Figures I've just robbed from www.carstats.co.uk

Mk2 Driver:
Weight: 938kg
0-60: 11.5s
1/4 mile: 18.4s

Mk3 8v GTI
Weight: 1150kg (no sniggering at the back)
0-60: 9.9s
1/4 mile: 17.5s

Straight line performance doesn't seem too far apart but he shouldn't be getting the edge on you, more vice versa
