Help Settle a argument

[klmillard]

Can any1 settle an argument.

What group insurance is a mk3 Golf VR6 2.8litre.

My mate is about to buy one but he thinks they are group 14 but i am convinced they are higher than that.

Can any one settle this dispute?

 

[matt_arundale]

18 i believe but i will go have a check now

 

[klmillard]

Thats what i said i thought it was.

Considering a xr2i is 13 then I cant see a Golf 2.8 16v VR6 would be 14

 

[matt_arundale]

cant find the page thou now that was gonna tell me, sorry

Mate - itll be a 12v if its a regular VR6 and a 24v if its Highline special edition, owing to the 6 cylinders.

Whats sort of performance do they have: I reckon about 7s 0-60 and 145 top end.

Any1 know.

I am going to be gutted if he gets it as I am used to pissing on him as he used to have a VTR but now I wont have a chance.

 

[Tom]

Vr6s are still slow considering the amout of power they have mate

big top end though bout 140mph

 

[klmillard]

what about 0-60?

Is mine capable of keeping up if I have some mods done like cams, chip, de cat etc or is it way out my league.

 

[Tom]

no its not way out of your league at all 0-60 in 7.1secs

i considered one and was told it was group 17, and i think theyre all 12 valvers the vr6s, and theyre quicker than some figures suggest, would see off a valver in a straight line no probs, not quite as good on the twisties tho

theyre about 19 secs 0-100 time, and they get quicker with age...thrsty though

 

[Tom]

Eh? you ever driven one great noise but not what i would call "quick"

ive driven several they are all the same (Except one but that was modded)

 

[matt_arundale]

yeh i dont think they do a 24v version, atleast the people on club gti dont think they do

 

[Tom]

There is a 24v vr6 but not in that car

it is a "v6" but i only has one head

 

[Pugboy]

tom,

so would you call a valver quick?
