Title: GOLF MK3 VR6 vs TOYOTA MR2 TWIN ENTRY TURBO...
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 10 August 2012, 10:42
Hi

I would like to know what are your thoughts on the above cars,

I have both as well as a MK3 GTI, But i often have this convo with my brother on which is faster,

The MR2 is quick, But once the VR Gets going from 3rd gear upwards, i think the MR2 will struggle to pull away from the V6, lol

:)

Its not a Twin Turbo... I Wish  :laugh:

Its a Twin Entry Turbo,

We've not tried racing it against the VR, But we raced the MR2 against my mates Glanza V, which is running 180BHP, and it was 2 car length's behind.

So he's giving it in to bolt a TD04 Turbo unit, which is off a Subaru Impreza, and his plans are running it 220BHP...

I ask the question if the VR6 will keep up, as it has more torque than the MR2 which has more BHP, But as we all know torque is the way forward.  :laugh:
