Over priced for a track car in my opinion, not where I would put my money for a million reasons.

Considering a test was done on two mk4's, a 1.8t at 260 and the 3.2 at 260 and the 1.8T was a tad quicker round the ring... Just food for thought, for that money you could heavily tune a mk4 1.8t or choose something else that would work a lot better round the track and leave you with a bigger grin.

Also ignore the obsession about 0-60 times, that's just for launch. A car  with a superior 60-100+ time will molest a r32 easily especially round a long and twisty track, either due to torque or weight production compared to the r32 in mind.
