Hello guys! I drive a Golf 3 VR6 in original condition (almost, it is 40 mm lower, but already from factory). Actually I was always very happy with the car, but yesterday I am a little offended…… Gester I was on the A4 (Austria) towards Vienna and was for a while with an E46 convertible at the same height. When I was then forced to change into the left lane I was at the rear of the E46. Externally it was an E46 convertible in original condition. (orig. Fel The cabrio had a standard 2 pipe BMW exhaust, so (IMHO) a 320er up….. The cabrio started to speed up and I thought to see how I can keep up…. from 110 km/h to 160 km/h (with me 3rd gear, 5900 u/min) I was still at the same distance behind the E46. from 160/km/h to about 200 km/h (4th gear with me) the convertible started to gain noticeably on the ground. from about 200 km. /h to 230 km/h (5th gear, according to my speedometer with 205/50/15 tyres on 7*15 rims) the convertible had worked out a considerable advantage (min. 3 car lengths). Since my golf is at 230 km/h end, I can’t tell where the convertible has accelerated. However, the fact is that the convertible from 230 km/h was still able to do a lot…. For the sake of fairness I have to say that I was sitting alone in the car, and in the convertible there were 3 people with an open deck. ………. So, I just wanted to get rid of that…… Greetings from Vienna, Rainer PS: And the morals of history’: You can’t escape an E46 so easily
