I think this thread should be closed for the following reasons:-

1. An astra should be compared against nothing but a wheelybin

2. The fact that your friend has an astra

3. The idea that it sounds like a VR6???

4. Its a bloody diesel!!!

Enough said i think! :angry:

The official figures for the Standard GTI will never be the same as a road test result. The VW Driver mag road test managed to squeeze a 0-60mph of 6 seconds dead for the manual, but only managed 6.3 for the DSG version, albeit one was in the dry and the other in the damp.

I wouldn't exactly say you would blow him away in the 888 , If thats what he has if you watch this video in the link below the 888 is tested against a petrol xvr astra. They are pretty quick !

Somehow calling a 888 a stock diesel is a tad unfair (not that you did), the 888 has been highly tuned and as such still was slightly beaten by the stock vxr, now to make it fair put a oettinger or apr race tuned GTI against a 888 and I think you'll find the reuslt would be way in favour of the GTI,

Bottom line is, need to compare apples with apples as it were? :grin:
