Um no. Horsepower: 180 hp Torque: 173 ft-lbs. Gross Weight: 3836 lbs. 0-60 is identical to the SVT due to the power coming full on at 1950 RPM. Line up with an SVT with good drivers and it will be a drivers race but I'd put my $ on the SVT. Just look at the weight of the car alone. Now when you starting modifying the 1.8 it will smoke an SVT.



Well, I've driven both and I definitely feel the GTI is faster. They're supposed to be about 1/2 a second faster than the SVT in 1/4 mile time.
