A guy in a brand new Volkswagen R32 (still had dealer tags on) started egging me on a little yesterday. From the front it looked like a GTI, so i ways like "i don't think so dude". Well when he was sitting next to me at the light he gave me the look and i was in for. At this time i still think it is a GTI. We hit it and i was at about 3/4 power when the little ******* started to pull on me thats when i noticed the R32 on the right of the hatchback and dual side exhaust. I quickly got on her and reeled the R32 back in( to be honest it took a little work) and made the in your face, don't mess with the GOAT ever again, pass.

Wow that little thing was fast, but the GOAT still came out on top :D

So about how much was he able to put on you while you were at 3/4?

Lebanon valley dragway, R32 less then 800 miles stock ran a best of 13.8.

Very impressive car. AWD tough to beat out of a hole, lookslike a regular gti.

He pulled ahead about 1.5 car lengths before i realized I better get on it.

The R32 is an impressive car, no doubt.

I had all but signed the papers on an R32 when my wife talked me into test-
driving a GTO. I'm a long-time Yank Tank H8er, but the Saturn V thrust of the LS-1 made me fecking buy it...

No regrets here. B)

Nice to know the GTO can convert its share of Yank tank haters.

Welcome to the board, ad congratulations on your goat. :friday:

This is quite a change for me-- I'm moving from a '99 BMW 323i...

I'd say that the GTO could be a GM conquest car. I'm a long time kraut car owner - 2 Porsches, 4 BMWs, three VWs, 1 Volvo, 1 SAAB. The GTO is making me think American for the first time since my '74 Cosworth Vega.

Groucho I really like those stripes on your car. I noticed in your guestbook that you bought it with some things already done to it.... did you put the stripes on or did they come with it? I'm not a big fan of how it looks in yellow, but your's is sexy!!!

Yeah, the stripes were already on it....I bought it just as it was in the showroom...I'm not usually one for yellow, but it just looked right... :D
