Surely that depends what kind of Golf GTi it is.
And either way, I hope you're doing this on a track/private road.

is it a golf gti turbo? the lupo will probably kick the polo and a normally aspirated golf gti's ass

The Polo GTI is about the same as the 1.8T Mk4 Golf's and will beat most Mk4 GTI's!. It won't beat the anniversary or the Mk5

A Golf 2ltr GTi weighs less than a Polo?

The engine in the 2.0GTI is the old 2.0 8v unit so wouldn't be that heay.
It also doesnt have air con as standard unlike the Polo so the Kerb weight is less.

yeah that is more what I expected, the polo might be heavy but the mk4 golf is a brick

No
the figures you have used for everything but the Polo is after 2001 (when the way they weighed cars was changed.)
My appologises My car was weighed the new way so before the 2001 date the Polo was 1084kg
So 120bhp per ton then.

I crapped myself there!!! Seriosuly thought to myself, what the hell would be the point in having a polo GTI if it only as 100 bhp per ton! Them figures make the Polo at least look respectable!
