No doubt a tuned GTI can be faster than a stock R, but I'll take the weight penalty to have awd, especially now that this generation of Haldex runs constant power to the rears and can send nearly all power to the back once slip occurs.
Further I'd unfortunately bet that the US weight for the GTI is around 3100 or 3150 pounds due to standard content, making the gap closer to 150 or even 100 pounds.
