Definitely. Plus, you can get 5.0's for low 20's now. Just get one with Brembo brakes (retunes the steering a tad too). Honestly, the live axle in the current one is just fine, and the car is truly nearing e90 M3 levels. The new will be an improvement, but I can't imagine it'll be worth the cost over a used old one.
You'll hate how shitty the interior is and how boaty it feels, and be back in a GTI within a year.
A good friend had one, an '11 GT. He has a Raptor now. Anyway, I thought the interior was totally fine, I don't stroke my dash that much. He had some mods too and that thing was fast as fuck. It was 460ish whp I think, not sure what he had, full bolt-ons, cams?
The boaty feel is what concerns me about it. The sound, power, looks all appeal to me. I'm sure it's fun on a track too.
