Mk2's Vs 106 GTI

[jasonpi]

my 2 pence...

right i had a gti 8v and last year when i was a wee bit happy on the throttle i hit a telegraph pole at over 70mph.
to be honest the front of the golf was f***ed no battery couldnt find it anywhere i hit the pole dead centre splitting the engine in half spun 5 or 6 times no wheels on the front???my bird had no seatbelt on headbutted the window and it didnt smash?! come to a stop in a wall and after all this we both walked out of the car uninjured well she had to go to hospital for concusion but i was a ok
could you say the same for a sardine tin

I have owned both 8 and 16 valvers and I would say that there a far better car than the 106 gti. 106 gti are for wee boys that think there cool. The first day I got my 8v I raced one and I overtook it at about 70. I was very dissapointed and I think they are overated especially by my mates who are into pugs. The fact is how many 106 gti's will you see driving about in 10 years? Very Few!

Thats why 106's are faster than golfs, as they accellerate buts fall off making them lighter and lighter and as we all know it's all bout power to weight!

oh no its not, as i was told by a certain member of this place over and over, the mk3 has a more powerful engine therfore is the faster car.......

Last RWYB I went to before Bugjam there were some guys there with 8 valve, 16 valve and VR6  mk 2 + 3 golfs all as standard as each other and an immense battle started all swapping cars and stuff and in the end mk2 was faster in every version by about 1 second. good watching and settled a few grudges!
