The good thing about the GTI is that it doesn't feel turbocharged, just torque everywhere
its quite funny i think as my mate bangs on about his 215 horses now he has CAI and when i leave him on a blast he always maintains he had to slow down for something in the road or another excuse! makes me laugh every time i see him, probably why he doesnt come to play with me any more
I dont reckon it would. to get 250BHP out of a CTR you would have to do alot of stuff to it. most of the maps on them dont increase the HP that much as they are normally aspirated. They normally bring the RPM much lower that the VTEC cuts in.iirc to get good power out of a ctr you need a turbo upgrade and then they become weapons. Even if it was making similar power BHp wise to a stage 2 GTI, the GTI would still out do it, due to the huge torque differences due to being a turbo'd platform.
I know that from a standing start his is definetlty on par with a mapped gti going to 120mph.
cant see a standard golf keeeping up with ctr, but i may be wrong
from a standing start very very even. around twisty roads the golf wont need to be revving like crazy to go fast, so i think the golf would have it.
