My Golf is so low powered and heavy that it falls off the bottom of the
chart, so I added some power and took some weight off. ( added 3bhp, took
off 40kg)

The numbers actually seem quite accurate. Golf Ragtop - as slow as a week in
the jail. Zzzzzzzzzz......

I don't believe that, not in the least, well, not when it comes to the
Rangie anyway. The BMW is probably reasonably accurate but I'm not sure
it's that light.
