Dave_ciw 507 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Saw this on top gear Clarkson reconed it wasnt "VW just havent finished it yet" As it didnt corner well he said brakes and suspension needed work. But it is a 200mph golf so who gives a f**k about anything else lol Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I would have to dis agree with most golfs are poor in corners ............ My Mk11 was fantastic on 3 wheels and the way the VR6 has been set up by VW specialists its like a go-cart ........ Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 My last VR6 was a bit nose heavy in the corners but this one is balanced really well I love they way she handles. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 It guested at GTi International in 2007 a few months before TG. I was surprised when it actually moved under it's own 'steam' at the end of the day. My money was on it being a mock up. Link to post Share on other sites

RAPgolfvr6182 2 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 u running different suspension set up on this one? Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Definately I got the car for a bargain price and it came with a book written in german and englash of the tests that were carried out and 3 different sets of suspension that were applied as well as neuspeed braces fitted all underneath the car. They settled on Koni dropped and stiffed. The only thing is the ride is pretty awful lol. But if I want to take corners fast I cannot knock it. The last vr had koni adjustables on it but were only dampness adjustable not height. If I slightly jack front wheel the whole car lifts along that side. My wife says its too low and too hard not practical with speed bumps........... I tell her walking is fine for u 2 Link to post Share on other sites
