yeh ive seen that in evo two,

trust me tho, good 8valves should do 0-60 in 8.3

good 16valvers 7.9

bet my 8 is closer to that.

i had some wayne kerr come to look at my fiat coupe turbo that owned a golf vr6 and said it was slow.
this isnt true is it?
this guy was a f**kin thingy timewaster anyway! :D >:(

Don't know about the fiat mate.
I would say that a vr6 would piss on an 8v for sure.
So stick to racing 16v's  :D ;)

OK i just went out today and tested this... my 8v digifant gti did it in 8.1 seconds and that was with my mate recording the time!!! and i really cant see the argument now, but im sure the 16v will be about 7 seconds flat.

Whatever really.
Every car is different, some might quick , some might be slow.
Problem with older cars is you don't really know if its been modified in its life, well not for sure.

pretty much, i mean it was an old guy who bought it from new so it wasnt thrashed,  then he sold it to one of my dads mates but he didnt drive it cos the brake calipers were ceased up. There was mention that a new exhaust was fitted but it just looks like the original, then i got it and its on 129,000 miles. thats about it

i kno my coupe was quick, o-60 in 5.6 seconds! :D

but wayne kerr that came to look at buying my coupe said that his vr6 was slow and crap for a 2.9 litre car :D

for 2.9 litres i think he may of bin right, i hate to agree with him thos cos he was a cun@t
