16v POWER
Right this is a discussion made entirely of facts as to which is better, I.E. power, handling, etc.
FACTS PEOPLE NOT OPINION!!
Let the discussion commence.
:smiley:
-
:evil:
-
it comes down to..
mk2 16v better handling, better performance on the road
mk3 16v safer, bigger more powerful engine
^ which apparently i'm wrong about...
mk3 16vs and '6s also have basic traction control at low speeds and different suspension to the 8v..
-
Cant be arsed with this argument no more to be prefectly honest
-
:rolleyes:
-
:grin: i love these arguments
-
I am jsut fed up with them, they go on all the time and are meaningless as all dubs are good, end of story for me
-
apart from the mk3 8v
/me runs.....

Just to fuel the fire MK2 8v kills any Mk3...... well not the VR6 :evil: :evil: :evil:

0-60 Top Speed BHP
mk2 1.8 8v 9 115 112
mk3 2.0 16v 9 134 150
How you work that one out?
-
where did mk3 16v 9secs come from? lol
its 8.5...
-
why is there so much debate over mk2 and mk3 why not add the mk1,4 and 5 into discussion

" IS THIS A 5 MINUTE ARGUMENT OR THE FULL HALF HOUR " :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
( re ; MONTY PYTHON'S argument sketch )
-
I hope its just the 5 minute argument, as it is so boring now!
-
for a good chassis get an old golf, for comfort get a newer one, simple as :grin:
-
dont want to start a fight but my 8v gets up2 128mph not 115mph :shocked:
-
on the clock maybe. You have to account for inaccuracies being increased the farther up the reading you go.
Therefore matey, i am afraid you are only doing about 115mph. :smiley:
-
Come on lads get over it, we all know that the mk2 16v IS the best gti out of the lot of them end of, In my eyes the mk3 is jst fat ugly, myself mk2 anyday of the week.
Then again i drive an RS Turbo but hey thats jst me :kiss:

i would say his speedo is optimistic but top speeds can be conservative. i know my daily driver is rated at 4mph lower than my top speed so far, and the car was still accelerating (i gave up cause i got defeaned).
-
aye... GPS is the way to go for measuring speed aint it?
(no i aint got one..)
on my private airstrip my valver has been up to 140 on the clock.. would like to know what that is in reality
:rolleyes:

no babe.. :kiss: you just happen to have more of an idea of what you're talkin about rather than spouting uninformed drivel
-

LMFAO, funny that, i guess i have no idea, even though i have driven bott mk3s in GTI form then.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
-
My mk3 was a 1.4 :laugh: with a bodykit :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
:embarassed:
-
least u have a 'rado now..
sadly.. i know.. this is bad but... the reason i got my valver over a 'rado was that
this 50-ish year old woman who lives opposite has a '6 'rado...
maybe when i move away :cool:
-
I like my mk2's and mk1's i think they are much better than a mk3 anyday
if you dont like it take your horse and 0 - 60s figures write em down and stick um so far up your arse they tickle your tonsils. If you have a mk3 then good for you leave me to enjoy the dubs i like most
-
PS my speedo was out by -4 mph (not over), most of the way through the range including upto 90 - 100 mph, measured with GPS.
When I fitted 17" alloys speedo was spot on!
We're all here for the same purpose, hobby, interests, etc. in VW Golfs, so what the petty arguments about. Go start up a mk2 only forum if you think they're that great & so much better than other models. I own a mk3, and I agree on the track, the lighter mk2 car would win a lap, because of braking and cornering, but there's no need to carry on about it, in the every day real world, I'd prefer a mk3 for a much more modern image, but very similar performance.
-
Just to say my clock only go's up2 120mph it was my m8 in his delta evo2 who told me what speed i was doing 128mph on the flat 3up with full tank and his clock is right...... But this will never end so i will say top speed ??????????? no1 will ever know
All golfs are good cara 1.3 to 1.8t end of :smiley:

If most people embraced the humour of these p1ss takes and didn't bite back then half of these threads wouldn't happen in the first place. It's the reaction that people want and invariably people do react, the perfect examples of not reacting are wotto and count, they give as good as they get and I can't remember either of them getting upset about it. :smiley: wotto is always taking the p1ss out of my "green skip" and it makes me laugh that there can be good humoured banter between us. Some of you lot must have been bullied in the playground to react like you do. :wink: That's my two penneth for what it worth. :smiley:

does that remind some of the elders(gibby etc) of someone....
-
so much for this being a thread about facts not opinions. saying which is better is an opinion and we all have one. I grew up with the mk2 bein the car everyone had and the mk3 bein the new one that everyone wanted. Now i drive a mk3 and i love it, but it doesnt mean i hate the mk1,2,4,or 5. Each has its own character and deserves its place in the golf family tree.
I have to agree with gibby on this one. I like the banter coz it makes me giggle but dont take it too far!

:wink:
-

-
not sure about the limited, but the g60 def is, gti badge on rear and on side trims
-
this is a bit shate to be in the chat vw related , even though it is related somewhere, and it dosnt deserve to be in the 'nonsense' bit either, i think we need a 'my 'mk' of golf is soo much better than yours' section for all this shate. its been going on for so long on all the forums going.... its a bit f@ckin sad when peeps keep asking for slanging matches just for there private kicks, which in turn gets others backs up.......
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Just to say that over the year I have owned:
A mk1 1800 GTI A reg ( Standard apart from K&N panel filter drilled airbox and a Sebring oval rear box).... engine like a turbine ,it was a VERY smooth and responsive car to drive ...once I got used to the brakes! GREAT CAR :wink:sadly missed :cry:
A mk2 1800 8v kjet C reg ( K&N panel drilled airbox, lowered 30-40mm , G60 front ARB Sebring twin oval rear box and 7x15s ) obviously heavier than the mk1 but better brakes an more stable even before the the mods were done but not as quick as the mk1 . Also a GREAT CAR :wink: Also sadly missed :cry:
Presently I have the Vento 2.0l ( K&N panel drilled air box,Magnex Uni rear box bla bla bla ) it's no where near as quick as the other two
But I like it because it's different and despite it being heavier :cool:
I worked from 1984 until 2001 at VW dealership and I have obviously lost count of all the GTI mk1s,2s.3s,4s that I have driven (also AUDI QUATTROs and 200 Turbos). But one thing I can say is that they are all good but in different ways although when I drove a mk3 GTI for the first time I thought the badges had got mixed up as the handling felt more like a GL not a GTI :huh: ( The VR6s felt the same )
(The the car that I had the most fun in was a 1973 MINI 1275 GT with Spax adjustable shocks 6x10s with yokos and LEYLAND SPECIAL TUNING Dpt goodies on it .. it was nice to get back in that after a day working on and driving Golfs and Quattros ). :smiley:
-
Oh and it was A PROPPER MINI NOT A BL33DIN BMWUBUDOO WITH A MINI BADGE!!! :angry:
-
This maybe a wild stab in the dark VENTO, but I'm guessing you like having a K&N in a drilled air box ! :wink: :laugh::laugh:
-
NAH....... WHAT COULD POSSIBLY MAKE YOU THINK THAT?? :grin: :grin: :laugh: :laugh:
