Yep thats correct, thats what vw quote in the owners manual.
Bear in mind that my owners manuals also quotes the 8v to do 0-62 in 10.9 secs.
VW figures are always understated.

Strange... my owners manual states summet like:

8v GTI = 10.2
16v GTI = 8.7
VR6 = 7.4

So, im guessing that later model mk3's are quicker... musta changed summet.

I know mine is different to ealier models cos it uses a Hitachi MAS... so it probably has other alterations too.

So... least now im only 2.4secs slower.

and parkers quotes my car @ 9.6secs ... and with my K&N i'll be 9.3secs ... so im 1.5secs slower

... im also being VERY optimistic LOL!!

The newer models aren't any quicker, i don't know why vw changed the figured. Original figures must have been too conservative  ;)

yes it is.. ohh sorry.. YES IT IS.. (if i followed your example shouting makes me right.. yeah?)

doesnt meant its a better car, its just quicker.

they're matched pretty well.

btw due to the initial lag an induction kit will hamper your all important 0-60 time, you'll sound fast.. you'll get a bit more go, and guzzle petrol like georgie best knocks back pints (+ his soon to be ex-wife..).
