Did they do a MK2 soft top GTi?
I think it would be close but I would fancy the ST, the golf would be nearly 20 years old!

The early Golf GTI's are legendary for their speed & handling (given their age). IMO it WOULD beat the  (but only just) The following quote is taken from >>HERE<< Quote:
The Golf GTi has been piling on the pounds over the last few decades. The Mk4 Golf is a whopping 48 percent heavier than the original Mk1. All this means that the later cars need much more power just to stay in the same league as the originals. Despite its 20 valves, turbo and modern electronic engine management, the Mk4 GTi 1.8 Turbo can't match even the earliest humble 1.6 GTi in terms of power to weight ratio. To have the same power to weight ratio as that early car, the modern Mk4 would need 162 bhp, to catch the Mk2 16v, a whopping 180bhp! With such little mass to haul about, it goes without saying that these early Golfs can change direction with a nimbleness thats absent from anything but lightweight sports cars of today such as the Lotus Elise. Grip is strong, handling superb and some even say the replacement Mark III was much the inferior car for the enthusiast driver.
The Mk II GTi 16v is still a rapid car even by todays standards. With a top speed of 129mph and a sprint to 60mph in just 7.3 seconds itll show many of todays hot hatches its cleanly styled rump.

The cabrios were heavy, underpowered and their handling was compromised. IMHO no contest. The would blow it away!

Absolutely couldn't agree more crofty!!! You don't go around racing Rs Turbos in a tiny hatback like a R32. I think there well anoying, sure there fast, but there a small car and small cars tend to be a boys car, yet boys can't get insured on them. Moroll of the story is; Don't be a boy and get a R32, be a man get an Evo!
