The vr6 is the ONLY performance mk3.

There is no preformance mk3, an im a 16v owner, no mk3 preforms well in comparison to more modern cars so no old golf is a preformance car in my eyes, mk1, mk2 an mk3's. An lets face it for a 2.8 v6 the vr6 aint all that!

the vr6 isnt a v6....

Hence its called a vR6. Not like the later mk4 V6 4motion ;)

But yeah, in comparison to newer cars, a mk5 tdi is just as quick. lol

I have said this before but will say it again, the VR6 was never marketed as a GTI or hot hatch but was aimed at BMW and Merc owners, hence the better spec and pricing, might be worth bearing in mind that not everyone on here has a GTI.

A Vr6 is not a V6 it is a narrow 15deg engine with one cylinder head and was designed to be as compact as possible.
