What? You got to be kidding me! They are "quick" but not a torque monster lol
They still only run the same 0-60 and quarter mile time with GTI

There's the aftermarket downpipe.

There's the tune
These cars do have potential I guess but, of course the aftermarket is still much more limited compared to the gti.

That's how much a piece of metal tube should cost. In fact, I just bought a DP for my Miata for $70. The GTI ones are vastly inflated becauseracecar/fanbois.
Aren't Hyundai/Kia's power numbers way inflated/overrated?

Because we are getting raped for most of the aftermarket parts on our cars. Also there is no cat on that downpipe.

VW NUT!
Its all about power to weight ratio. A MkVI GTI only weighs about 3100 lbs as a 5 door w/ DSG. APR stage 2 tune w/ downpipe and intake, you should be making 273hp/300tq on 93 Oct according to APR. Vs a 2012 Optima turbo for instance that weighs 3400lbs at least and 274hp/269tq. 300lbs difference is no joke and the GTI would has more torque, plus DSG shifts faster than anything a Kia can throw at it. True Stage 2 MkVI GTI (any trim level) > stock Kia Optima Turbo. EASY.

Yeah I raced a 2.0T Optima from a dig the other day. I'm completely stock mechanically (MKVI DSG GTI) and it wasn't even close. I went from a 0 to about 120 and he was way behind, I let off, we slowed down and then did a 60 start. That was even worse for him, no contest.
