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!!! .

Based on what??  :grin:

I can only speak from experience, having owned both std gti and now ed30 and having covered 12k miles since October 2007 to date in the ed30 that the std is defo not more agile and no I'm not being mine is better than yours, just stating my own experiences. :rolleyes: I have found both cars chassis to be thoroughly fanbloodytastic! :evil:

....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 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.

Nick


....So do I. I even wave/thumbs-up at other Mk GTI drivers :nerd:



I'll have to give you a ride in my Mk5, Nick - Just ask me next time we meet :cool:

For some reason i quite like the look of the new subaru impreza but it would deffinatley have to be a WRX STI....not just the WRX...that ofcourse if i had to choose...i think il stick with VW and my soon to come R32 for now  :cool:

i think the new impreza is f000kin mingin, older shapes were so much nicer but are abit chav now. as for the handeling between the ed30 and std gti i thought they had the same setup?? same brakes same shoks and springs same arb's same weight (pritty much) same siza wheels  so why would one out perform the other around corners?? :huh: std of course.   :smiley:
