You need to do something mate
after all the mk2 digifant gti is only 0.5 sec quicker to 60 than the lardy mk3 8v

marcus123, ive only test drove 1 gti at the mo, an 8v was nippy, but the bodywork was in a bit of a mess, and the engine needed a lttle bit of work dun...... was thinking about about it then walked away 2 much time,  money and hassle, im jst gonna keep looking 4 a good example

Yeah vr6 knows what he's talking about, as opposed to vw....

Yeah Zoid,
THATS WHY THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS 0-60 IS 10 SECONDS
OF COURSE VW PRODUCED THE OWNERS MANUAL

JUST EXCEPT IT MATE
YOUR CAR IS NOT A HOT HATCH

and of course ZOID knows more than vw who actually made the car that goes with the owners manual....

that sums up both models end of...

The thing is tin and vr6 would never accept it, even if the team of VW engineers who built the Mk2 GTI said so!

Even the chap that done the review says 'THE 16V GETS TO 60 ABOUT 1.5 SECS QUICKER THAN THE 8V'

Well you're the one who can't except it, it's there in black and white for you to see with your own eyes, get over it!

Oh how about putting down a wager of your choice, that says may standard 8v (other than a k&N panel filter) will do 0-60 in under 10 seconds, I'd be more than happy to take your'e money off you  

[golfvr6]

Its also in black and white

gti 8v digifant 0-60 in 10 secs

you also own the same owners manual

I don't dispute that it is faster than that, vw quote 7.8 for the vr6, but to take off nearly 2 sec, well thats just dreaming mate

i KNOW that my 8v digifant will do 0-60 in under 9 seconds as it has been tested on a track day
