Who needs a VR6 when youve got a TDI....

Found these figures in a back issue of VW Driver.

A mk3 VR6 and a Mk4 GT TDI PD (115)

VR6&nb sp;TDI
Power& nbsp;174&nbs p;115
Torque 173&nb sp;210
0-60&n bsp;7.1&nbsp ;8.0
0-70&n bsp;9.6&nbsp ;10.5
30-50 (3rd)5.4&nbs p;4.0

30-50 (4th)6.9&nbs p;5.7

50-70 (3rd)5.1&nbs p;5.2

50-70 (4th)7.1&nbs p;6.2

50-70 (5th)9.5&nbs p;7.0

And that's only the 115 TDI.

impressive

one major major factor tho

the sound to me thats worth a hell of a lot

im waiting for diesel conversions for mk2's to be a little more common so i can get one done

 

errr a Mk4 GT TDI PD (115) doesn't do 0-60 in 8 seconds.

 

just looked it up, it's actually 10 seconds.

130 does it in 9.3

150 does it in 8.3

therefore all the other times are crap too, sorry

 

Gott sei dank, your ego is intact.

 

danke

 

Similar.

 

Hmmmm. Well you can quote whatever you like obviously, however my Audi A4 115 PD does 0-62 in 9.6 secs according to the manual. So 0-60 should be around 9 secs. The Golf is quite a bit lighter....

it's either a miss-print or has been chipped.

 

Don't forget you've got a Highline b, nothing can beat that

 

whatever the figures I know which car I'd rather drive/be seen in

 

EXACTLY. i mean, come on drew ffs....

 

Errrmmm - What about bhp?!!
I've heard it's quite important!

 

For what?

 

But BHP is calcualted from torque

 

dont forget that if you drive a diesel and use the performance then it will still drink loads of fuel, and you will have to listen to it rattling away.

 

It's a wind up!
