2.0 in GTI vs 2.0 LNF

Within a couple of days I am buying either a Cobalt SS or a GTI with DSG. I can chip the GTI and get around 255hp and 300 tq. The GTI is nicer inside but the Cobalt is a better performer. For me, hp make all the difference, as either way this will be the slowest car I have owned in 10 years. Anyone know what we can expect from the LNF with the basic upgrade of chip/intake/catback?

I love the GTI's... but what you have to consider is that a Cobalt is gonna weigh in around 3000lbs w/ driver and a full tank, while the GTI will be around 3200lbs.

I mean for that too, if he would want AWD, which he didnt say, we were just commenting, he could go into a R32, especially if he likes the VW

nice and used evo.

Thats tough. I mean its like any car, they have been beaten, for what they are. Also with the MR you dont know how far gone the tranny is because those 6 speeds are pieces of ****.

You know what's funny... My friend's dad worked at the Sendell VW & Buick dealer in Greensburg, PA for about 5+ years... They were actually told that it is statistically shown that more homosexual men buy Jetta's then any other car... Just putting that out there...

If that is how someone is judging on buying a car. um, OK. Good way to go car shopping. Anyone who follows statistics like that is just uneducated, cause those kind of statistics just dont matter in the real world
