Best looking .:R

[TazzyVR6]

The Mk4 will be a classic, the others will just be golfs...

[Spyda]

My stock VN 5L Calais can beat a stock R32 in a straight line. Probably almost out run one on a dry track too! & the VN is an older car too!

Really? Honestly? Stock VN 5L?
I can smack stock 5L around in the mk2.
Ive raced a stock VS v6 against a VN 5L and they where dead even up untill 130 and it was stupid slow geting to 130.
mk4 r32 cannot be that slow

[bombsquad21]

If I was buying a new current car, I would rather buy something thats got more grunt (at least 400+hp) & is local & would blow them out of the weeds in every challenge, cause I know these cars first hand from what they are like eg build quality, performance, reliability etc.

um...I'd have to politely disagree. But in the R stakes its MK4 over and over...

Mk4 R32 is not that slow. Does 0-100 in 6.6 secs and has 237 Bhp.
Stock VN 5L does 0-100 in 7.1 secs (as claimed by GMH) and has 221 Bhp.

Everyone knows someone else with a faster car. For instance I had a lancer that would SMACK modified 350 chev utes.. Big deal

Can we end the thread here? Haha. Perfect words.

Mk4 by far. Although, the mk6 is 2nd! mk5's are just not nice imo.

If its one thing you can count on Spyda, is I don't bulls%$t about this stuff.

My stock VN ran 14.8@ high 90'smph on very crappy & hard Bridgestone tyres which obviously had wheel spin.

This was before it had the VL turbo diff. gears fitted too! Not bad for a 300+K stock smelly V8

From the figures I can find on stock R32's. its about the same!

How far has a VW all out performance road car come since my 90 model crappy VN!

I don't think your Mk2 would stand up to it either sorry.

My mk1 gti modded NA 1.8L with approx 120-130hp only ran a 15.8@84?mph. I don't think an aussie spec let alone a UK spec mk2 8V would get near it either.


I've ran remapped Mk5 gti's in the crummydore & stay with them without breaking a sweat with the A/C on & in blue "D" (overdrive)

Polo GTI's are a whole different story though. They suck the paint of anything & everything & have some bare patches on the VN front bumper to prove the theory!

mk4!!!!!!! any day!!!

Disagree with what part of the comment?

The part that locally built cars are faster (which they are)

or

About the build quality/ reliability comment?

I work on them for a living & have probably driven more later mode - current VW's than the entire vww forum put together!

So I only "just" have alittle bit of an idea about what they are like

Not surprised to see the Mk4 is the stand out. haha.

A quick google has a standard vn ss doing a 15.2 - 15.7 quarter and a mkIV r32 doing a 14.2-14.7.
