GTI Mark 6 Owners

[R32UK]

MKIV's and MKV's did it for a while when the MKV first came out, but it didn't last long and we all knew what the outcome would be

Yeah, the MkVI 

You can't simply put that without any true justification

Stock MKV GTI v's Stock MKVI GTI the tale of the tape and reviews says 10% better, but what about ED30 MKV GTI - it cost about the same as a MKVI GTI, but is more powerful and more tuneable!

Not as clearcut as you think

But we now have the Golf R on our side 

MK6 wins!

The Golf R has the same engine as the Edition 30 and is heavier and has 4WD drivetrain losses to cope with.

Do you think VW would let me hook my Performance box to the R when I test drive it next week?

hmmm its going to be a close one to call... but with an extra 40bhp on the ed30 and roughly the same engine weight, and extra traction i would guess the R pips it just!

Not against yours obviously

You are right, but I am talking about stock v stock here.

My Edition 30 when stock did 5.59 seconds to 60 and 14.2 to 100mph, so it would take a DSG Golf R to match it to 60. I haven't seen any figures for 0-100mph for the Golf R yet.

On the twisties in the dry or wet I'd edge towards the R though.

I do not want to start a whole new topic so I adress MK VI owners in this one...

I do not like much crome in an interior and the MK VI has lots of it.. .

Now is it possible to change the silver strips on the doors and dash for say carbon or simular...

Anyone any experience..
