Unless this guy I had a run with this morning had an issue with his car, I was suprised and even shocked to see that it just is not that fast.
I know all the motoring press is going gaga re its rwd handling etc but to be honest I really though it would be faster.
Both of us one up, clear empty dual carriage way with multiple round abouts, I was driving along after collect some bits from my Autospares place, he comes up behind me, then pulls alongside and gives it the big un.
I go after him, catch him at the first roundabout and then am all over him coming off the roundabouts.
Maybe I will run out re top end compared to him, but from 30 - to the legal limit(ish I was quicker?
Now my GT is not in the best of health, its running rich and all it has is a induction kit, which tbh prob robs some power, so it aint fast at all.
Not driven one, so will test drive one, but honestly thought that they were faster. Most modern TDIs can blow me into the weeds.
