New VW GTI

[spidey07]

Man, it's got a really nice sound to it.

Still got smoked by a sedan.

All bark and no bite IMHO. I haven't driven one, but I'd like to. My fast makes it hard to maintain a relashionship.

lost to which sedan?

 

[spidey07]

Let's just keep it at "it sounds really, really nice"

I was really impressed by the sound. It does sound incredible.

I'm looking forward to what they (after market) can do with this motor.

-edit- that's now on my to-do list....drive one. I can yap all i want on a message board but in reality my opinion doesn't mean squat until I've driven one.

That being said, it does have a nice mean sound.

I'm not sure if they can chip the GTI yet, but I know that the chipped 2.0Ts in the A4s are getting almost 250 horses instead of the standard 200 (with everything else left stock).

Edit: There you go.

sweetness.

thanks for the link. Looks like these guys can bring the "fast" up to spec and live up to the A4 legacy.

nice. Not bad for the price. I will drive one this weekend. It's got a sweet sound.

Yeah... I picked up someone else's fast on the highway yesterday. I think that it jumped when it realized that it was sitting in an overpriced Volkswagon Golf, and wanted to find out what a REAL German sports car is like

Was just about to post "It needs to be chipped".

Out of curiosity, what do you drive? No I'm not being confrontational.

that thing weighs a whole lot... I'm sure that slows it down.

OH SNAP!

I like the commercials...

Crate
Trebuchet
Wrecking ball

I had an '84 Rabbit GTI long time ago.

I drive an Audi A4 with the 3.0 V6. The performance numbers are similar, but the Audi does it in style.

Besides... If all you want is cheap speed and horsepower, I'd think that the Subaru WRX is still a better buy.

I wanted to get the R32 from last year. This new one I'm not so sure about...

Oh Subaru WRX! I like the GTi but not as much as the Subaru.
