started slowly creeping. watch toward the end of the video.

Roll, m2. Dig, most likely rs3
