Who was it that traded their S4 for a new MkV GTI?

Only time he got the jump on me through 4th gear was in a roll from second.
Anything else he spun to much.
The DSG is key. If i had a bad shift he would gain distance on me but after the turbo ran out of air, i pulled and pushed away.
It is a powerful little car but I would take my S4 any day over it.

In some ways you'll miss it, and in some ways not.
For a front-driver, you cannot beat the MKV chassis. I usually hate FWD cars, but I can tolerate the new Golf. The interior is nearly on par with the S4 if you get it well equipped.
You'll miss the sound and the quattro when it comes to the S4, but the Golf will be nimble, fun, practical, and as quick as you want it to be (unless you are talking off the line).

I think the simple answer is that in a race between a modded GTI and a stock 350Z...
it'll come down to driver. The 350Z should be faster but if he's a poor shifter the DSG equipped GTI will run him. If the 350Z is an auto, it's gonna be really close.
