Title: Mk3 vr6 track car
Post by: MAT ed30 on 31 May 2009, 20:59

Hello guys i will be putting my mint mk2 gti up for sale soon as i just cant mod it as just too good to do it  :smiley: but i am thinking about a mk3 vr6 stripped of just about everything that can be taken out even the glass  :laugh: it will be done in plexiglass  :grin:,
it will be sat as low as i can get it for the track with a full cage on the inside  :evil: .

so do u think its a good idea to use a vr6? i know they are about 1100kg but i can sort that out easy and i like the idea of being able to use vag com on it too and just look after it myself as i do most of the work on my cars.

thought and info would be great and pics of mk3 track cars too  :smiley:

Some say that the VR6 is to heavy up front for a track car, and the 16v is a better option.

But the VR6 is more tunable should you fancy it.

I picked up a 16v anni a few months ago for my sister in law and it's a nice car but I am thinking that abit of grunt from the vr6 could be good as I have had a mk4 r32 before and it was abit front happy LOL but had enough grunt and noise to keep me happy  :evil:
Is the mk3 16v better as I was thinking of a mk2 16v again but would buy a cheap one and see how it goes  LOL it's just I think a mk3 vr6 could be fun and is a little bit more modern  :undecided:

I would agree for the VR6 for grunt. As it is in a mk3 shell so it wont be too over weighted at the front.

Although the mk2 16v could be even better as an all rounder.... in the corners. haha!
