I have a 1990 16V on 15s, with a drilled box and a full stainless Scorpion system.? My m8 has a 1989 8v on 14s, with an induction kit and a full magnex stainless.? Just want to know which you guys think would win in a flat out 0-60 race? and from 60-120mph?? ?::) ;D

8v probs quicker off the line but the 16v will nail it on top end.
just go and race him and let us know before this turns into a big ''hoo haar'' again ;) :P

sorry geezer but that just aint true.....
i fought on the 8 valves side for a long time, but now know after driving my 16v, the 16v would beat the 8v in all aspects of speed tests i.e 0-60 and 60-120 ;)
60-120 would be a sorry ass joke :D
-
the 16v will win. end of story.
there won't be much difference to 60, but after that forget it. the 16v will leave it for dead.
-
Have to agree with everyone else.
I've got a 8V and it's OK to 60 but the last 90 - 120 takes a day & half ;)
Still love it though
-
Try driving a 1.3, you have to give yourself a weeks notice if you want to go over 70!! ;)
-
Used to have a 1.3 Mk1, felt like you were doing 120 when the needle read 60. Foor gears and all of them slow :D
Never got a speeding ticket though ;)

;D

16v would easily win the 0-60 and the 60-120 would be the nightmare come true for the 8v.
-
i still cant understand why people still think, like for like, that an 8v will beat a 16v
a 16v has more power & is better geared for sprinting than an 8v, end of story!!
the only way an 8v will beat a 16v is how good the driver is.
-
& if the 16v is in reverse ;D
-
....16v, what 16v? When you 16v boys coming flying past I won't even notice, coz I'll be too busy looking good 8)
And Dizzie a 16v will beat an 8v no question, but it won't leave it for dead, no way, you would need something like a 20vt to do that ;)

Yeah, mine tops out at around 95-100mph! But it shakes all over the place and sounds like its gonna crumble beneath me when I rag it, sooo, i try not to! Plus the unfortunate driver who sits behind me gets a face full of smake and dust ;D
Love it when i dump the clutch and there a convertaable sitting behind me with the roof down
