Ready to race!
I have had a debate with my friend about which of the 2 cars I have owned on which was faster. My friend thinks my GTI now is faster, but I think the Jetta might have been.

GTI:
2 door
6SM
P-flow
3100 lbs?

Jetta VR6
5SM
Lighten flywheel
Autotech 262 cams
P-flow
New south intake gasket (lower temps)
Mangaflow exhaust
Catch can
60/40 cup kit
Maybe 2800 lbs?

Which do you think would be faster?

My stage 2 Mk6 Gti smokes my friends Mk5 R32, he has every performance mod except for boost... Probably a little different from the Jetta since the weight and AWD, but boost the VR and it's a beast!

Pretty much the gti shouldn't have a problem winning. The reason vw didn't take the traditional vr6 route on the R was b/c it was less efficient than the current fsi setup.

The vr6 will however sound godly doing that run though.

I believe that since the MKV R32 is a heavy weight. A 12V VR6 stage I is like 250 whp at 6 psi. That is even with out an intercooler.

Anyway I guess I miss that NA VR6 power band, and no rev hang or delay in acceleration like the GTI. The Jetta would pull hard all the way to 7k.

VW NUT!
Probably about the same. As soon as you get tuning, its all over though.

If its a MK3 VR6 with cams and bolt ons and a MK6 with just an intake the VR6 is gonna win. When I had a 12V VR6 it put down 175hp with just a tune. With cams, more bolt ons and lighter platform (I had a MK4) I have no doubt an MK3 VR6 driven and running properly should win.

Yes the MkIII had autotech 262 cams with a chip to match the cams. Its not a huge gain, but it helps get the most out of the cams and smoothens the idle out a little. I ran 93 octane in the VR6 not that it would make a huge difference.
