Amazing 26 post and the Gti troll is gone. Go with a safe bet in any race and get an Enzo.

i'll tell you something about my experience with gti. My friend only has a reflash and intake while i have pulley, flywheel, intake, catless midpipe, exhaust, clutch, short shifter. we ran the quarter mile and he beat me by about 1/4 of a car length. I was suprised how fast it is in the staright. but in the curves, i'll leave it in the dust.

juss your pick whether you want a drag or track car.
Ya, I had the same setup as you do peter. One of my good friends has a Mx-5 Miata manual turbo thing. Stock it would beat me by 1-2 cars leg by 60 3 by 90. With all the things you did(which I had a week ago), we would stay head too head till 60 and by 90 he'd be 1 cars length ahead... Then I got Racing Beat's Race flash and I have a 3 car lead on him at 90. Tuning seemed too give me the biggest jump, although I'm sure all the other small thing I did helped.

Edit: oh ya GTI's are gay, R32's are okay. I test drove one and was happy with the low end torque but felt like a fat guy eating popcorn when I tried too take a corner.
