keep 16v or buy vr6

Buy a Vr6 and live the dream.

A-MEN brother.

And then when you get bored of that, chuck an R32 in its place. lol

Or sell it and buy something cheaper on fuel.

If you want to get to somewhere else quickly and efficiently without undue drama, get the VR. Just don't expect it to be as engaging as the 16v. I've clocked a fair few miles in a V6 Golf (2.8 4Motion in my case but the point stands) and, while it is very effective mile dispatching tool, it does lack a bit of fizz next to my old Mk.3 Valver.

VR6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The vr6 is the ONLY performance mk3.

[bratty]

vr6 but then im biast, and 35mpg is achievable if ya aint to heavy footed

Recently considered upgrading from a 16v to a VR6 but the mpg is just ridiculous. I think I worked out that for every full tank, it would cost, roughly, an extra £10 - comparatively speaking.

Performance aint just BHP. The vr6 must be a lot heavier than 16v lump. So the 16v has got to be better in the bends.
I would much rather have a less powerfull car,but quick in the bends than one with more power and slower in the corners
I could be wrong as I haven't drove a vr6, but I'm sure I'm right.

Vr6 has a lot more torque so is a lot quicker.

Wayne talks sense again.
The vr6 has loads of low end torque compared to a 16v, the 16v does nothing until you rev it over 4000rpm.
Add a VSR, and you'll exaggerate that effect on a vr.

And tbh, the difference in weight between 2 members on this forum, is probably equal to the difference in engine weights. Its not going to be that much more.
