Well to let you know I did a rough calculation of my power to weight and it comes in at a healthy 406bhp/per ton..
It's all just pub talk though if you love it go drive it and enjoy it.
It's your money and your choice what you own so why worry?

When i spotted your car on the 62 i instantly recognized it from about 10 magazine shoots, and i was hoping you where going to take off when you came past, i should have floored it a bit, so you thought i was thinking i could take you.  :driver:

Nearly as bad as the leon cupra owners  :grin:

Has anyone of us tried to compare our cars to an ED30? Im under no disillusion its quicker in the dry and rolling!

If i wanted a quick car i wouldnt have gotten an R32 (why does everyone think we believe we have really fast cars?) It simply perfectly suits my needs untill i move out of london (i use fast starts so a 300bhp fwd hatch doesnt suit me as well as an easier to use 250bhp 4wd hatch)

I never said the gti or ed30 are lesser models either, far from it, they just offer something different. The GT is a lesser model, its supposed to be hence the lack of the 'i' after gt.

I agree :drinking: - The GTI/Ed30 and R32 are sister cars and neither is 'better' than the other - They are each slightly different versions of an excellent car and we each buy whichever suits our individual needs and desires.

Willy-waving is such a waste of time. :rolleye:

Thats absolute tosh. Thats like saying a R8 is less of a vehicle because it doesnt have the "S" part from RS4. . . .

I hope you dont believe what you just said... All things considered I do believe a R32 was beaten by a 1.4TSI or whateva its called. You should be the last to judge all things considered.

just my two cents, i have a GT and have no problem agreeing with the fact it is a "lesser model" in the golf mk5 range, comparably!

I'm sorry but I agree the GT is a lesser model than the R32/Ed30 orGTi hence it cost less has less power lower spec etc
It's like the SE spec cars are lesser models than the GT
You can't really compare the R8 to the RS4 as they are completely different models and do completely different things
If someone said you can have an RS4 or an S4 would you consider them the same?

No one said it was a lesser vehicle but like I said earlier it's down to each individuals requirements,funds and practicality.
I just think people need  to enjoy what they have and realise not everyone likes or thinks the same.
After all that would make life a little boring and we'd all be driving boxes..
As for the so called beating was it really a race?
And after all it was only an old MK4..lol
Just my opinion of course... :grin:

The thing JPC is that it is not lesser....

The GTI, .:R32, Edition 30 and GT's are all the same car. Its just the trim and engine that varies.

1. Your cars build quality is the same as Jules right?
2. Your car came from the same factory?
3. You car passed the same quality tests as the R32 etc go through correct?
4. Your vehicle was designed by VW? The same blokes that designed the GTI, R32 etc etc.
5. Your car is a MK5 is it not?

Then how on earth is it lesser compared to any other MK5? Jules is comparing Apples to Apples and because yours isnt as Red/Green as his he sees it as lesser. Thats rubbish and narrow minded in my opinion.

Now.... On another level...

If you had a Polo and Jules had a .:R and he said the Polo was lesser I would agree. Its a different platform. Different design and is a completely different car for a completely different market.

Once again. Here things change because you are comparing Apples to Grapes. There is a difference. Its like comparing a Veyron to a Porsche.

Am I making sense?
