MK2 Vs. MK4 On Top Gear

[BobbyT]

i have blown off mk3 and mk4 gti's!  not on top end but through the gears!

My Mark two VR6 beats an MK4 GTI 1.8T with a chip and exhaust. On both the 0-60 and top end (I have tested this).

But you're using an engine out of a mk3......

Makes me laugh when Mk2 owners slag off anything later than their own model, yet they can't wait to stuff in the engines and interiors out of later and better cars, and then claim their car is a fantastic mk 2........

As far as I'm concerned, the minute you start transplanting engines/interiors from other cars, you loose your 'moral highground' to claim you're driving a superior car.

^His cars an MR2 with a ferarri bodykit you see



  comon tell them the truth

[S11EPS]

They didn't make a replica kit for the 348, only the 355.....

But I especially commissioned one because I was sooooooooo desperate to drive an MR2........

I've been rumbled.....

I'm planning on buying another mk2. a 16v this time. then major work lightening it.

some funny stuff said here

the only mk4's that would have a chance against a mk2 16v would be the 4motion ones, even the 170bhp v5 doesnt have a chance and the mk3 vr6 would only win in a straight line mk3 16v again no chance anyone who wants to argue race me

not really because i consider the chassis as the car and engine etc are components of it. isnt putting a vr6 in a mk2 and making it quicker than the mk3 saying the mk2 chassis is better and look what would have happened if vw put a better engine in it?

I think the argument is about factory standard cars, NOT ones that you have dropped and ubér silly enigine in......
