^^^^^^ fair one, but you have to admit that the mk3 8v gti was NOT a real GTI! its a fact, VW f**ked up with it, they got slated at the time and thats why the VR was born to add some performance!  :smiley:

Yeah that is correct. But the vr was actually born when the first mk3's came out late 1992, so it wasn't like vw made cos the 8v was sh!t!  :laugh:
But you are right, the 8v was really a GL, the 16v which came 1994 was quick, and the vr6 is f**king rapid  :laugh:
Its the same with mk4's, the 8v wasn't really a gti either, but the 1.8T and 1.9pd 130 and 150tdi are rapid. Infact the diesel lumps are definately the quickest of the lot, excluding the vr6 24v  :cool:

Just to throw another log on the fire...

If your gonna get a vr6 its gotta be a corrado. The VR in the mk3 may be a sh!t hot engine, but, its still in a mk3 golf!

When i think vr6, it think corrado, and then think, oh yeah the mk3 did a lesser version too didn't they!

Let the fight begin... again!... :evil:

I've driven both, and believe me the main difference is chassis.
Lower the golf, and you get very similar performance for half the price  :grin:
