I was in my friend'* 98 Jetta yesterday...no flex or noises at all in that thing either. It has engine problems, but the body and interior are all built pretty solid and everything is together well.

To answer this question umm never tried but if you turn the wheel hard enough and floored it I am sure it could. One thing about this car its a dog off the line! I cant get it to even sqeak the tires. But passing I think it may pull the GXP. Once it get to about 3k its winds up pretty good and when it downshifts you better hold on cause it will give you a ride.

You gotta remember somethin' guys.

Germans HAVE to build their cars solidly and with tons of safety in mind. Think about it...if you have an accident on the Autobon, what would YOU rather be in? A car that was not meant to go past 110 MPH because of beurcratic beancounters and a behind-the-times government...or a car that was designed to CRUISE at 110+ made by people that overbuild everything...including their chocolate cakes?

FACT: When VW started importing their cars to the US, they could not understand why Americans had to have cupholders. To the Germans, having a drink in the car took away from the drivers "connection" to the car...i.e., a major distraction, which goes againsts Germanys driver training. The Germans have little tolerance for distractions inside of cars...even today.

My 745 puts out alot more power than that car stock and even my car wont chirp the tires. BMW is about not wasting any power on useless wheel spin. I think my 745 is considerably quicker than my GXP was but its no G8 GT.

The other day put my foot in it and going from 3rd to 1st it actually chirped the tires and then the ASC kicked in.

Yeah I cant kill mine completely.
