I think the stock GTI comes with about 200hp and this chip work gave it another 40 plus horses and so now a 240+hp car that size kinda explains itself right?And have you tried one of the most imppresive feature on the Gti,the DSG gearbox? it's similar to the SMGs on the Beemers but heck of a lot smoother and quick.I was told that even Porsche adapted the DSG lately(I could be wrong here so don't hantam me please).The GTI comes with some of the other creature comforts like Xenons and the interior finishing is top notch befitting the marque's reputation.I've came across some GTIs tuned up to 300 plus hp and all this from a 2 liter engine?!?In my opinion the the GTI is great value for money but you probably maybe saving a lot if you just mod up your e46 but if money is not an issue and if I am in your predicament...the GTI is my choicenow where is my Beemer that I love playing with</blockquote>
