i dont normally reply to threads where people reply to what i say but when i do, its for a really good reason.
first of all, i know i posted a picture of a swapped mk2 hatch. you know why, because they are sick. you wanna know why else, because boosted vr's in cars that way a little of 2000 lbs are scary as fuck. don't say anything about a boosted car until you drive one. and by the way, the vr6 came around in the corrado first, well before the mk3 hit the market here. and it was in the b3 passats before that too.
secondly, mk5 and mk6 golfs and jettas are ugly. same with the gti. They look like hondas. with all the electronics attached it literally seperates you from the driving experience, so everything you say about their speed and handling is attributed to electronics that reduce your shitty driving mistakes and compensate for the vagina between your legs.. you are also telling me that a tiny 2 liter engine with a busted ass K04 sized turbo is a "beast"? and that automatic transmissions are "awesome"?? it's almost ridiculous to argue you with you at this point since i can already tell you've never worked on an engine in your life.
The vr6 engine is the cornerstone of engineering. 177 hp motors that weigh something close to 400 pounds, that you can cram in a car as big as a old rabbit are awesome! and what bull shit are you talking about boost? did you buddy throw a turbonetics kit on his slammed mk3 and blow it up. wanna know why? well first up his dumbass probably never even bothered to upgrade the essential parts of an engine to accomodate mild levels of boost. and he probably scraped his oil pan and threw a rod bearing. or he probably never even put a head spacer in to adjust compression that a boosted car is more suited to. As far as "modifying" the engine block? are you talking about boring them out? i've seen OBD 2 vr6's bored to 3.2 successfully and run successfully. but why do anything to that block besides always check the oil anyway? after doing the timing chain, replacing the guides, and doing basic head maintenance the engine is good for the rest of it's life.
no one says mk3's are the worst generation of all time. it was a transitionary period for volkswagen into the modern market, and the kinks in their electronics are easily repaired with a Bentley manual and a little patience. as far as simplicity goes, have you ever bothered to look at a wiring harness for your precious 2.0t fsi engines? a tad complicated in my opinion. you can break a vr6 down into 3 basic chains, and wire from there. and rust is only an issue for people who don't maintain their cars. it's unfortunate we let retards drive, but it happens, and there is no way to stop it.
lastly, the mk4 r32 was the coolest thing ever. yes it was overpriced, and still sells used WAY overpriced, but that's because a majority of the remaining R's are in the same condition they were bought in, meticulously maintained by enthusiasts who knew the power that a 24 valve 3.2 liter vr6 made when boosted, and the advantages of owning an AWD weapon with the same wheelbase as the legendary Audi coupe quattro.
at the end of all this, i'm not really sure why i typed all this. i guess i don't understand why people want to suck VW's dick because they put plaid seats in a car, or the headlights look like the ugly child of an asian, but with a little education, maybe you will realize that if you know what you're talking about before you talk, and don't end your reply with "kill yourself", people might take you seriously when you talk about things you actually now about.
i still just can't believe you said automatic transmissions are "awesome". haha smh
