which one is faster stock: 03' gti vr6 or 1.8t?

[keibron]

hy, I am new and I am planning to buy one of this two cars. I know the 1.8t is easier to mod, but i want to know which one is faster stock.

VR6 is faster stock. There is no argument there, that's how it is. Period. (in case random people try to say different)

just think, these are specs for 5spd 1.8t, wonder what my AE gti could beat a vr6 by?

[tylerrules84]

one's a 5 speed, one's a 6 speed. There is obviously extra upshift in the 0 to 60 of the Vr6, hence the slower 0 to 60. It's a good thing that numbers don't tell the whole story, or I'd feel stupid. Buuuuuut... I don't.

Good thing I got an AE gti with a 1.8t and a 6spd or I might feel stupid, buuuuuuut... I don't.

V dub love nonetheless.
