Dom, the A8 is 1700kg, its aluminium chassis so its not as heavy as people think. The transmission holds it back.
Once it gets going, it is very very fast.
The 1.8T isn't that fast, and the vr6 isn't a proper V, real V engines have more torque.

1.8T is fast in a mk3 or a mk 2 tho, really they are, and the VR engine is  ALOT heavier than the 1.8T lump too.. the VR needs a turbo to be able to match a 1.8T powered Mk 2 or 3

However, id say you would beat a 1.8T golf 4 un mapped if you was in a VR, Bens goes really well. feels fast than the last one i went in anyhow

Would like to see bens  mk 3 VR against Doms MK4.. that would be a interesting one

Yes a 1.8T remapped in a mk3 would be fast. The 1.8T is virtually same weight as a vr when all the extra bits are added on.
All these cars would seem slow to you though now 

Lol yea I know what u mean. It's surreal just how good the performance on mine is compared to the old 8v lump. Tbh I like VR turbo but I just loved the S3 engine too much and had my heart set on it.

I looked into the weights after we last talked about it. I put a threa up on club Gti forum and it was found the VR lump was almost twice the weight of the 1.8t

I'm gonna be honest tho, since we did bens the VR6 engine has grown on me a lot. But I'm deffo a 1.8t guy

There is no way that a VR weighs twice as much as a 1.8T.
I looked into this a while back, the 1.8T is reinforced and the ancillaries that go with it are heavy.
They weigh virtually the same, there is very little in it.

On another note, your 1.8T much feel like rocket compared to your old 8v

correct you cant compare a turbo s3 lump to a vr6 n/a,but turbo the vr and its a different story my money would be on the 6 pot all day long

have you been in either ??   well shut up then LOL

Mine isn't standard no more. and i would say the turbo Vr would have a hard time trying to beat mine.. next year see's a bigger turbo too and 350+ BHP with LSD... 
Well no I have not been in a golf with an s3 engine but the wife had a tt 225 and It was nippy but I think the 1.8 bam engine is weak and I have been in a supercharged vr that would of smoked your golf no problem so there you go you can shut up you don't like it when people talk about anything other than the 1.8t it ain't all that that's why it was dropped for the better 2.0t
the 1.8T engine is just so easy to get big power from...

Dom would defo smoke me 0-60, 3rd is just soooooo looooong in the VR tho mite just catch him up.
I went up against a Zafira VXR a few weeks ago, 1st an 2nd he was pulling away but once I was in 3rd i was getting closer to his bumper, I saw him drop into 4th an I still had plenty in 3rd  

We'll have to settle that when mine is healthy again

Lets be honest, any 200bhp+, sub 1300kg car isn't exactly slow (an 8v Mk3 on the other hand....)! Mine is plenty quick enough for me at the moment, and right now I haven't got the cash to spare to make it any quicker. Brad's is a complete monster and is soon to become even more brutal, Ben's VR6T will be immense as well and I hope I get a ride in it when it's done!

There is no point comparing any mapped 1.8T or VR6T to a n/a VR as it's not a fair comparison.

Can we draw a line under this thread now?

Good.

I have read on many forums etc that a 1.8t lump is about the same as a VR so you are correct.

Nope it is a good and interesting thread

TBH i was uninspired by the early S3 i drove recently, low milage, good nick etc., however the 4 pot engine sounded pants 

[AudiA8Quattro]

I don't really like either now, not since i got the V8

I know what you mean, a CL500(?) V8 AMG ruined it for me, the shear power and noise of the thing! 

[johnnyvr6]

i was tempted by getting a vauxhall monaro 5.7 v8 you can get the for 7000 now and they sound mean
