Might I add the GTI weighs alot more and also more standard features

Ok, i don't really know how credible the performance statistics web page (the 2nd one) is since it listed the GTI as doing the 1/4 mile in "17.58 s @ 80.01 mph." Iv'e been on that one before and im not sure how legit. it is, it's got some outragous times on the cars that ive noticed before. it seems like a teenager put it together, but nontheless.

Why is it so hard to believe that a Volkswagen can perform? They have been amazing performers since the intro of the Rabbit GTi. Lets not forget G40-60, Synchro, Ralley, GTX, GLI, Twin engine Scirroco, 16v GTi, VR6. They have been performers for years. And that is hard to believe?

Whoa, chill... im giving u a compliment. I don't watch rally racing stuff, im more of a drag/street racing fan.

I am not getting mad. Just giving some examples of past performers.

Dont forget the Super Beetle!


It was good for its time of small cars..... wasnt it?

I'm just throwing out names... hahah

In the end, our little Volkswagens--one looked upon as a relic, a scrapper looking for leftovers from the "real" competition and the other one as a "ringer," a purpose-built racecar with no street applications--took a couple of the cars to the cleaners. Overall, the 1969 Beetle beat just about everyone, humbling the doubters and overcoming the slow-VW stereotypes, and the mostly-stock 1971 Super Beetle gave the remaining challengers a run for their money, handily beating a slightly modified 2002 Subaru WRX and outlasting the Toyota Supra (who overheated its power steering and dnfed for the day). The performance of our Volkswagens surprised most all of the people there, so maybe next year they won't laugh quite as hard when VW Trends comes to compete.

Those old Beetles were handlers. Slight mods and they were monsters. I personally dont like them though.

I think this is the right place to ask this question. Why is it that V8 line up against 4banger and brag about winning? I think it is kinda funny if you ask me...since most of the time the V8 doesnt win by much. I have just never heard anyone say anything about how much smaller a 4banger engine is to a V8. Sure it cost more money to fix the 4banger to get close to the v8 but you gotta give them props for making it a close match. Just my .02 worth...done mean to start any arguments...I like both and would drive either...just dont know how or why they are always put against eachother.

That sure as hell came out of the blue. Definitely the WRONG place to ask this. So let's drop it where it is

Agreed with self, plus i and many others would tear that arguement apart so don't even bother
