first gti

revs up to around 5500 ish. It's so smooth the speed is deceptive.
Great cars, very underrated.

That's not just the GTI its the GTD also and a MK 7 trait imagine, as you can easily be caught out if accelerating in mid range. Cruised past someone the other day as lanes widened from 2 to 3 to just position self from the masses and Ooops, had to have a double look and rein it back in, genuinely had no idea.

Getting the R as want to have better pull away etc but once up and running the MK 7 pulls so effortlessly and smoothly that its real pleasure to drive.

Hi guys, I picked my gti pp manual up on saturday and decided to do the prep work myself, Its nearly finished just a few more hours and I am there...Just wondering what can I expect in terms of performance ? and whats the best way to drive the car ..meaning the rev range and gear changes, I am running the Gti in right now so under 4000 revs but what can I expect from 4000-6000 if I go into this range ?

You can really see the detail as black can look awful if not pristine, but if can look after it then its a great colour and added to by the touches of red and the Santiago which think give it a real lift. If not had GTI before you going to love this so once put some miles on it and made some of own opinions then do share.

Can't beat a shiny black GTI for looks- shame they don't stay like that for long

Seems you are quite keen on the detailing....it already looks great.
