wonder how much extra power you can get with a remap?
not that you should have to remap a brand new car after spending that much buying it

There is probably nothing in it on the road to be honest... GTi has extra weight, but extra torque too!!
I was just stating the obvious... that nothing can beat a CTR

Awesome cars but they can feel a little underpowered at times... depends really... its a much classier hot hatch than, well, anythign EVER... not the fastest but the handling is unbelievably good! Torque is all-assuming and exhaust note sounds awesome... with the right options, this car is amazing 
I have SatNav, leather, 18s, cruise, Xenons + 6 disc changer

Are you comparing this to your CTR though? Because one of them in 6th at 30mph will be more like a steam train pulling away from its tidings, slow as arse in other words.
