VR6 is much heavier in fact the abf is not much heavier than the standard mk 2 engine.
Hence it needs more downforce but once it has it's a close one.

what are you on about?

you know a mk2 produces the sum total of zero downforce at any speed dont you. Infact they almost certainly generate lift rather than downforce.

Im not really sure what this topic is about, is it a question or a statement? Who knows!

@ 130 MPH (gps)   the frount of a mk2 starts to get very light,   one of the reasons i'm quite keen on undertraying mine
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

He didn't know you were there and wasn't trying.

It's possible - remember new Golfs ain't cheap and thus do attract those of a more senior demographic - could have been Robin, just pootling along.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Meh.

Its almost like a willy waggling contest. As long as you're having (safe) fun, who the f*** cares which car is quicker!

On a related note, mine kept up with a (presumabley) standard mk5 GTI last week. Discuss  :smug:

Well done Chris. It's just fun as we all (well some of us ) know it's all bollocks but fun. Luke ....Lowering your pingers to 140mm is impressive but unless we race a NASCA track then if you happen to hit a manky dead rotten rabbit in the road you wish you had not. And you said you wanted to take it lower!! :laugh:

Luke it takes you 5 minutes to get over 1 speed bump as it is... :grin:
