    Default just joined the VR6 army....

    traded my GTI in on a nice black 03 GLI 24v VR6 6speed.

    I am confused. Good for you. Glad to see you are staying in the vw family, but it seems real strange because you had a really nicely modded GTI already. Why not just do a turbo upgrade?

    Because VR6's are teh shetz

    Besides it's funner, sounds better, more torque, etc...

    How about gt2871 ftw?

    I will probably never own a VR6 though, because 20th AE's only come in 1.8T and that's the only other dub I want right now.

    gt2871 or gt35r on a VR6 FTW

    And you'll spend pretty close to the same amount $$

    If I were to get a new car it would probably be a Black MKIV VR6...great choice. Did you keep any of your mods from the old MKIV? Wheels and stuff?

    ok, first, i traded the GTi becuase it was having some slight engine reliability issues (damn coilpacks) and was at 72k. i basically popped my head into the dealer to see if i could get something newer with a warrenty and keep my same payments, through the sheer will of God, it happened. i LOVE the VR jetta, so sessy! funny thing is, my dad went up there today and bought a black 05 GLI 1.8t 6speed, lol

    i only kept my custom stubby antenna and Misfits air freshener. the suspension was for 1.8t GTi only, and the wheels wouldnt look right on the jetta. in time im sure ill have the jetta on the same level or better than the GTI.... after all, im making more money this year

    if you like my old car, its up at gosset

    I miss my GLI a lil, nice cars, but I am w/ you. If I did another MKIV chassis, VR6 12 or 24v... juice it til you can boost it. Nothing VW makes sounds as sexy as a VR.
