I dont own a ctr  :undecided:

Its still a poor power curve with a very short amount of power to use. Hardly makes for a fun drive, power is not everything, how a car delivers it is just as important (why i didnt buy a new S3, soulless engine and power delivery!)

the skill comes in driving around it



the power is still in a much more accessible power band than most cars

Never said they were fast, both a ctr or a remapped gti are not fast cars. I have said a ctr is faster than a mk4 gti, which it is  :undecided:

Seeing as diesel is banned in most major US cities due to how harmful it is, i cant see it being the future at all. Recent test have shown how seriously ill diesel particulates make you if exposed for too long.
