I think your wrong and I've owned both.

Those figures look sh*te anyway as how can the car with the greater power to weight be slower. :stupid:

Its the other way round bud, everyone is right but you, I stand by the fact that real world R32 struggles to keep up with std ED30, strip 150kg from the R32 and it will stand a chance  :booty:

Some people let the 6pot go to their heads.... anyway, the GTI is more stealth anyway especially when you put a TDI badge on it. There were some lads at a crossing yesterday, i had the windows down. One of them said, "look its a GTI" and as i drove passed i heard another lad say "nahh its a diesel"  :signLOL:

Oh no I'm as wrong as the next man.  :evilgrin:

Ask me which would I own and it would always be the R32 if I had the means to run it.

The GTI sounds like a clattery diesel at low revs, so I can understand that bystander's confusion.

Yup they do and that "Clattery Diseasal" sound leaves your creamy V6 (if you can call it a V6 lol) behind  :booty:

Loving the banter lads.

I had a MKIV R32 and loved it, it felt really special.
I was concerned the Gti wouldn't have that same feel to it but it does.

I actually like the GTi more, can't see myself going back to a non turbo car now.

ok looks like we will have to agree to disagree on that one.... :happy2:

that said the difference is so minimal, as some of those track times show. personally I would have the R if it were not down to running cost. for what its worth I have a ED30 but still do not think its as quick as the R32  :driver:

I had a split diverted valve in defense unbeknown to me   :laugh: and that's a true story as mr vRStu gave me a second hand one to save me spending £50 on a new one... So to answer yes, it did, against a non boosting Ed30  :laugh:
