Agreed. It's plenty scary to think of letting my kids drive the GTI with "only" ~220hp. I happened to look it up the other day and the acceleration numbers are at least equal to the E46 ZHP if not better. And in real life driving, it's faster. You had to work the ZHP a little bit. The GTI pulls from 2krpm.
