GTI vr-6 vs teg GS-R

as far as reliability and overall driving fun are concerned, assume here that the cars are manual and would be kept stock for a good while

Re: GTI vr-6 vs teg GS-R

Hmm...tough choice...but I'd have to opt for stock wise the VR6...gotta have torque!

Re: GTI vr-6 vs teg GS-R

Since you mentioned reliability, the GS-R is the obvious choice.

We all know that the b18c1 is a great engine but so is the vr6.

So as I said in another tread: Do you have any verifiable information confirm the fact that the b18c1 is more reliable than the vr6?

I think the styling of the GSR looks better and honda is known for its reliability. I don't know enough about the vr-6 to say much, but my friend has a 96 gsr and it broke into 14s with just basic bolt ons and has never had any problems. also it has great gas milage.

Re: GTI vr-6 vs teg GS-R

Both are really close in performance, high 6s 0-60 mph, low 15s.
If you were to modify it, the 2.8 liter would be easier to extract more power off. I like the teg styling better though.
