Benz is gone...

I got tired of driving a boring (IMO) car. It was absolutely gorgeous but I needed something with some spunk, so I went back to what I know best. I got a 2010 VW GTI.

I had an MKV that made almost 280hp, that was with the FSI motor. This has a TSI so I'm hoping for the same if not better with just an intake, chip, and exhaust. Gonna lower it and put on some sway bars and tear up the auto-x again.

My Benz treated me pretty well, but it's time to have some fun again!

Oh yeah, it's a 6 speed

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Coming from VAG products myself, I know what a wonderful world of tuning awaits you. APR stage III is the way to go.

Tank, the GTI is still the GTI. In Europe, the Golf R replaces the R32 and uses a stronger, more highly tuned 270 hp 2.0T.

It is not available here yet. It is supposed to come in early 2010 and will be called the GTI-R. I hope it's true.

I'm loving the GTI!!
