Why does it say you still drive a 08 gti then...

Yeah, love the handling, I was chasing a Miata around some curvy roads yesterday and keeping right on him.

IMO, another really nice thing about the .:R is that it doesn't require a lot of heavy mods...it comes very fine tuned.

I mean unless you want to go crazy gung ho and spend an arm and a leg for a turbo or SC lol!!! I was also very surprised on how low it is on stock form...I was thinking that if I bought one I would have to drop it...I actually like the stock form its a perfect height for DD in my opinion.

congrats on the purchase, nice choice of color. Hope someday I take a break from this modding frenzy and go buy a R32 and be done with it.

 

[gotti]

That's better...congrats...

Congrats on the purchase, I went through the same route, stage 2 GTI to an R! I only miss the power I had before.

Thanks Everyone...yeah the Stage 2 was fun...but man everytime I slammed on the gas the tires spun and spun lol it was fun but in a race..it was driving me crazy from a stop...I have tried with all my might to spin any tires on the R no such luck...just launches like a rocket from a standstill..
