Phat VR6 3 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 you've got the same car as me, The VR will feel silly fast compared, VR6 is the fastest car Ive owned and driven so i haven't got anything to compare ti with but i like it. tbf i want to go FI so it will be properly fast then Link to post Share on other sites

Eat this 2 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 crazy that! so you can't really drive slowly/economically can you? unless your very delicate with the accelerator right?you can but it takes effort and it quickly becomes a pita cruise control is a god send when wafting the vr6 is FAAAAAAR smoother to drive Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 sounds like you need a schrick and a 3.6 final drive gear if you dont want to go down the FI route.... Pete Link to post Share on other sites
pimpcat 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 the vr6 is similar to the 4motion altho the 4motion does have low end grunt but even the 4motion has a bit flat spot in third gear between 3 and 4k revs like martin said they were seen as a crusing motorway car. The only reason i have my v6 4motion as i cant really afford runin it is the noise once u hear a vw v6 ur hooked as i have been from my dads rado since i was 10 nd thats 12 years ago Link to post Share on other sites
Saunders82 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 tbh the vr6 is a fast car is just doesnt feel it in the "nice " feeling you get from a mk3 compareing it to a diesal is crap as you will always get that feeling from a high torque diesal its faster than it really is ! because of the way it delivers power! i wouldnt change my lazy vr6 for much at the moment tbh Link to post Share on other sites
orangecruz 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 all hail the vr its awesome to put it nice if the gt floated your boat that much then 1) Why didnt you buy it 2)Why did you buy a vr 3) why you on a vr site moaning about it comparing it to a brand new disesel the vr is what it is and unless you want to chuck a load of money at it, it aint gonna change but as said before dont think you have given it a fair chance one drive.think i can speak for most on here that one drive was all it took if you have vw petrol running through your veins then once you had a vr nothing will ever be quite the same again Link to post Share on other sites
numbnuts 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Your right i have'nt given it a fair chance. I have decided not to sell it (unless someone makes the right offer!!) and i'm going to keep it for at least 6 months to see if it grows on me. I do like the ride and it's a really nice car to drive it's just the power isn't there where i want it. I expect in a few months time i'll be on here raving about how good it is LOL I bet it would be a brilliant track car! Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Id get it on a diagnostic mate, something like a dirty cam sensor will rob 20-30 bhp as an exampleany number of sensors fail and the ECU kicks to safety mode and chucks in 25% more fuel and makes it run crappyVRs are picky aswell, nice fresh oil and decent plugs and leads. They seem to be 'poisoned' by dirty oil and run crap, stick fresh in and its like a different car, very strange, but all adds to their personality hahaStick a BMC CDA filter on it aswell, that will deffo hook you Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 what he said, personally i think if you where looking at a mk4, spend the money you saved and put a charger on it, You will be able to sell the charger on hear quite easily if you deside to sell the car... i can imaging it would feel faster than a deisel and put a smile on your face Link to post Share on other sites
