Re: mk3 vr6 12v vs mk4 vr6 12v which vr6 better performance? (Ryan Sickles) i had trouble getting away from him in my Mk3 till the end of 2nd gear even though I had 268's and a schrick manifold, a supersprint header, pulleys, a flywheel, chip, exhaust, cold air in the fender, 3.65 corrado trans, thin headgasket It still had that mountan of power down low yet even more so because of the flywheel and underdrive pulleys. In the end my brothers car ended up with a eurosport intake, a flywheel, giac chip, an autotech exhaust and unorthodox pulleys and it made 181 to the wheels if I remember right, it was like 4 years ago. The Mk4 makes up ground really quickly with mods. But still, stock to stock once you're out of 1st it's aparent the Mk3 is the quicker of the 2. The Mk4 has much taller overall gearing because of this. Nobody ever thinks about the huge difference in roll out between the two cars. The Mk4 did a good job making up for the difference in weight with all the low to middle rpm power that the Mk3 is lacking. The big difference between the two cars was the amount of powerband and where it came in. We were impressed with how fast the Mk4 was. Then I will get this one over the Hydro.Re: mk3 vr6 12v vs mk4 vr6 12v which vr6 better performance? (animaniac)īack in 2000 when the Mk4 VR's came out my brother bought one when I had my MK3 VR. Then say to myself I will get used it since Im not really looking at it. So I know this one would be the perfect weight. That's almost as heavy as the 1.6lb one I had. Plus all I would need to get is the knob since I would already have all the other parts.Ĥ) The Slammer: I love that it weights 1.4lbs. I can always get this one later if I feel that I would like more weight. Maybe that added weight and a short shifter will actually feel really good. But Im not sure whether that is getting on the heavy side. So I can go either way.ģ) The Rondure: I kind of like that it weights 1.8lbs. I got used to having a shorter knob on my BMW's. Then this one may not for you if you like resting you arm on the shift knob while its on the arm rest. But if you like the height of the stock knob and how your arm feels when resting on the arm rest. It reminds me of the UUC knob I had on my BMW's. Its shorter than the Hydro but looks pretty good in my opinion. Although I wish it weighed more than 1.1lbs. Along with the pea pod mod which made the clutch pedal push shorter going forward and back to engage the clutch.Ģ) The Contour: I like the shape of this knob. It was also wrapped in perforated leather. My UUC knob that I had on my 4 of my BMW's weighed 1.6lbs. But thats still better than what the stock one weights. If Im not mistaken its the same height as the stock one. If these fit then I will most likely go with one of the 4 I wrote about in the first paragraph:ġ) The Hydro: I like the shape of this knob. 90lbs and comes to $280 depending what options you choose. Again not sure if its worth $260 for something that only weights. It comes to around $260 depending what options you choose. If it weighed at least 1.2lbs then maybe Id think about it. Unless you really like the Alecantra or other materials used to wrap it. Im not sure if its worth the money for something that only weights. And if you choose the Alecantra with red stitching the cost jumps to $375. The Stratose comes to $325 if you get it with the perforated leather. But after choosing all the option if you want. I love the perforated leather that you can choose. The Stratose is the most expensive and weights. I really like the looks of the Stratose, Nitro and Chicane. The same height as the Slammer and comes to $220 depending on what options you choose. Raceseng Rondure And the last one over 1lb is the Contour. Looks like its 3 1/2 inches tall like the hydro. It weighs 1.8lbs and costs $230 with all the add ons. Raceseng Slammer Another cool looking one is called the Rondure. Then there is the slammer which weighs 1.4lbs and comes to $225 if you add all the other parts to it. But Im going to send them an email as well as call them tomorrow to find out. It showed that the collar and adapter were for 1998 and up Golfs. Raceseng Hydro When I looked and clicked on the 'Find your collar' button and the 'Find your adapter' button.

Weighs 1.2lbs and comes to $230 with all the add ons. I like it in the black texture with a red collar.
