    Golf R on track - after 20 lap days

    Yup, it makes for OEM calibration if you ask me. That shows how much VAG is leaving on the table on this platform, presumably not to cannibalize too much into Audi territory. Get a Stratified tune if you go Cobb! it will make the Cobb default tune feel like complete garbage compared to what...
