A friend of mine just bought an 06' GTI turbo, and has been showing it off to all of our other friends. On the way back from Chipotle's, he though it would be funny to try to beat me back to his apartment by hauling ass through a covenant controlled neighborhood (full of old people, so no one was on the streets). I was driving my beater, an 84' 900s. The only stuff done to it so far: I installed stock sway bars off of a turbo 900, KYB GR-2s, Goodyear Aquatread 3's, and I removed that stupid thermostatic airbox and rerouted the intake to the bottom of the bumper. Although I'm a better driver than he is, he's got a 2.0 direct-injected turbo with a friggin 6-speed. Suprisingly enough, I was no further than a few carlenghts behind him most of the time. Just before we got back to the apartments, I passed him doing about 45 mph through a 90 degree corner (DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!) and beat him at the last second. Go 8-valve! Now obviously, he should have won, but I can now honestly say that my old 218,000 mile 900s isn't so bad after all!
