I agree with this statement 100%
According the the LVD scales my 03 GTI was 2795 with full interior and spare.
Said car, with me in it is 3005 lb.
Said car can also run a 14.936 @ 93.27 (2.302 60’) Bone stock.
I believe this is a very impressive ET for bone stock on the factory 17" Michelin’s.
I can find no one who has run faster with a 100% showroom stock car.
