How would you do that?

With a VR6.


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.

i heard the 8V has more Torque aswell (at lower revs obviously)


no two words are missing. the 8v has more OF ITS torque low down ;)

then it goes out the window LMFAO

generally speaking.. both cars are fine around town...
the 16v is better on the open road
