That golf rocks. EIP in the states do a twin turbo package for the r32. Not badley priced. That was priceless when he pulled the guy from 140!!!! and left him for dead. Not a good road to do that on though. Props to the r32!
I cannot imagine being in control of that much horsepower at that sort of speed.. you kind of have to wonder where to draw the line between you being in control of a vehicle at speed and the vehicle running away with you.. It is nice to wipe the smile off peoples faces, not while putting innocent drivers who didn't ask to be involved at risk, the cost is just too high. Respect due to the Golf though, thoroughly nice motor without being 'LOOK AT ME' ie the Z4
