ok so...

from the perf table on the main site here..

8v - 124
16v - 134
vr6 - 138


confirms those figures are pretty accurate :)




someone mentioned before that they'd like rolling road print outs of stock golfs for comparison, think it'd be a really good idea for the other 'but mine pulls away quicker than yours' arguments

125mph indicated in 5th on a French Autoroute. Engine felt like it had some left aswell, but the car was pretty full and the steering started getting a bit light, so I settled down into a 110mph cruise.

8v of course.
