Re: [non-Scirocco] VR6 & VW [VR6 Dead]



Remember that our VR6 is not multivalve like the BMW 2.8i.  For a 12V
motor, 172 hp from a 2.8 is respectable.  Look at GM's 3.1 with only
155hp.  Hehe..now THAT is feeble.  Don't you live in Europe?  Haven't
you heard the VR6 in Europe is now a 24V 2.8 putting out 204 hp?  The
BMW 2.8 puts out 193 hp.  The VR6 is not dead...

> 192HP (!).

The Corrado VR6 puts out 178 hp on our side of the pond.  The Euro 2.9
VR6 is rated at 190 hp.  FYI.
