If you read my post again you'll notice the following:
1. You need to upgrade the Tigs suspension to make it handle as good as a stock GTI.
2. Stock Tigs are at least 0.5s slower to 100km/h than a stock GTI and due to their weight more than that 80-120km/h. AWD traction keeps it closer of the line but the extra weight kills it in overtaking and day to day driving.
3. Add some extra power to both Tig and GTI and where the GTI struggles to put the power down, the Tig just grips and goes. Stg1 Tig quicker than a Stg 1 GTI to 100km/h ..... Believe me I've "tested" this many many times ......
4. The extra weight comes into play though in overtaking and on the quarter mile where a STg 1 GTI is a fair bit quicker.
5. So unless you "race " a GTI off the line, the Stg 1 Tig will be slightly slower everywhere you cannot use the AWD advantage.
But watch out for those sleeper Tigs at the lights, normally ends in tears (repeatedly) for GTIs and even stock Rs ....
