Chipping an 02' GTI will put it around 215hp/245tq...depending on the octane tune, and will make it a mid to low 14 car easily. In fact there are guys on VWVORTEX that run in the 14's stock.
They are pricey to mod, but I wouldn't say any worse than the Tour...$600 catbacks come to mind.
The Wolfsburg was just a special edition they did. It came with factory BBS wheels among other little add-ons.
The way I look at it is: If it comes from the factory F/I, then you're gonna have fun with it. Shoot, have a look at the new SRT-4...minor upgrades(LSD,exhaust,CAI,tuning)and that car is a threat to C5's for God's sake!!
