Mastiff 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I was shocked when a good friend of mine with an 04 plate Audi S3 went against me.......There was nothing in it, identical performance! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 A standard vr6 is a slow car, driver ability and willingness makes a big difference A type r, clio 172, s3 etc would easily be faster than a vr if driven by the same ability driver through twisty stuff inmo on a motorway it would be even or the vr might win but when is a straight line a test of a cars ability !

Mastiff 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I am going to get mine booked in on the rollers! My mates S3 was RR'd at 206bhp and in a straight line we were neck and neck, twisties he was all over me but straight line performance in a VR6 is impressive, well in mine it is thus me wanting me to get mine RR'd! Saying twisties, my 205 GTI 1.9 is just amazing on corners, it will just not budge. My VR has become a lot better since fitting Toyo T1R-S tyres. Link to post Share on other sites
