comparing the 170 DSG golf against the 170 S-Tronic audi. No idea why the golf is slower.

But comparing the petrol models the golf gti is a heck of a lot slower at 6.9 compared to 5.6 for the A3 Quattro. In fairness though the A3 squeezes a lot more power from the engine.
Pom

Pom, with 4WD [Quattro] it's possible to get more power down on the tarmac without overworking the TCS or spinning the wheels; that's why the Golf R can handle 275PS, which is produced from the same 2.0TSI engine that is in the GTI with 210PS. It's also why the A3 Quattro can be given more horses.
