The last 3~? GTi/Golf releases have been complete let downs in terms of what it said on paper vs what it actually did...Especially the most recent "omg look at the torque this car makes" Gti and it's instant brake fade combined with handling characteristics of a paddle boat.

If there is ANY car that Bench racing should NEVER be considered valid for it's that car, considering the Civic slapped it in the face when "statistically" it shouldn't have a chance...

No need to be sorry. I didn't realize we were discussing these cars strictly around a race track. For everyday driving, cost, and power, these cars are very similar and compete for buyers. If the frs/brz hadn't been so much more $$ (about 7k more) when I had to replace my car I would have bought it.
