You can spend too much time here? Damn, I didn't know that...

 

There might be another s2k in the garage soon to replace GTI 1.8T next year . I was following my brother during the test drive in the GTI and its simply amazing how well it holds the road and corners. I don't think i'll be able to do the same with the GTI, it has more power and torque but not so much in the handling dept.

 

GTI 1.8T has more power than the S?
I think the 240hp Honda motor has a higher output than the 180hp turbo VW motor.

The GTI DOES have more torque, along with more body roll and higher curb weight.

Don't compare a sports car to an econo hatchback with a little turbo slapped on it, it's not fair to Volkswagen.

 

Sorry, thats what I meant, torque. Have Eibach sportline springs and Koni sport shocks, and with a chip its pretty nice. It just lacks in the handling and tranny dept
