I have an 07 GTI, and that car is a BLAST to drive... I could only imagine what this beast would be like behind the wheel.

Wait a minute... isn't the Chevrolet Corvette a hatchback? I'm sure there are a lot more super-powered Corvettes than VW's.

Sweeeeeet!!! that car looks really awesome.

It may dust the Ferrari, but you're right that the production Corvette Z06 may beat it, with 3.5s for the 0-60 (though I've seen 3.7 quoted too). Top speed about 198 so you have to get in front and not let him pass. :)

yeah, but corvettes are lame. Volkswagens, on the other hand, kick ass......seriously, why would anyone buy a corvette when you could buy something much better with your money? like, something that's not made by Chevy? maybe somthing made by a worthwhile manufacturer. one that doesn't make their cars as cheaply as humanly possible, and then sell the for hugely over proportional amounts of cash. It may be fast, but it's ugly as sin, and it's a chevy.

but Volkswagen doesnt exactly have a spotless track record either :) so.......... tesla roadster time

Issues phill?

maybe he's mad he's stuck driving mom's old minivan until he gets a job or something.

won't fly. Ferrari and Lambo will always be on top. even if their stats get beat (when they get beat, they always make something faster), their presitigious names carry them way over anywhere VW (or any other car co) can reach.
