Vxr would leave most vws on the road...fast cars...the badge has a poor rep over the years but seem to be getting their act together now
what is this jibber jabber you have typed?
From a standing start (on a private track) I kept up with an astra vxr. I have a DSG and his was a manual. I didn't beat it as such but neither did the VXR "leave me on the road"
They are quick cars but so are the modern GTi's.
I have not had a vxr beat me as yet... in fact the last one i went passed i even managed to find time to wave and see the passenger laughing at his mate driving 
.:R Power FTW
Revo'd GTI now mate

although the R32 had them nailed end of.
tbh he was probly laughing at your overpriced overweight golf

couple of facts;
an astra vxr is more powerful than a new gti and is lighter, also better looking.
as for the new R the focus rs is quicker, lighter and better looking.
all in all the new golfs are over priced and boring.
please dont confuse these facts with me defending vxr's as i own one or that im jeaolous of the new golfs as this is not the case, I am mearly stating motoring facts that MANY snobs(particularly on this site) overlook and it annoys me
