I am really looking forward to seeing a Golf R ring time. The Golf R32 can lap the Nurburgring in around 8 minutes 49 seconds; the Audi RS4 does it in 8 minutes 9 seconds; and the Ford Focus RS does it in 8 minutes 26 seconds.
If the Golf R can do it in under 8 minutes 22 seconds, then I'll be well impressed. That's would be faster than the old BMW E46 and thus justify its price tag.
I'll go with you to the 'ring in Spring to get a time. You bring your R. I'll bring the stopwatch. 
I'm more than tempted. What Ring time do you think the R would do?
