That was lame, I thought you were going to off road or at least do a canyon run.  Nice car though, I was going to get a WRX but the insurance is too high because of people like you, so I got a GTI instead, which is faster anyway.

I could have sworn I saw a stock comparison drag race with the GTI winning to but I just looked at the WRX's 0-60 and that can't be right.  Top speed on the GTI is 15mph higher as well.

Well thats the 09 models I'm talking 05-08, and I'm fairly sure the GTI is faster than the WRX on Top Gear which has Micheal Shumaker (sp?) setting the lap times instead of a woman.

Yeah it would have been cool but the insurance is outrageous and on the GTI is really low for how fast it is.  Really, really wanted a Cobalt Turbo SS but couldn't find one anywhere, and I couldn't lease a MS3 + too much HP for FWD anyway, GTI easier to live with.

If I had a WRX I would just  off road it and flip it anyway.

I was just looking up insurance quotes. There is about a $20 difference between an STi and GTI

Well that just doesn't even make sense, an STI has like 100 more hp than a GTI and its 4wheel drive.  Only thing I can think of is you didn't get a quote for someone under 25, and you found a rare insurance company that still has the STI classified the same as a WRX.

The difference for me was huge it was like $800.  The Speed3 was like half way in between.

Because farther up in the thread  I said I was going to get a WRX but got a GTI instead and thats where the argument came from.

TOTALLY different cars...put the cobra on a dirt track with and sti and then the sti would win. put the sti on a drag strip and no doubt the cobra will win..... that being said there 2 totally different cars but both are sick
