Decisions, decisions.

Love my MK6 R, but now some juicy mods are out for the Mk7 R ( which initially for around £3.5k of mods would get me over 400bhp) I am wondering if it is time to sell.

I have 3 choices.....

1) Keep the MK6 and spend another £XXXX's? on getting her to the next level.

or.........

2) Sell her as she stands at 490+ bhp in road trim and buy a MK7 R

or........

3) Chop her back to stock, sell the parts and buy a MK7 R.

Is it enough of an upgrade to be worth the effort?

Hi Dan, do you mean upgrade the MK6 or upgrade to a MK7?

The MK6 upgrade would take me to 600+bhp, but cost probably almost 5 figures to get there as it would need an engine and transmission build plus a larger blower.

The MK7 upgrade would get me a new car and over 400bhp and would probably cost around the same after selling my MK6.

Another alternative would be to lease a MK7 for 2 years and keep it at 300bhp, which would cost less than just the upgrades for the MK6!! :rolleye:

Depends what your end goal is.

If it's to have a nice car that has 400bhp and not bothered about breaking records then mk7 no brainer.

For everything else.... Keep the mk6.

What's wrong with just running the mk6 as is?

Didn't realize that was a bit ambiguous, I meant to go for the 7R, the 6 is what 5 years old? So not exactly an old car and would be a shame to see such a weapon dismantled. The 7R wouldn't have many benefits over the 6 and personally I would Much rather have a 600+HP golf that could beat supercars.

If I had your car + cash you're looking at spending the only swap that would make sense to me is sell yours and buy a MK5 R32 and strap 2 turbos on it, then you can have a somewhat more reliable 600+ bhp.

A reliable 600+bhp R32 with DSG would cost more than a 600+bhp MK6 R.

I know what is involved as I work for a HPA dealer.  :wink:
