Chippy look at this argument you've caused.
Essentially it's all down to personal preference, do you like a screaming petrol or a diesel with lots of grunt. Do you like something that is good out the box or do you like tuning and finally can you afford to average 20mpg?
A good stage 2 hdi is faster than a standard gti6 and with all the same suspension parts the diesel will be faster as it will be lighter.
A 180bhp diesel will always be faster than a 180bhp petrol as they have alot more torque and a better spread of power across the rev range.
