The VR6 normally isn't the ones to worry about, the 1.8T is the ones that are normally faster, not to say that there are no VR6s, but the 1.8T is faster when chipped.
The 1.8T GTi runs 15.3 from the factroy and chipped one ( APR ) prob. runs in the 14's...

The only experience I've got is with a MkIII VR6 Gti on the road race course. I actually caught up to him and passed him in my N/A STD civic, w/ MPFI swap, I/H/E and such, but seriously, I've got max 100hp with all I've done, and I passed the ******. vr6s are sweet, but really not all that fast. To be beat'n in a turbo civic, something had to be done to the vr6, or you have some driving skills to work on.
