2016 TR GTI S 6MT
A few months ago when I got my mk7 GTI 6mt (because DSG is boring to me), I was cruising around Charlottesville at night because there is not a damn thing to do there. Anyway, I came across this e36 M3 that was gutted, fbo, tuned with some engine work (before you ask how do I know what mods he had, we pulled off after the race to chat). My car only had a COBB intake and AWE Track cbe at the time. We both came up to the light in lanes 2 and 4. I didn't think he was interested in racing so when the light turned green, I didn't punch it. Well, he did so he got the jump on me and I floored it shortly after. He got a half a car length on me before I reeled him in and got ahead of him buy a half a car. I was a bit surprised as how my car performed for being barely modded. Either that or my superior driving skills! :D

Stock for stock they should be close, but E36s are now close to 20 years old, so you never really know. A healthy one should be a drivers race with a stock GTI.
