This is the Volkswagen Jetta GLI. It's got a sport-tuned suspension and a 200-horsepower turbo charged engine. It's fast. This is John Taylor. He's one of the world's top speed guitarists. He's fast. Fast vs. Fast. Can the Jetta GLI complete one lap before John completes The Flight of the Bumblebee? It's time to find out.
OK. Best two out of three.
Fast vs Fast
Jetta GLI takes it.
You can't fake fast.
That's the power of German engineering.
