Can MKV Gti (non ed 30) beat a prezza wrx round a circuit.

According to 5th gear YES, by 2 whole seconds!

Imagine if it had been the ed30, totally ass kicking!

....Nick, I'm getting worried about you - You're either stuck in the Mk5 maze or waiting for an opportunity to steal one  :evil:

I saw the Fifth Gear prog and was very suprised that a standard GTI beat the WRX and also by as much as it did! :cool:

well well well........ subaru wrx got absolutly trounced. By the margin that the GTi beat it by, im sure that its running more then 197bhp to match the 230 4wd that the impreza has on tap. Imagine with DSG would of knocked a further second of the 1.28 sec lap . Goes to show and take note ALL, its not the ammount of horsepower a car has, its the chassis that makes a car with the right ammount of power to go fast AROUND A TRACK. The ed30 i really think would of beaten the GTi but only slightly, as the handling in the normal GTi is slightly more agile then the ed30. Im sticking to that theory!!! .

I support all MKs of GTi (even MKIII's at a push!) robin but I do have o say the MKV is the first one I have wanted to buy new since the MKII.

its been mentioned in many Car mags, the handling slightly suffers in the ed30. Hasnt got the straight line speed (normal GTi over ED30) but as Henderson says, its way more nimble and having extra horsepower doesnt neccesarly make it quicker round a track
