3. 1994 Volkswagen Golf III VR6... in heavenly bliss.

Tommy - how do you find the perfomance comparison between the Mk2 16V and the VR6??

Ive driven a stock valver for a while and from experience i reckon theres not much in it - they even seem farily similar in power delivery - what ya reckon??

Pete.

well the mk2 has a tsr 2ltr 16v in it with cams and full supersprint system so it not exactly stock !amazed ....on a test thrash with minty there is very little in it up to 80mph but then the big vr comes in to its own and that was game over ...........ive had a couple of rips with with a mates corrado 2ltr 16v and nearly hit him up the arse :P;) .........to be honest i dont think from my experience with the 1800 16v it would'nt come close to the vr :)
