Motoring Forum / New Merc M-Cla**
« on: April 13, 2005, 10:01:09 AM »Many people rated the Golf VR6 as a bechmark in this cla**. The 200ts proved them wrong. The VR6's only virtue is the longer model lifecycle.
At all speed events these cars prove to be extremely fast. It has enormous power of about 160kw and with a little modification speeds up to 250 km/h is possible. Incidentally the standard car easily sees off the M3 over the quatermile. (and they said BM'z be the shit). 0 - 100 in about 7.62 secs.
The 200ts gearbox is sometimes prone to a 6th gear breakage when constantly driven hard. I've seen and iS clock 156000 before rebores.
Worst stop from 100 km/h i think is about 3.2 secs.
Adam Opel AG engineers know about street monsters.
I'll get back to you on a modded Opel.
