Your avatar is quite appropriate.

And I'd take a Koenigsegg One:1 over a GTI any day of the week :lol:

Really no hard feelings, man. I'm not trying to raise anyone's blood pressure. For some reason you just think your way of viewing vehicles' worth is superior to someone else's, that's all.

Your dead-set on performance being the only factor that matters and you were being rather obtuse about it, calling anyone who sees the situation differently a noob. So I decided to use your own tactic of implying only one aspect of cars matter and obtuseness but applying it to aesthetics.

I would prefer a lambo over the GTI. If you wouldn't, that's fine, no one is insulting you because of it. We good? :cheers:

I just find it hilarious the points you are arguing. I agree the GTI looks like crap, that's why I don't drive one. But that's personal preference.
It's an amazing platform. And looks can be changed with body kits and such.
The fact is sports cars (and especially for racing) are mostly all about pure performance. I'm not talking about looks, at all.
Racing is and never was about looks. But you are comparing a 50k car to one that costs more than 4x as much.
The fact that it beats supercars in a straight line is impressive as fuck.

We've gone through this before...

Actually you did raise one new point.

Sure they can, but not enough to make the GTI look anywhere near as good as a majority of sports cars.

I assume you've never heard the term "sleeper". Not everyone wants a flashy car.
Anyway, quit trolling OPs thread. This is about VWs :cookiemonster:

I have but don't see how it's relevant. I don't care much about the racing aspect of a car that I'm going to be driving on public roads let alone the surprise factor of how fast my car is.

Cause VWs are fucking AWESOME  :blewmeanie:

I was just responding to you saying it looks like a Prius and it's not a real sports car.
Let's see those videos of a Prius beating Lamborghinis and Ferraris and high end Mercedes.. oh wait.. it can't.

Do you wait for a reply and after it is posted edit your posts every single time you post? I hope I don't get banned for "trolling" considering you have provoked me back into the discussion.

I just noticed this as well

I'm not talking about hypothetical situations. Talking about the real world here brah.


Yes well I, the person who originally brought up the "If I had to chose" card, am talking about a hypothetical scenario in which I could chose between a GTI or lambo. I personally would chose the lambo every time. If we're talking about the real world, I can't afford either, considering I just got a new car earlier this year.

Exactly. I said it looks like a prius. It's physical appearance is similar to a prius. Why then do you continue to say

? I said it looks like a prius not performs like one.

Speaking of Prius... here's a video my dashcam recorded on a canyon cruise with the local VW/Audi crew. :lol:

As you can see, we love Prius drivers.

There are few VAG car guys on here myself included.

And then I got the 2013.5 in which they changed the location of a bunch of shit, so I don't think I can even use an aftermarket DV without swapping turbos.. in which I don't think there even are any yet.

Should have waited a year and jumped on a MK7.. the power from them is disgusting.


That's with just a stage 2 tune and downpipe
And just a preliminary tune too.. wait until the tune wars begin
