@r3: Nice pictures of the GTI man, it's a great machine. I've driven it on numerous occasions, and it has never failed to leave a lasting impression. The pull when the turbo kicks in is just absolutely addictive, and the 'pops' from the exhaust when you shift thru DSG box' is an altogether different addiction.

However, I feel that the RS250 is just a much more hardcore and mean car. Shifting through the 6 spd manual box' is much more involving and the mechanical grip the car has thru the bends, definitely impresses even the most relaxed of drivers. But its definitely not as forgiving as the GTI is. It feel as though, when you eventually run out of grip, you are going to have it bad, unlike the GTI which makes you feel safe at the limit.

Both great cars dude. Any pictures of the RS250?
