Remap the ED30 first

I am keeping my Ed30 for at least 2 more years. But no remap will make E30 as fast as S3, sadly. With a simple 305hp remap S3 is 5.5 to 100km/h and 270km/h top (330hp = 5.1 to 100km/h), not to forget it's behaviour in twisties, uphill, and on wet surfaces. I think white E30 with black rims looks marginally better than a similar S3, but that is weighed up by S3 looking less "wagon", due to it's lower hight (140cm). S3 is sweet. 
I said it is overpriced, it is, but that does not mean I don't want it, I do!

E30 is a sweetheart.  It is great for what it offers. Yesterday I had 3 girls in my car, so finally I had some weight over the back axle, so suspension is now set.  I gave it some, it axed nicely, but it was looooosing traction uphill  and it rolls a little too much, I think Eibach Pro-System Plus is in order.

Any luck with the 3 girls??

There was an S3 at Inters this year and it "only" managed 0-60 in 5.75 after several passes.

Mine got 0-60 in 5.66 and so was faster on the day...mainly down to the DSG I would believe

5.5 seconds 0-62 for a standard S3 sounds good, but achieving it consistently with a manual is another thing.

Round the twisties is another thing though. Man those S3's corner

today caught up with a similar white E30 at a red light, the guy did not see me, his light turned green and he turned left. His rear skirt was black in the middle and instead of 2 pipes he had one big oval. Looked really great!  (he had black rims, of course  )

....In answer to the original post:

True Love Is Forever! Which means that I don't have any plans to sell mine. The Mk6 will have to be pretty amazing on all counts to follow the Mk5 GTI's act!
