1997 VW gti questions?
hey just wondering what kind of 1/4 mile times this car would run?
If the car is a VR-6 or just the 2.0 just wondering what kinda of times it would run?
2 or 4 doors would that make a difference?
What kinda of upgrades would be great for my 1/4 times?
What do these car valve at?
I'm looking at the 1997 VW gti i don't know if it's a VR-6 or just the 2.0L or if it's two or four door

stock vr6's run low 15's on average. aftermarket support is growing rapidly. to have a vr6 in 97 it would have to be a jetta or a gti (2 doors). good luck if you pick the car up.

k first things first like mentions a stock vr will runs 15's and a stock 2L will probably run 17s probably low 17s now on to my thoughts if u are interested in 1/4 times a dub isnt the car for you!! before any numb nut says anything yes a vw can be made fast buttttttt for lots of money! and i mean fast 120+ trap speeds
these cars are meant to be all around cars style,handling,last forever(mine has 145k and its a 97), and just enough power to bring a smile to your face! but find out some more info on the car

I agree with that guy!!!!! I have a 96 GTI with 100,022 miles on it and the thing is a workhorse. It also looks good, handles great and can keep up with the rest of traffic. But if you are looking for a drag/daily driver I would not go VW. Mods cost out the ass...

If you get a VW, do yourself a favor and get a VR. Great daily driver with plenty of potential down the road. Plus it sounds better than any jap car that I have ever heard.
