The VR6 must bloody fly

forget the tweaks to the engine, the corrado is a better car to start with

Yeah you're probably right Mark 
The corrado vr6 is a great car.
Wayne, i think the corrado vr6 had a bigger exhaust than the golf too.
The golf vr6 i sold to my mate a few years back is still going strong, well the engine and gearbox is, everything else is going wrong, failed window motors, sunroof, heater blower, rust....

i do fancy a vr6 tbh, but the raddo vr6's are still expensive for a good un. might have to get a converted mk2 instead

The sight of one of these in MK2 gives me a hard on  :embarassed:

100bhp per litre isn't a big ask and nor is a it 'modern' concept.  You only have to look back to lightly breathed on Lotus Twinks from the 1960's (a Ford Anglia block, lest we forget) to see 160bhp from 1.6litres.

you say that but lotus engine are race tuned, whereas the VR6 is not.

My dad has a race tuned 1600 running down draft twin 45 carbs, a compleate race spec drive train set up, lightened flywheel etc and it sits at about 150bhp.

so if your going to go ahead and compare a lotus with a standard vw what you should infact do its get lotus to tune a vr6 engine and then compare the figures

H'mmmmm, 1950's technology, vs 1980's technology.

Do 30 years count for so little in engine development terms?

Apparently so.....

But you are quoting the exception, not the general rule.
In general, cars from the 80's/90's weren't producing 100bhp per litre, certainly not hot hatches.
Get out of the mk3 section, you anti mk3 person
