Title: Thinking of getting a VR6
Post by: 8vRicey on 01 September 2007, 13:35: Been thinking the MK2 is a little slow now, although when i got her i was well impressed. So i was thinking about the VR6, although if im honest i think the MK3's look pants!! Still love the look of a nice MK2, so what should i do ??

Post by: JWS Mk3 on 01 September 2007, 18:25: Ive got both a Mk3 VR6 and a Mk2 16v, and the Mk2 pretty much as fast as the VR6. So if you dont want the hassle of a Mk2 VR6 conversion and dont want a Mk3 then get a 16v. I was 'forced' into a 2 litre conversion just after i bought my 16v and its faster than the VR.

I personally would rather have the VR6, but i quite like the Mk3s.
