mk2 16v vs mk3 VR6

[ItsHarry]

I was pondering this last night. It must have been done, what would win?

Straight line drag race.

Time bonus for pedestrians mamed/terrified

My (now stored) golf would annihilate a standard VR. (until it got towards topend)

But then mine wasn't standard.

The VR can pull strong, and has a extra 30bhp and i cannot remember how much torque to haul it along. So standard against standard the VR would win.

just depends on which 16v then ay slick? 

i would prob put my money on the vr if it was standard against standard, even though they weigh more there is still a signifiant amount of more power available

[SLIM-DUB]

i hope my vr is quicker than a 16v,extra weight and my 20st aside i still reckon itd do a mk2! not ures tho slick,standard to standard! but then mine aint standard so.........................

As Slick says. My 9a 16v was quicker until top end. MK2's are less boaty too.

I quite fancy a mark 3 vr6, think i am going to see about getting a 3 door highline next year 

[VR6_ROB]

thats why a lot of people put them in mk2's
i been told they are like a animal in them

Yeah right!

My 35k VR would wipes it's sphinkter in your mk2, and sounds much better that any 4 pot!

I wish I'd kept it now.

Shame you did get rid of it, you would have enjoyed watching me sail off down the pod 1/4

Seconded!!!!!!!!

Anyway at the very least a four pot 16v will well out live th vr, mines got 142k on the clock and feels as tight as can be. Alright its had a bit of head work but who hasn't 167bhp and not alot of weight (not to mention handling), me thinks vr6 stands no chance unless you slap a supercharger onboard!!!!
