I am guessing he was toying with me.....

So I just popped out to halfrauds to get some cleaning stuff and as I went onto the dual carriage way I noticed a MK3 coming up behind me.

What with me in my new toy, the MK2 Gti i thought I would floor it.  He just caught me up, i moved over seeing I had been done and of course - pushed a bit harder.  He went past, just, and then I saw the back.  It was a VR6, I think on a P plate.

I am assuming that his seeming "struggle" to catch up and go past was an act and he could have pi**ed all over me some time before??

Mine is just an '88 Mk2 8v Gti with a supersprint on it.

I had fun tho.........

Ordinairilly yes, but some people don't look after their cars the way they should, could of been one that had'nt been serviced for a while and was low on power.

The mk2 8v will get in front at the lights, but not for long.
However on a dual carriageway, i'm afraid a good vr6 would leave an 8v for dead.

Mk2's don't really understeer, the mk3 vr6 i had did, that big heavy engine in front of the front axle 
How's the mk2 going? they are good fun so enjoy!!

Is going good, she runs absolutely perfectly (apart from a worn engine mount and some  slight vobration when breaking)

and she is dam fun to ride

The worn engine mount could also account for the vibration when braking.
I've owned 3 mk2's in my time, and i've still got a broken one on my drive
