My bro asked me what power they were and how heavy but for the life of me I can't remember

Anybody know?

 

not enough

and

too much

 

the golfs are a 2.8 and i believe the have about 174bhp, dont know how heavy they are, but as said above... too heavy lol!

Corrado VR6 is a 2.9 though, slightly better torque if i remember right!

 

I think the normal ones are about 170 bhp and the highlines are a bit more. DONT quote me on that though.........

 

174 for the 2.8, allegedly 185 for the Highlines and Corrados, but the Highlines generally seem to make a bit less than the 2.9.

Corrado has slightly different management, coilpacks, 2.9, and a larger throttle body, if memory serves Highline just gets the management.

 

Quite powerfull but handles like a boat anchor........

 

174 for 2.8 and 190 ish for 2.9. I could be wrong, but my mates into veedubs, so im regularly exposed to these damaging bits of info.

 

Normal corrado's are 2.8 only the storm is 2.9 aparently (me mate has a storm 190 standard)

 

Cheers

Bit more welly there than I thought as I guessed about the 150-160bhp mark.

 

its piss poor power for a 2.8 engine though. probably designed by an American

 

Volkswagen Golf VR6 96

174bhp
1180kg
149.82bhp/tonne

 

sound nice though!

 

I think you'll find they're all 2.9's mate, the Storm was the last model, badges and nice wheels.

 

They're okay. I like mine... sometimes.

0-60 in about 7s, and it'll take so much abuse without problems. *touch wood* lol... fuel consumption is utterly pathetic for the power though. 19mpg around town, can dip to 16.

 

You could well be right just going by what he told me not a great VW luver meself

 

2.8 in the golf's and 174 bhp
2.9 in the corrado's 190 bhp
And the highline has no extra power in either model, just different wheels and colour coded leather.

My older brother own a really nice 2.8 Golf VR6. I personally think they are really nice motors for everyday driving and produce ooodles of low down torque making them really effortless to drive. Handling isn't too bad as long as you don't go crazy lol. They are a totally different car to RS Turbos and cosworths etc. They are comfortable, quiet, practical and effortless to drive. The engine in standard for isn't really designed for all out performance but can be with the right mods and then its an animal.

 

I love upsetting some VR6 owners in my little fez... is funny looking at their smile vanishing away from the lights lol

 

Reason I posted the question was somebody my bro works with reckons they are 220bhp in standard trim. I knew this was BS but wanted to advise my bro of proper figures and not just a guestimate.

I'm seriously considering the VR6 motor for my A4 when I can kill the engine that's in it at the mo

 

that's what i thought mate, very nice cars. so well built. mate of mine has a highline and it pulls like a train, is soooo comfy with the front heated seats going and handles really well, hes got uprated shocks and springs, lowered 60mm.

 

I'm just going off what I've seen results from. The Highlines seem to make more power as a group, which makes me trust a bit in the claim that the differerent mangement does have an effect.
