gti compard to the rest of its hot hatch class....
faheem:
was wondering if anyone here has had any experience of driving some of the other cars in its class like the megane r26, civic type r, ford st, cupra etc
as i am preety much new to the club and car in every sense it would intresting to know how people compare them, i was really set on getting a megane r26 but ultimatley for me its the comfort, practicality that goes along with the performace of the gti....plus it seems preety simple to tune from what i hear.......
anyone had any experiences of challenges at the lights? any good races? i dont think from what ive read the gti is up there in terms of speed wit some but it bloody well feels alot quicker than what the stats tell me!
Poverty:
ED30 is the one to go for if you want a golf.
Leon Cupra is the one to go for if you want the same chassis as the golf, but cheaper and with better brakes.
S3 is the one to go for if you want 4wd to give you the extra traction and nicer interior.
Focus RS is better than all 3 but pretty dear, and a remapped ed30, cupra etc will pass a Focus RS with pure ease.
Remapped cupra ed30 is also quicker than a evo fq 330 in a straightline.
RobH:
id much rather have an s3 over a focus rs but yeah tuning wise the ed30, s3 and cupra are way ahead of the rest.

sick, i was thinking to get an evo at one point but it comes with such a bloody bad label round my ends i would probably be getting pulled over every other day!
ed30 seems the one alot are talking about , maybe a possible upgrade in the future......i was tinking if i like the gti to go for the r32 next but it seems too much more expensive plus ed30 as you and many have said is really goood for tuning.....

r32 is slow, my standard cupra used to push my mates one down the road.
Sounds nice though.
