2015 Golf GTI vs. 2015 Mustang V6/EB

[Rogues Gambit]

Test drove a GTI before I bought an Evo X. There's a reason why I didn't buy the GTI. BORING. Get an Ecoboost and just give a portion of your paychecks each month to MAPerformance. You will not regret it.

Saw a MkVII going into NYC yesterday, I was like:shrug:

A modded GTi is slightly faster than a stock 4 banger Mustang.

Congrats.

Pretty sure it walked the 5.0 @ stage 2+?

I drove a GTi Mk6 for a couple months. It's quick, but it's lame to drive.
And if I feel like driving a fast FWD, I just get into my SRT4...

You just compared a neon to a GTI. You might as well said a turbo civic...LOL. Not hating, just saying. Driving a stock GTi does it no justice btw. Extremely limited like the ecoboost stang from the dealership.

Anywho, can't wait to get back to my old GTi Speeds on the stang.

 

[VIN666]

Sure...

Lets see what a tuned EBM does vs that K04

If the K04 can walk a 5.0 on a pull (not launch) I would imagine it would take a stage 2 full bolt on EB just to keep up, if even that.

I've raced many K04 when I had my full bolt on stage 2 GTI. Those things are not slow and can hang a lot of high powered NA's. The MK7 GTI with stage 2 and bolt on is suppose to be equal to a k04 mk6 GTI.

Another example of what those K04's can do, this one is much more modded than the other one vs the stang's. I believe its water/meth injected.

APR's stage 1 Mk7 Golf R ran an 11.9 at ~114mph and the GTI ran a 13.1 @ ~110mph.

Not bad for $700.

Wow, I didn't realise how much power you can put down on those GTI's. Just did some browsing on the APR website and with their Stage II ECU upgrade your at 336HP/404TQ. And I assume its a few hundred pounds lighter than the Ecoboost.

The Mk7 Golf R stage 1 has been reported to do 0-60 at 3.6 to 3.8 and with a 1 foot roll does 3.4 -3.5 0-60. I wish the Mustang Eco boost could do that with just a tune or even a Mustang GT for that matter. I like the new mustang but it takes some serious $$ to get even a GT to go 0-60 in 3.5.

DSG and AWD are a big reason. I've been contemplating a Mustang for quite a while, but I think I've settled on getting a new S3 (basically the Golf R) and picking up a used S550 GT in a year or two. I want both, but practicality is winning over.
