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...

he is right look at brooksters build thread on club gti and hes looking at at least 230 bhp with lightend 2.1l jenvey equipped 16v but i doubt op has summat like his

Also tends to mean that first becomes pretty much useless if you go too far with the ratio due to wheelspin and crawling speed around max revs in first (been there, done that lol!). Does mean you can drive like you have an old style four speed with a dog leg 1st though  .

You can't even buy a FD that high, for an 02A, so not so much of an issue!

Even with a 4.2 1st is good for 30-35 MPH...good enough to get the lardy Mk3 rolling.
Wheelspin isn't a problem if you set the chassis up properly, and run a Quaife diff...the engine is relatively low torque, don't forget - compared to a VR6 or 1.8T.

I have no problems, wet or dry, putting 190+ BHP down with low gearing.
