Not much of a contest. The GTI does have a weight advantage and makes its torque a lot lower than the Camaro does but its not enough. You've gotta find the power to weight ratio to see if they're gonna be close. 2900lbs/207 hp vs 3750lbs/304 hp works out to 14lb/hp vs 12.3lb/hp. Camaro is gonna out accelerate it all day long.
But not everyone is into drag racing, it might have a significant handling advantage but I doubt it. I can't find much info, but a turbo'd fwd car is going to be very nose heavy and VW's aren't known to be exceptional handlers.
