As a comparison I drove the 535i to the shop, in sport mode and with the nice M-perf exhaust was having some fun. Hopped in the GTI, wow so much more fun. 380ft-lbs on 3100lbs. Best non-R VW I've driven (and better than many audis too). What an awesome car. It just rips. I'm sure it's the same as some diesel truck and a dated e46 m3 (I own one too!) and what not. Pshaw. No stock 335 or e46M would keep up with this.
It's cool if you like it - though you are not exactly comparing apples here. Not sure why you feel the need to justify. I will absolutely agree to disagree, because there is no way a stock GTI is as fun to drive as an e46m3. Nope nope nope.
