The other weekend on the way to Bournemouth in the VXR I had a Mk2 Golf up my anus, so came to a dual carriageway off a roundabout and booted it, he was beside me up to about 110mph and the cars were equal and I could hear VR6 power in this Mk2

Then we slowed down for traffic, it had a VR6 badge on the back as well, must have been converted. Was good. If we had kept going I would have edged in front.

I beat an N reg 1.8 vectra with twin bean can exhausts on it the otherday, looked at me with his shades on an grinned, so we both booted it, he did a little wheelspin

I think he was in reverse though, poor fellow

Every traffic on red...
is a signal for me... to get ready.. plant the throttle.. shift through the gears.. and defeat the car next to me...

I live my life an green light at a time! in those few hundred yards.. i feel i'm drag-racing?

therefore your VXR is on par with most hot hatches the VXR is up agianst if you cannot pull away from a VR6

VR6 - 170-190bhp. 170lb ft odd.....
VXR - 237bhp - 230ft lb....

Simple maths....

Unless the VR6 is running some kind of throttle bodies conversion (VERY rare in the UK), or a supercharger (which you would hear), theres not a great deal you can do to get a lot more power.

Bit like the Vauxhall V6 engines, few bits and bobs to increase power, but never gonna get much.

Mk2's are very light though so power to weight is gonna be between 195-215bhp per ton for both imo
