Bodhi is talking out of his arse yet again!  ;)
There are far more cars that the vr6 will piss on rather than the other way round.

Audi RS4 - 0-60 in 4.9 secs
Audi RS6 - 0-60 in 4.7 secs

So Audi aren't really performance cars.
Quattro handling badly? comparing the handling with the mk3 golf?
Thats about as bollox as it gets.
Oh course you DON'T ACTUALLY OWN a fast car now do you?
go back to your slow mk3 8v and carry on dreaming about owning a BMW  :D

Just pointing out that if Bodhi wants to say a vr6 isn't a performance car then maybe he should buy a performance car first  ;)

Cos 6 is a nice person and says my 8v is the best 8v there is... and ever will be cos its sexy and gorgeous and smart and clean etc etc


its da bomb basically  8)

here is sum help for mr 6

BMW 320i SE - 8.3secs to 60
BMW 325i Sport - 7.2secs to 60
BMW 330i Sport - 6.5secs to 60


so only the 330i Sport is quicker than the VR6.

8.7 seconds 0-60 ?

What on earth are you measuring these on ?

Sorry mate-  but dont you think it would be in VW FAVOUR to print the fastest results they could get in a 0 - 60 with their new car? And for our cars that is 10.4

WTF on another thread you claim that it's the MK4 8v that does 0-60 in 9 seconds and that the MK3 is quicker, do you have any idea what you're talking about or do you just make up random rubbish as and when you feel like it?!?!?!?!?

WARNING - Please ignore everything written by Black_GTI as it would appear everything he writes is just plain bull sh1t!!!!!!!!!!!
