Out of interest i tried some 0-60 times in my mark1 16v.
its seems to average out about 7.5 secs. Usually more like 7 if i make it in 2nd.
Does this seem accurate. I've timed it my self and got someone else aswell...
-
All depends on your specific set up. I have heard of mk1 16V's doing 0-60 in the 5 second bracket but who knows what exactly they had done to it.
-
Well it takes me 5 mins to get it in 1st so my times wouldn't be all that great :D
-
The problem is keeping the power on the road... The first few yards are citical as i can just wheelspin!!
I can burn off a VR6 easily so that makes me happy.
-
ha ha u wait till 'HE' reads this bet theres blood spilled.
I was just driving round town and there was a certain 16v that couldn't keep up wi me - prob just coz the driver was old ;) :D
-
Don't know who you mean? ;)
I think we all know that the VR6 is a soft family car anyway.
-
danhock u really asking for trouble. ;) ;D
im staying out of it vr6's are one of a kind!
-
;D
U in big trouble. I'm staying out of this one.
-
i dont understand?
My Vr6 already agrees with me that he should of got a Japanese car.
-
you cheeky so and so :D :D
-
;D ;D
Out of interest '6 how fast does your car do 0-60?
-
About 7 secs :D
-
I'd probably beat you then.
;D
-
i doubt it :D
-
I don't.
;D
-
yeah alwight mate :D
-
have you got a lisp?
-
Yeah talk to the hand mate ;)
-
Why? will i get more sense out of that then?
;D ;D
-
Why? will i get more sense out of that then?

PMSL Nice comeback
-

More sense than driving your rusty old cab :D

LOL this bizarre off topic thread !! :D ;D

GTI mk3 2.0 8v = 9.5secs

GTI mk3 2.0 8v = 9.5secs
down a hill with tailwinds ;D

i can see where this is going now.................HOT TOPIC!
-
7.3 secs
Volkswagen claim 8.6 or something like that, but read another road test today proving 7.3
I think half the reason VW published an over-estimated 0-60 time for the PD150 was a political one. Whilst diesel acceptance is growing, its still not to a point where they could publish an oil burner as being quick enough to whup the (then 150bhp) spec petrol GTi, as that says as much about the petrol one as it does the diesel.
-
7.3?? thats a bit optimistic :D
-
Magazine proven mate, got the link if you want it ;)
-
If your car does it in 7.3 secs then mine will do it in 6 secs ;)
-
you're a lucky boy then :)
-
hehehe :D
give u race then, diesel no way :D
-
I'm only repeating what several magazines have achieved!
Every independant test has smashed the 0-0 time stated by VW.
But hell, I'm always up for a race, whether I win or not, so the next meet that has a strip, lets go for it!
-
What is the spec of your car?
150bhp at what rpm?
what is peak torque(in lbs ft) and at what rpm?
-
Pretty sure its:
150bhp @ 4k rpm
236lb ft @ 1900 rpm
I'm sure someone will let me know if thats wrong, but its not a million miles away.
-
What does your car rev up to?
Its interesting as your car will accelerate harder than a v6 up to 4000rpm.
However the v6 doesn't reach peak power (174bhp) until 5800rpm, at this rpm the v6 still produces 157.56 lb ft of torque.
This might explain why the v6 is so quick.
:)
-
for F**k sake
bottom line
the VR6 will beat the 150 PD TDI in a 0-60 dash
but the 150 PD TDI will piss all over the VR6 in a 30-70mph dash in 3rd gear!
... the VR6 = faster 0-60 style acceleration
The 150PD = faster in gear acceleration
-
To be perfectly honest, under normal driving, I've normally grabbed another gear at that point, as its done its best by then. Power and torque fall off pretty steeply from that point.
I'd much rather be sat at the point of peak torque, rather than on the declining curve, if you get what I mean.
It runs out of steam at about 4500rpm I think (its too cold outside to go and look!)
It took some getting used to, as it does require a modified driving style - much like you can get caught out in a very high revving car if you're doddling along at 2k rpm, you can get caught out in the PD when sitting at 4k rpm needing more go - the solution is the same in both cases, grab another gear!
-
Another thing
0-60 VR6 wins
In gear 150PD wins
in a DRAG race ... got knows who wins, but
VR6 = 12mpg
150PD = <30mpg
LMAO

HEY HEY..Come on Golfgal.. :(..Leave us old foggies out of it..Experience counts U know..Burnt off a robin rialto the oter day in me 8v..Only kiddin,but us old folk still get a feckin big grin on our kippers when we,or should I say I fook off from the lights and look across at some young pup in his souped up box of tricks and then leave em for dead. ;D..Jesus,gets me old pacemaker goin.. :P
-
By the way 0-60 in 59yrs 12months :P
-
30-70 in 3rd gear, vr6 v 150pd tdi, i think that will be closer than you think.
Come on s11eps give me all the times, from the vw owners manual.
:D
-
bollox, i don't think vw gives those figures, well not in my book :'(
-
I'll post them all in the morning when I get to the office (about 7 o'clock)
I didn't even know the manual had times in it - I guess I should learn to RTFM! I've always been one for playing with my toys straight away, rather than reading the destrucions!
-
The manual for my car only gives 0-80km/ph and 0-100km/ph.
-
100kph = 60mph .. ish
-
is there gonna be a meet at santa pod?
could settle a few arguments.
hey 6 i could bring some of those jap car brochures you were after along.
-
Jap brochures?
nah mate i want daewoo and kia brochures.
:D
-
I see your style now.
I guess the Daewoo Matiz does look quite a bit like your car.
-
Still better than a rusty tin can.
Your car is for hairdressers
G A Y
:D :D
-
100kph = 60mph .. ish
100kph = 62mph :)
-
My car may be for hairdressers but yours is for 50 something men who want to pretend they are young and sporty but havent got the bottle to go and buy a proper sports car.
;D ;D
-
I hope when i'm 50 i will have more money to spend on a car :D
-
jeez, stop b!tching.
-
Can't help it that my golf is faster ;D :D
-
Can't help it that my golf is faster ;D :D
Want to pitch it against my V6?
0-60 6.7 seconds
top speed 149 mph
Manufacturer, and "What Car" tested figures
-
Oh no its the other hairdresser :D
-
faster than a 8v gti mk3. i agree
-
and a cab :D
-
Oh no its the other hairdresser :D
Comedy genius strikes again :-\
hope you don't cut yourself on that razor sharp wit ;)
-
I hope you don't cut yourself on all that rusty sharp metal :D
-
I hope you don't cut yourself on all that rusty sharp metal :D
At least we know you have a good sense of humour, but then it was quite obvious considering your choice of car ;)
-
Ohhh he bites straight back!
-
Would you say 'No' to a vr then?
-
nice comeback 6.
your about as quick as that daewoo matiz you want.
-
Coming from a man that owns a sh!t old cab thats probably as old as he is.
:D
-
if i had 5k to spend on a car it wouldnt go on a vr6
-
Ohhh he bites straight back!
The swiftness in response from your startling humour was too much to bear - I await your next witty retort with much anticipation
Shame you cant transpose some of that speed to your car ;)
-
What did you spend on your car then?
Why did you sell the jap car in the first place if it was so good?
-
Ohhh he bites straight back!

Coming from a man whose car has a mere 112bhp :D
-
My Renault works van is probably faster than your cab :-*
-
i quite fancy a caterham 7.
Or maybe an nsx
-
Would you say 'No' to a vr then?
I've owned plaenty of 6 cylinder cars in my time, and I am a big fan of them, however - horses for courses - I have a 150 mph V6 executive car for motorways, a cab for summer days, and a motorbike for back-lane scratching.
Would you buy a race horse and ask it to pull a milk cart? or own a sun-yacht and use it for power boat racing?
I have never said my cab was quick, but then I have never said that a VR6 had style either ;D
-
How much did the saab cost you Adam?
Danhock, its all well and good to go on about better cars than a vr6, but you don't ACTUALLY own one do you? :-*
-
come on you all know my mum's micra valver is faster than all of your rides. plus it goes for ever on a tank of fuel!
-
I think my cab is better than your VR6 in many ways.
Like its better for taking the roof off, like to see you try that in your vr6
-
Bought the SAAB form an auction - 35 grand new, I got it 5 year old for 3grand, it has every conceivable extra- totla luxury limo, and blindingly quick, I reckon it is quicker than my tuned GT4 was in a straight line. But it is just too big to throw around.
-
is it a pram?, no its a cab.
f**k me its an old piss stained ladies wicker basket

Thats cheap, how many miles has it got? and other faults?
auction can be good but a bit risky.

But its a pram with a GTI badge
-
Piss stained GTI :D
-
Good job it isnt yellow adam b, if its parked there for too long the skip lorry might take it away.
:D :D

Auctions are only risky if you dont know what to look for. Had a good look over the car, and found it only needed a new back box. Everything else was fine, and mileage was average for the year.

:D :D
Had that problem once before -
I came back to find someone had tried to dump a VR6 in it
-
Just think you could have 5 kids with that big pram you got.
:D
-
so 3 more for you then golfvr6 and you'll be getting a cab?
-
Just think you could have 5 kids with that big pram you got.
:D
I think they would prefer to go in a VR6, the ride would be like being on a bouncy castle
-

I think vixsters is yellow. i know i'd rather have her car than yours.

Ahhh no wait I was having a go at a certain person but he hasn't taken the bait yet - prob coz he can't read :D
-

A god damn sexy person :D
Who is very very naughty ;D

-
No sorry, its not u!
He's even BETTER looking than u :-*
-
i find that hard to believe
-
well believe it. He's the best in more ways than one :-*
-
Wow he must be a hell of a guy. I like him since he has a 16v. :) I bet he could keep up fine but was just letting you win. Rather noble I would say. Don't know though.
Can't read though. Better leave him alone I reckon. Probably never turn out to be anything other than trouble for you. Having to read him his prescription bottles and all due to his accelerated age. :)
:)
-
Ha ha!!
Nah he couldn't keep up esp. as I wheel spun away from him 8)
My mk1 would p!ss all over his car.
U reckon I should leave him alone? He gets me in trouble but gud trouble ;) :-*
I'm starving I'd give anything for a kebab :D

;D ;D ;D
