Mk2 8v/16v and Mk3 16v stats?...

[golfvr6]

I think your reading 0-80 km/h, you want 0-100km/h thats 0-62mph.

dont know what the 0-60 times are, i had a 91 8v about 6 years ago, felt quick then, got a mk4 1.8 non turbo gti thought she was quick just got a 1986 3dr 8v for ?300 as a winter runner for work and it wipes the floor with me mk4 and that anint that slow so the old 8v's arent as slow as people make owt!! lol

Ok I'll clear this one up once and for all, as I've just scanned the VW 'Specification and equipment 1990 model year' (issue January 1990) which shows the performance figures for both the 8v and 16v GTi's:

Performance:                        GTi              GTi 16V
-------------------------------------------------------------
Top Speed, mph/Kph              119/191       129/208
Acceleration, secs 0-50 mph     6.5              6.0
Acceleration, secs 0-60 mph     8.3              7.9
