EPIC! Both cars are evenly matched if driven the same..petrol for sound and top speed. Diesel for low down torque and economy. Diesels were designed for instant power, moving loaded trains, lorries etc, hence the instant torque, which in the real world translates into effortless acceleration and easy overtaking AND fuel economy. Depends on how deep your pockets are and if you want instant power delivery or progressive acceleration/top speed. Cant beat low down torque in any gear OR the sound and speed from a petrol.

Jamie - Always wondered if you should add a "break test" round too ? I know its a bit "carwow did it first" but cars without decent stopping power - is the automotive equivalent of 'skipping legs day' in the gym!

[@PiOfficial]

Brake tests are moronic. Just comes down to tyres and on higher end cars aero.

[@AK88onCars]

@@PiOfficial Sure - if you ignore: Weight, weight distribution, brake size, number of pistons in callipers, brake bias, size of master cylinder, disc material, pad material, fluid etc. Also a large percentage of cars on this channel are modified middle of the range cars - a brake test those with experience ahead.

[@PiOfficial]

@@AK88onCars the only thing you mentioned that makes any difference is weight distribution. Although it’s so marginal that the variation in road conditions between the two different sides of a track will make it impossible to measure. Stock brakes can take more kinetic energy out of a moving car than any road legal tyres can handle. Brake upgrades don’t affect stopping distance all cars basically stop in the same distance when equipped with the same tyres. If you don’t believe me turn off abs and slam your brakes in literally any car ever made at 60mph and you will lock the wheels because the brakes aren’t the weakpoint the tyres are. If you want to see how much weight comes into it check out how friction coefficient changes with loading on modern tyres. It’s a few % at the extremes.

[@AK88onCars]

​@@PiOfficial Appreciate the educated reply 👍 Your right (at speeds less then 60mph), but only in a vacuum (figuratively speaking) where conditions are perfect and heat and inertia are playing no part. In your example, you also take that standard breaking system around a track and by the second lap - the effectiveness of the brakes have reduced significantly, and the balance of all those other points come into play. Then, a car with a better braking set up, will show up cars with 2x the straight line performance. This applies equal parts to suspension, tyres, cooling, engine, control systems, etc every part of the car. And I guess that's the point I'm getting to, in your 20's you build cars that are "all gas, no brakes". You then take said unbalanced car off the street, and find on most focus settings, it excels at nothing (personal experience, loony numbers in FWD hot hatches - good fun, but flawed). When you're more of a grown up, you build your car in equal parts, as what you then build is more complete car that does better all around. Life's rarely straight lines.

100lb ft more is not Double

[@J3n555]

@@Mr330d does not matter. Hp is hp. 1000ftlbs at 1000rpm is 190hp. 500ftlbs at 7000rpm is 666hp. Torque means nothing if you can't rev.

[@Mr330d]

@@J3n555 so you won’t admit you were talking out of your ass and that the fabia doesn’t have double the torque ? 😂

A rare sight of a modern Golf with a manual, props to him

[@kahukuboy]

Those diesels are hard to control. Torque monsters, that guy had some serious skill to not burnout the whole 1/4 mile.

[@FrmerK20]

no diesel should ever smoke like that, mechanical nor commorail. just bad tuning through and through. nice race though

[@CharlieICEdreamz]

To run those pd130s at that sort of power you have to overfuel them to help keep the temperature in each cyclinder under control

[@thurston383]

No brainier, bhp is rpm x torque, they may have the same power but diesel will always produce more torque, it could be faster if he was burning the fuel completely, shouldn’t smoke at all, it’s black smoke because its running rich, incomplete combustion but they think it looks cool like the pops and bangs

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Great races guys ! ❤ Who ever said diesel is cleaner than petrol 😂

[@garage5125]

might be suprising but modern diesels and even petrols have more emissions than those old ones:-) the fact than you cannot see it or smell it does not mean anything

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

@@garage5125 They said this in the 80s but 5 years ago they back tracked and said diesel was worse than petrol.Petrol was 4 star leaded but now it’s green unleaded 👍

Fook driving that around smelling smoky thing good race tho

[@kubaderda1313]

My sister used to drive red Fabia vRs from 2004. That was a really quick car

[@golf-vi2cw]

I think alot of people underestimate diesels I did until I got a pd170 hybrid turbo etc so much more fun to drive than gti etc and it's always good to see the face on the 15k plus golf's face when you smoke past literally 🤣

[@simaothekid]

"diesel more fun to drive" said no one ever... Specially with the heavier engine on the front, and the horrendous noise/smoke it makes... Any Petrol car over a dirty diesel!

[@walther89]

golfs shorshifter is hell of a quick clean shifts all the time too :o

[@thf1403]

That's edition 35. CDL engine. Same as s3 golf R mk6

[@SoxiArts]

Very good engine 👌🏻 could have reached 400 bhp without any problem 😂

[@kyleriley4915]

Man pointed at the alternator like it was the turbo🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Jay-ty6uj]

Mk4 tdi done it in 13.09 in damp so it’s faster than the gti but similar power to the VRs

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

When shifting, they both let the rev limiter engage for a second or two before they shift. Is this normal? I'd have expected it would be optimal to shift somewhere before the limiter.

[@lazarjanjusevic3]

It's the adrenaline...and in the last drag race the skoda owner just decided to floor it and let the popcorn rev limiter be the "traction control"...it was spinnging up to 4th gear... Diesels are slower to react to throttle input, plus you add a huge turbo with a lot of lag, and monster amount of torque, it's very hard to control and get traction

[@jasonjaques9421]

Still prefer the fabia team deisel 💨💨 thought go out to you jack brother 👌👌

[@christospify]

The skoda driver makes sure hes already accelerating before they both hit the line , so they start at the same point but not at the same speed. We need to have a line 30meters before the start that they have to be level at. Seen way to many drivers do this and it always helps

[@TX200AA]

The amount of smoke from the diesel normally indicates either massive over-fuelling or a blown turbo. The only time I had black smoke from a diesel was from the Yanmar turbo diesel in my sailing yacht, when the turbo failed. In this case if the turbo is new then I suggest that is being heavily over-fuelled and the probably oversized turbo is not revving fast enough.

[@mohammedrucsaal6100]

That short shift made him be able to shift like a dsg

[@WetFire403]

The Edition 35 GTI’s are monsters compared to the normal GTI. If this one was DSG I think it would have done even better. That Skoda is one Dirty Diesel!

[@gasperfantas]

It is hilarious how you can gauge the speed of the fabia by the position of the smoke off the line :'D
