Well I am definatly going against the grain.
I just sold my GTi-R a few months ago and brought a 1974 1200 ute.
Curtis, I highly doubt you out cornered a GTI-R, they handle alot better than most people think. stock they suffer a little understeer but a few suspension mods and it irons the understeering out easily.
However, I will say if you did then its because the driver could not drive his car properly. Holding several meets and trackdays for the GTiR club showe me that there are quite a few members that lets just say need a little more practice.
Anyway, I am sure you will enjoy your GTi-R if you haven't boosted your car over 14psi then your in an even bigger suprise the GTi-R comes alive above 1bar boost. Make sure you uprate your fuel pump tho. Stock one doesn't reall like that much boost.
