with vr6 you get quality...............i know the vr6 is faster than a ferrari 308 gtsi!!!!

106 beats a ferrari you would get laughed at........

[vwsystems]

more like he can beat a vr6 which has a faulty hall sender..........

all talk..........if he has wow great but i dont think its true........ was the other guy racing i bet he didnt even stick his foot down..............

the vr6 s**** all over the 8v golf gti mate cant keep up and in the wet he's gone no chance......ive got abs he hasnts heavy brake at last miniute in wet i know my wheels wont lock he cant keep up.......

ive been out in the vr6 i do feel much safer in it!
that abs makes the difference!

Went in a friends 106gti at 100mph, felt wholly unstable and very scary compared to MK3 16v and VR6.  I think 145mph with just a k&n is highly improbable.

For what its worth when I had my Vectra I raced a 106GTI coming from J10 A3 M25 onto J7 M23 towards Gatwick...  Came off M25 I undertook him on the slip road pulled infront, we both slowed down for a car but when that car went I gave it ALL I had, and I'm not scared to redline it in every gear, it was a company car....  Anyhoo, He was keeping up, just, upto about, well fast, then I waved as my more powerfull engine took care of the rest so I would find it very hard to believe a standard 106GTI would beat a standard GTI 8V let alone a VR6...

What Vectra was it? SRI?

A 106 GTi will happily do 0-60 in 7.4 secs in standard form. It will p1ss all over any Golf (standard v standard) through the twisties. They are great little fun cars to drive, just not built very well.

The 306 GTi-6 is even quicker than 106, then the 306 Rallye is quicker still. Don't think even a VR6 could keep up with a 306 GTi/Rallye, they have 167bhp standard and don't weigh all that much, VR6 unfortunately would definitely have no chance through the corners.
