I'm not really worried about being the fastest person in the world so I like what I've got. I just wanted to know just how slow I am.

now THAT was slow... my 2.0 Jetta is a rocket in comparison http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
VR is fast, but heavy as all hell... if you prefer the twisty bits to raw speed stick with you 2.0 and toss a turbo in!

Yup my roomie has a '91 TD Jetta, we raced a bit when I still had my Golf, he trounced me! Must have been funny to watch the two little diesels battle it out

LOL!!!
Yes, my VR envy is getting bad. But what I really want is a 1.8T swap. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
As for the ad, I don't know what they look like in hte U.S. but up here in Canada, they're really starting a new trend and it works. They're selling more and more cars and if I'm not mistaken, they had the highest sale increase this year. Just so you know, Ford went down 4%!

I posted the stock 2.0 numbers in the 2.0 forum awhile back, try doing a search.
FWIW, according to C&D a 2.0 will 'tow itself' to 60 mph in a Mk3 in about 9.2 secs stock with about a 17 sec. quarter mile. By way of comparison most MINIVANS are comparable in terms of acceleration and 1/4 mile times
![]()
Most people I've talked to say that with a K&N drop in, chip and exhaust your in the mid 16's quarter mile or ABOUT 8.5 secs 0-60.
Regardless of what it ACTUALLY is, with some mods a 2.0 can be a lot of fun to drive, and I don't care what anybody says, I still love the car and really enjoy driving it...which is all that should matter to anyone!

I've driven a 2.slo jetta back in like 99 and it was OK. When I was searching for a car after my Ghetta this year, I was psyched to find a 95 GTI 2.0 for sale near me with exhaust, intake, etc. Probably the most depressing test drive ever.
Then I found my VR. I saw it, and it was like sex. I drove it, and it was like a menege et trois.
Sell your 2.0, or swap a 2.0 DOHC 16V & tranny in.

That has to be the funniest and most true thing I've seen on here in awhile.
