The 1.8T motor in A4s and Mkivs is pretty mod friendly. Swap on a bigger turbo, injectors, software, and some other tweaks and 400+hp is easy. I used to own a modded A4, very quick car. I imagine the new 2.0T is fun to play with to. I never heard of anyone going twin turbo, but eh.
If anyone follows BMWs the new 335ci looks scary as hell to mess with.

Also look out for the older late 90's early 00'sAudi S4's, they came bone stock with a 2.7L twin turbo charged V6 and with just a tuneare over 400HP. Those S4's were all wheel drive quattros so they hook up instantly. Sleepers without the badging, on the outside they look just like the A4 130HP four banger.

The B5 generation Rs4s are Avants, ie station wagons. Same 2.7l V6 but with two K04s, larger than the turbos on stock S4s. I forget their output but its 400hp+ That being said those cars were incredibly unreliable.
I'm pretty sure the 335s with just a tune could walk a GT.

How embarrasing! Smoked by a VOLKSWAGON.......
Time to save your pennies for the only mod that you ever really needed - forced induction. Any forced induction setup done right should give you the ability to compete with the deadly VWs out there.

I came from the euro scene, I owned a nicely modded MkIV 1.8T Jetta that put down 225whp before nitrous(FMIC kit)then it was 250-260whp. I supprised a lot people that used to pull up on me and think I was just a dumb little VW. untill I kicked the crap out of them. It's hard to tell sometime's what a easy kill will be. Don't feel bad.That was the car I sold to get my mustang.

Ouch thats gotta hurt. Are you driving a V6 or GT? My bro is fixing up an old bug. Spent about 7k just on the motor, and I can't wait to race him when he breaks the motor in and gets everything else running. I rode in it, and I don't doubt that VWs can be pretty quick.

It's just my opinion, but the Golf could be made out of gold and it would still be just a Golf. At least the Mustang has character. Let's be honest, when was the last time you noticed a Golf driving down the road??? Probably never. But every time a Mustang drives by, you look and you listen and maybe give a thumbs-up.
