What spec Mk4, 150 or 180bhp?

Autocar did a test last year between mk1, mk2 8v, mk3 16v and mk4 anni (180bhp) and pitted them against one another on a track.

The anni was the fastest of the day, lapped the circuit (i forget which one) approximately 2 seconds quicker than the Mk3, which was second quickest.

Hope that helps...

The most common Mk4 1.8T is 150bhp, the same power as the Mk3 16v 2.0.  The Mk3 is a bit lighter, and so I'd expect it to be a wee bit quicker.

Having said that the 1.8T is well more tunable - easily capable of 200bhp.  ;D

^^^ That's because he's a diesel convert!!!
