Modding a GTP isn't really expensive, but there is a LOT to modify, seemingly. With newer turbo cars it's easier to pick up big HP with bolt-ons, but parts are much more expensive.

Dropped off the GTI at the dealer this morning for what looks to be a seeping valve cover. Thank goodness for the warranty. I guess there's quite a bit integrated into the valve cover on the 2.0 TSI and it's not at all a small job.

Talked to my wife to get some input on the GTP idea; she thinks I'm crazy, but that's probably not anything out of the ordinary.

From a practicality perspective it'd probably be smart to get a newer car, but I've just never liked the lines on the 04+. The interior is also insanely cramped compared to the 97-03 models or even my GTI.
