I know 2 people really well with GTI's, one has a 1.8t that has chip and intake, the other has the VR6 both manual transmission. I walk away slowly on the 1.8T. The VR6 I have not really got to run that much but he isnt very good at driving it and in my short 40-100 race I pulled at the start since he was in the wrong gear and held it.
Mind you this is in a 328i... You really have to take advantage of the RPM's, most of the time when I race with someone I pull on them when my car hits 5,800-7k RPM since they are usually shifting when and I am making peak power.
I have test driven the new 2.0t and its slow and would need a good chip.
I have also recently raced a saab running 10-11 PSI of boost and only pulled at the start when he had turbo lag and then he stayed at my bumper up to 100. I also ran into a A6 2.0T and walked away on them maybe 5 feet from 20-80 ish. I have also raced a 350Z which he only put me at his bumper from 0-70ish and he had after market exhaust.
