The mk3 gti is a good solid car but it isn't fast. All this stuff about the 8v have more torque low down than a 16v is a bit of nonsense. The 16v is altogether a much better engine, much more of a gti, and very under-rated in my opinion.
If you want a really fast mk3 then buy a vr6, now thats a proper gti!

I can't be botheredto check my handbook for the times but I'm sure a mk2 16v does it in 8 secs dead. If that's right then something obviously went wrong after that... ???

The 16v is CAPABLE of 8.0secs but the handbook states 8.7secs

just like the 8v seems capable of 8.7/9.0 secs but the book states 10.2 (or 10.9 for the partially blind)  ::)

Er the owners handbook that comes with the car.
I'll write it out for you

85kw 0-100 km/h 10.9 secs

Thats the same as 0-62mph
VW are conservative with their figures, so it will be faster than that. But still not very fast is it?

The 8v is not capable of doing it in 8.7/9.0. Just face it your car is a plodder.

This saturday (if the roads a not slippery) ill get my bro in the car with a stopwatch... find a nice clear flat road and blitz it.

If I get pulled he can show his warrant card  8)

I've done it counting... but thats not exactly reliable.

Yep, its an old tank, but it does have a decent engine in it, it does 0-60 before next week.
