I think it's sad that they only upped the HP by 10HP...They are starting to go NSX-S2000 on the GTI.
I mean come on how hard could it be to add 30-40HP from that 2.0T engine?

Don't be concerned with the stock power ratings. Most stock 2.0t dynos I've seen are between 185-195 whp, so it's a bit more stout than advertised. It's a great motor.

And since I know what's coming, here are some examples:

some have dynoed 200WHP stock, but probably on a dynojet. either way the car definitely makes 210+ BHP whether they rate it as such or not.
I just love car forums, especially with FWD hot hatches;
Everyone on the Mazdaspeed 3 or Cobalt SS: "260 horsepower is too much for a FWD car, thats gonna torque steer"
and now on the GTI "200 horsepower just isn't enough"
I for one 'think' a FWD car should have exactly 233.8 bhp because its a good mix of torque steering and power

The mkvi runs 0-60 in 5.8 and the 1/4 in 14.5. Might not have that much hp but I wouldn't exactly call that slow.
