    I'd believe a VR6 could eat a rex. Not the most intellectual debate, but hey, it goes to show how well engineered the old girls are. Just need a snail hanging off the side and you could go after M3's ...

    I don't want to turn this into a kill thread, but i know for a fact that near stock GL's (the older 2E version) can trounce most pre BA/VZ 6's, and hold their own against mitsubishi 380's as well. Not much perhaps compared to a rex-eating vr6, but remember they're an old 8v!!!

    Nice work Steve

    Cheers!!!

    I have mentioned it a million times B4, but again - I want a VR6!!!

    Considering have NO money at the moment, thanks to working only 2 days a week (so can spend time with Jaz), my VR6 dreams are smouldering at the moment... By the time i can afford one they'll all be thrashed to wrecks!

    Oh well, there's always insane Mk4 GTI's to aspire to (like GPK's)

    Yeh I've done it from a standing start. Theres about half a car length in it on the change to 5th. The VR pulls away further then because the gearing is taller. On the other hand, dont try it from a 50kph start. Once they have their turbos spooled up they're pretty damn quick.

    My mate has a SV6 Commo company car with a cold air intake. My VR6 kills it without fail. Even 3rd gear pulls from 80 to 130 it still wins. To an earlier post, taking on M3s is another story. My Vr has nothing on my dads M3. Maybe with a snail pushing another 80hp it might keep up. At the end of the day, the VR is not that quick, its more of a fun, light, chuckable car through mountain twisties - and I think thats why a lot of us own them. I know its the case for me. Ive owned a lot of high powered cars, and the VR is *almost* as much fun as my old EVO6 through the twisties (Still not a scrap on my old SVIII RX7 with 350rwhp, but hey, it seats 4, use half the fuel, attracts half the insurance premium, and is 1/3 the price). Compared to an older WRX, they provide similar grin value, are cheaper to buy, similar to own and run, and have way better resale value.

    my vr6 is fully hectic bro. I can rip dose WRXs in reverse.

    I think we need to be realistic here boys.
    Off boost a WRX is a slug. Well the models i have experienced are anyways. So if u catch one off guard you can put them away.

    But yeah.. When those things are wound up a vr6 has no chance.

    Maybe when Seb finishes his VR6 drag car then we can claim victory over this one
