Well we all know its coming out....
Did anyone think it was a bit crap at first (like me) but it grew on me & I'm lovin it now... yah...
Anyways 0-60 = 8.2

what do the current Gti's do 0-60 in?

The quoted 6N2 GTi's 0-62 time is 8.9 sec's, so with a 1.8T they have increased it by 0.5, not that much really as standard anyway.

The torque will make the new gti feel alot quicker.

152nm @3300rpm vs 229nm @1950rpm

We will obviously have to confirm this on a test drive though!

The offical 6n2 0-60 time is actually 8.4. If the golf engines are anything to go by, its gunna be s**t. Did anyone see topgear when like a skoda beat the 1.8 150bhp one?

I did, it was a Skoda and a Rover 25, and they both easily beat it

They couldnt make it any faster.
Would take the attention away from the Golf GTI.
Too slow and not enough power to convince me into spending Â£14'850
Yes its mappable, if you want to through the warrenty away.

There's a thread on uk-mkiv's here which casts a bit of doubt on that Clarkson race.

I mean come on, a Rover automatic!

The engine it comes with is 150bhp, it can then be remapped:
