Hi Guys (and girls)
I picked up a 4motion in January after selling my black 96'
Mk3 Vr6 to my brother (boy he got a good deal!)
Here's what I think - I love the 4Motion, on a damp morning I can dump the clutch and shoot off a roundabout
without a problem - couldn't do that in the Mk3Vr6!
However, if you have a Mk3 VR6 don't expect to feel any
difference in performance (at least in a straight line) as the performance figures show, there's not much in it.
Don't get me wrong it's a great car, but look at it like a newer VR6 in a more modern shell with better handling.
The other problem is that I'd like a few more horses, but apart from a supercharger or turbo, I can only probably
gain around 10-20 Bhp with a chip and tune up.
You turbo guys can easily get up to 200Bhp all in a lighter
car!
So - if your'e looking to move up to a V6 I would recommend the 4motion.
If your'e looking for something you can tune the turbo
is the better choice and are much cheaper - just
don't expect great acceleration in the wet!
Hope this snippet helps!
Regards,
Howard.
