Sorry to pour cold water. Speed thrills but dangerous.
In our Malaysian boleh road, nothing or many road gives you a 8sec / 100kph, unless you do on a rally track.
In my younger days at the Federal Auto, I did once did a x sec/100kph on a volvo turbo. The thrill gives, but when I recalled back after that event, its really shudder. In that split seconds, (unless you are a professsional) anything could happened.......
Behind the wheel, think of your famalies......really not worth the 8 seconds thrill.....
But nevertheless, the Vw golf is a well built car.....for driving pleasure......
My 2 cents...
