Proof! GTD is slower than a GTI!

[Steve30]

Hi Kev , i would have you in GTD170 mate no problem!! I tested one last sat and was very impressed by it!! Its a very very nice motor and it goes like stink from 30mph onwards. I currently have an Ed30 thinking of getting one due to the fact, i'm pissed off waiting for my mk6gti build week 9. Enjoy mate Steve30

Have you noticed it's only the GTI owners that worry about which is faster

Sad really maybe they have other issues.

wtf you doing on a golfgti forum you boring square dicked cnut ?

Checking you're awake!

If you just said 'Track' rather than 'Road' I'd mostly agree with you - not boring in my world...square kn*b is a new one though!

Kev - a GTI is faster most of the time but not to the extent you seem to assume (having driven both).  Were you by any chance involved in a childhood accident involving a Diesel DSG Taxi?  

Give me a couple of examples when a GTD faster than a GTI.

When you've stopped to fill up because you can't get more than 350 miles from a tank

The GTD may take longer to hit 60 from a standing start but I bet the big low-down torque (same as the Golf R) means it's very close accelerating 30-50, 50-70, etc. It's torque that changes your speed, not power.

Of the two, I'd still have a GTI though.

Thats depending on driver skill with a manual. Still closer then alot of people thought.
and hopefully you dont regually do 100mph to proove its quicker.

To do a comparison like this it HAS to be the same driver and preferably The Stig...no use getting different mortals to mess up the figures as stated by VW you simply have no reference anymore....suppose the DSG Driver cannot properly activate the launch control...or the Manual Muppet switches the clutch at the wrong revs...etc etc...

If we put the Stig in both it is bye bye GTD...any day of the week...rain ore shine...the good thing being that the looser can save a bit harder and trade his car in for the one he really wanted....
