A little play outside of built up areas may be a different thing

V6
0-60 mph 6.9 s
Power Output 204 bhp
Torque 270 Nm    199 lb-ft
Top Speed 146 mph
Weight 1401 kg

GTI mk5
0-60 mph 7.0 s
Power Output 197 bhp  
Torque 280 Nm    207 lb-ft
Top Speed 146 mph
Weight 1328 kg

Pretty even fight on paper, although I think the extra weight hanging out the front would damage the V6 round a track and the extra torque would help the GTI out of corners.

Thats just nonsense... VW Driver magazine when reviewing the Mk5 GTI wayback said that the Mk5 GTI 'totally trounces' the 1.8T 180ps MkIV GTI and was faster than the Mk4 R32.  Maybe on paper the Mk4 4-Motion maybe faster, but no way in real life, from a standing start or otherwise.

well I have owned both those (well an Ed30 GTI) plus an Mk4 R32 as well

The R32 was much faster than the 4mo, and the Ed30 is the same if not a tad quicker than the R32.

I would think a normal GTI would still be quicker, not least with the 4mos soggy suspension and handling.
