Depends on the situation really. If its a 30-70 in 3rd, the 6 will be sitting at about 2k at 30 so will be dead slow so the HDI will steam past. If it was to 100, (with a gear change), the GTI would smash it i reckon
Generally you do have to be in a gear to accelerate James

That said, if it's a 30-70 and choose any gear you like... A GTi6 will be quicker.
I currently run a cammed and throttle bodied GTi6 with 227hp. Even this, isn't as quick as a HDi in gear...
