ukdub 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 .......a 4motion golf and a vr6 with a shrick inlet manifold?If yes, how do they compare? As you may or my not know the 4motion has a kind of shrick fitted as standard. Link to post Share on other sites
silverline 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 a friend of mine has a 4motion i ve not been in it yet but i ve heard people say its really fast, i personally wouldnt race 1. Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 aint they the same engine but the 4motion 24v or am i wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
ukdub 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I am lucky to have both but i am selling the 4motion and keeping the vr6. The 4motion has so much better low down torque but seems to run out of puff at the top end. I think the vr6 is the faster car only if you keep it over 4k revs. Around town the 4motion is a fast car, but i put that down to the torque. Thats why i asked about the shrick.

Eat this 2 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 vr6 r proper quick mid range with a schrick gives a genuine shove in the back at 3k rpm Link to post Share on other sites
ukdub 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Is it worth the money? Link to post Share on other sites
apd 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 a standard vr will keep pace with a 4motion[from experience].if you've got disposable cash fit a s/c,a big hike in performance.more money well spent than the schrick alone. or fit both if you have the suspension and brakes sorted.3k for a s/c-250+ bhp or schrick 210bhp?

binliner 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Ive driven an amd remapped 4mo and I agree they feel quicker low down but dissapointing higher up the rev range... a nice comfortable car but too heavy and detached for my liking... I'd never swap my VR for one. Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Having driven both a shricked VR (my Own) and an AMD tuned 4 motion, I can definately say my VR is quicker. The 4 motion is so much more refined though, and does feel effortlessly quick and smooth in comparison.I also have some on board footage of just how much quicker my VR is compared to a tuned 4 motion, all taken on a private road of course ;o) Link to post Share on other sites
silverline 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 of course.its surprising how used to the power you can get. i was driving my vr around and thinking this just doesnt feel that quick any more so i decided to use my camera fone and film the speedo as i was giving it some stick, on a private road, then played it back after and you see how fast the speedo needle climbs and you think damn that is actually still a really fast car!!i love it!

matth76 1 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 The standard (174bhp ODB1) VR6 on paper has the same stats as the 4 motion (both 0-60 low 7 secs)... I wouldn't say there's much in it. However the VR6 will definitely have the edge if it is an ODB2 or even lightly modified in any way. Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The Mk4 4Motion has 204BHP to the Mk3 VR's 174BHP, but all the extra power does is help to offset the transmission loss through the 4wd and the extra weight of the Mk4 body.The 4Motion is slightly quicker from 0-60 due to the extra off-the-line traction the 4wd gives, but once on the move, the Mk3 VR6 is the quicker car.

ukdub 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The 4motion can't hit 60 in second gear as well. Not sure what the 2 cars are like to 100. Has anyone got the figures? Link to post Share on other sites
