Well, I have owned MK1s and MK2s, no 3s yet. 2k may be a bit of a stretch for a vr6.
Around here you can find early vr6 Jettas for ~2k. Some end up being low(er) mileage one or two owner cars too.:beer:
 
I'll chime in with my B-body knowledge here.

An Impala SS or 9c1 or B4U Caprice WILL run a 15.1 stock. You can pick up a decent white/blue interior 9c1 for about 1500. Do a first base delete, TB bypass and invest the rest in a tune and catback. That should get you 14.5-14.7 in the 1/4. I have seen these run sub 14's with just a T/C, Eaton posi with 3.73's, tune and an intake.

Not bad autocrossers either:beer:

And for those wondering what "first base delete" is, here you go. Home plate sits on top and isn't restrictive unlike his counterpart

Always chime in with fanboy options.

Volvo 850 turbos do 15.2 stock. Add a chip, and check your vacuum lines, 14.8. If you want to go faster than 14, though... the tires are too skinny for front wheel to get any traction.

You can find a whole slew of 850 turbos for 2 stacks, and get the best example.
But they creep up into the 16s when your PCV gets clogged... over and over :laugh:
