My A8 gets to 60 in under 7 seconds, and that is a seriously powerful motor.
Not many golf's will keep up with it.

autocar tested the 16v at 8.1 to 60 when new (and 7.1 for the vr6)

You can easily get sub 7 secs to 60 in a MKIII. You need 6 cylinders and a rotary muffler not a wheezy NA 4 banger!

That's a bit harsh Nick..
You can do sub 7 seconds in a road going Mk3 - with a 4 cylinder NA engine...

You just need a different FD, Quaife diff, a bottom end good for 7500-8000 RPM and considerably over 200 BHP.
But it can be done...

You can do sub 7 seconds in a road going Mk4 - with a 4 cylinder NA engine...

How?
The na engines in the mk4 only produce 115 and 125bhp i think?

Oops, typo...meant Mk3.
The fact remains -

You just need a different FD, Quaife diff, a bottom end good for 7500-8000 RPM and considerably over 200 BHP.

More traction, lower gearing, more revs and lots more power and torque will see you under 7 seconds.
If a lardy Mk6 will do it, with 210 BHP...a low geared Mk3 with similar power but less torque, and a good 200 Kgs less mass to lug about, will do it.

Not a chance a standard 16v will do it that quick.

i dissagree, i dont think you would need 200+ horses to get to 60 in just under 7 seconds.

maybe im over estimating my figures but i could deffinetly get under 7.5 if i can do 60 in the wet in 8

Only a nutter like you could achieve it 
BTW what's an FD, i'm a bit pissed at the moment

thats the point, you DIDNT do sub 8 in the wet.. you were GUESSING!

I tested the A8 on vag com.
I managed 0-60 in 6.9 seconds, i could probably do abit better.
I also tested a vr6, it only managed 0-60 in just under 8 seconds.
There is no way that a 16v will do it in under 7, unless you're talking about Glen's car.
