Figures are irrelevant when it makes this noise.  This is my mates all VR, standard bar the obvious induction kit

VRs are far too long geared. Sound good, mpg stinks.

If the gears were shorter, the mpg would stink you out of it completely  :evil:

Don't forget that the VR6 Golf3 is the only car ever to have been featured on the cover of CAR magazine (or any magazine for that matter) as a lemon, with a VW badge stuck on it.

Good NA motors should do 100bhp per litre.  Where's the missing 100bhp on the VR6? That's the question I want answered.  It's like the Rover V8 of the VW world.  Makes a lovely noise, can't produce power for toffee.

Because it was detuned.
No-one slags off the corrado vr6, which essentially is just a tweaked golf engine.
