1/4 w/ a chipped 2.0t would put you low 13 or high 12 depending on driver.... all german cars are known for weight alot of sound deadoning, heavy carpets, etc... i know taking out my rear seats and spare saved me 200lbs

also on the GTI you can get automatic w/ paddle shifting (quicker than the manual)
