Enjoys the Abuse
I've ridden in a 3L portmatched SeVT and a Jetta VR6. SeVT felt faster. AND that was with timing ever so slightly off.

This site's member demographic is spiraling downhill, unfortunately. We have a wave of new idiots who do nothing but piss off the ornery, impatient old farts...
On topic, a VR6 in anything is nothing to write home about. At the strip, I'm sure a 3L which has been installed and tuned properly would spank the VR into next week.

Yeah, but in the twisties, I still think the VR6 has the advantage.

Once again, it depends on the model. I, for one, think it would be an even larger spread in the contours favor if turns were introduced. The CDW-27 chassis was a far better designed and engineered chassis than anything MKIII or MKIV.

I highly doubt it. My old 3.0L would rape my old WRX threw the twisties....and if anyone says a VR6 handles better than a WRX is on crack.

i think we need to make this site invite only now 
and yeah it really depends on the vr6...98 era? i think an svt contour could beat an mk4.

It's called common sense. It's an unwritten rule, sorry.
can't handle the truth eh?
2 wrongs don't make a right. If kids want to run their ••••box's down the quarter then by all means they have the right. better than street racing past minivans that will blow the doors off both cars, which is clearly what the OP is talking about.
and your last question is not relevant
I'm with this guy. Stupid n00bs
Seriously, why am I getting attacked and not the half brain dead OP. I mean he's bench racing....really? REALLY?
It's good to step outside the world of contours every once in awhile. There's a lot of other cars out there
MKIV Golfs/Jetta's handle like ••••. Solid rear axle+FWD+open diff=terrible handling.

From experience, a well-maintained low-mile 2.5L SVT will handle a VR6 Jetta on the highway

No way, I like this forum. But if you don't lay the hammer down on stupid threads like this, it'll turn into Honda Tech. That's what I'm here for. try it, it's fun, I know you know your stuff.

Ever driven a corrado?
Besides, the OP never said anything about modded suspension or trans. I'm figuring on stock SVT suspension and an open diff.

Thank you. don't get me wrong, I LOVE my SVT. But it's just as important to undestand it's shortcomings as it's attributes. Unfortunately, raw power isn't one of them (your's is an exception, lol
)true, but then they lose their entertainment value.

I was actually aiming more towards Brogan, not you. Just answering his question in a dumb way.
