Sorry - just logged on and missed all the posts since mine on page 2!!!

Bodhi - sorry mate but i had a Peugeot 306 XSI (135bhp model - 98/S) and there is no way, no way in hell an 8V would keep up in a straight line, and absolutely no way in the twisty's. My VW is far more twitchy and flexy than my 306 - in fact my 306 would absolutely kick its arse over any course - and both my golf and 306 were bog standard.

In fact my 306 could kick a mk3 gti 8v & 16v in a straight line and round the bends. Superb car but a bit rattly. Kinda wished i hadnt sold it!!

Don't matter what you say Blackgti, 0-60 on a mk3 gti 8v IS 10.9 secs.

Sorry GolfVR6 - Me and you see eye to eye most times but it definitely isnt 10.9.  It really is more like a late 9's -flat 10.

But is that a German passenger - 18 stone, dressed in leiderhosen with a silly hat, vienerschnitzel in one hand, jug of volksburg brew in the other, big lumping great german beard and 5 porn films in each pocket?
