Few Pics For Veedubgti8v

[golfvr6]

the vr engine is nothing like the 8v engine.
it is a 15 degree V not a straight 4
the vr feels more like a valver with more low down torque, ultimately most of the torque is quite high up the rev range.

The mk3 16v DOES NOT get to 60mph in 8.3secs....it gets to 60 in 8.7secs.

Check your owners manual.

Yeah but what does the Mk3 8v do?? 0-60 slower than most family saloon cars.

[Cupra Turbo]

0-60 slower than most family saloon cars

Its quicker than Zetec Mondeo's, Primera's etc

but wait a sec...

lets bold this one

THE 16v IS SLOWER THAN FAMILY SALOONS... HONDA ACCORD, FORD MONDEO ST220, WAIT FOR IT .... MG ZS180!!!

If you want to quote 8.7 sec for the 16v
then the 8v is 10.9 sec

Check your owners manual

why does this fool slag off 16vs for being slow.. when he drives a tank? you're way over defensive.. it aint even funny.


1) the times quoted on sites out there and that includes this one (which quotes 8.5) have taken their time from roadtests. so saying "the manufacturers quote 8.7, but some magazine road tests..  have that down to around 8 secs" yes its a bit subjective.. but hey.. saying your 8v is faster a vr6 is just the same thing.

2) to be really picky (when in rome..) the 8.7 time is for 0-100 kph.. not 0-60... so 0-60 would be a little less as 100 kph is a little over 60mph


point is.. if you want to argue over whats better.. for gods sake dont be driving


1) the slowest car out of the whole mk3 GTI range

2) the first car in the entire GTI range to fall significantly behind the rest + probably the most hated gti of em all.. for ruining the mark.


this kinda speaks for itself...

Well said Oversteer.

To be honest i've nothing against the Mk3 Gti (8v or 16v).
They are quite good lokking cars..
My problem is with certain people who insist that the Mk3 8v is a 'great' car and implying its faster than a VR6. Personally i wouldnt have either.

Just stop pretending your car is fast. its not. End of.

Maybe not fast but Torque'e

I would have a VR6, sounds like they have plenty of torque all the way through the rev range.

then the 8v is 10.9 sec

Uhm, I think you'll find its quoted at 10.3secs.  

so let me get this straight, your going off internet based roadtests etc yes?

ok, so that means

8v = 8.7secs
16v = 8.3secs

im happy now... thanx for that.


oh and I was JOKING when I said my 8v is quicker than a VR6 ... jeez, do u lot not understand sarcasm and jokes?
