Great read - it's funny to hear how much they loved the flash w/o any bolt ons! I wonder if they were showin boost of 19psi with a stock intake?

If they would have used a real performance suspension im sure the gtis numbers on the track would have been closer if not better than the r.

Nice read though.

"So, as speeds increase, so too does the GTI's advantage: it beats the R32 to 130 mph by an astonishing 7.1 seconds"

there is no way it takes an r32 7.1 seconds more than a chipped gti to get to 130..someone screwed up

While the R32's suspension is quite good from the factory, it feels like a boat compared to how it handles with an aftermarket setup.

And I think the writer was trying to gauge how a typically modified GTI would perform against a stock R32, not one that's done up with $2500 racing suspension. Hell, most GTI owners just install a set of springs and call it a day.

Well, since its N/A I doubt the impact would be all that impressive.
