Hi
I have always driven VW's normaly mk2 or mainly mk4's and recently skoda vrs.
Could any one tell me the pro's & cons between 8v & 16v mk3's in particular is the 16v alot quicker?

Please lock me now before the old argument ensues
8Vs are the best dont belive all the small thingy 16v owners VR's are the slowest of all :evil:

Basically.........
NO, THEY ARE BOTH sh!t

The 8v isnt only the 16v is sh!t It's to do with torque :laugh:
-
8V is slower then it should be
16V is meh.
VR6 heavy on fuel.
Go for the fecking 16V and ignore all the bullsh!t about 8v's keeping up or being faster, it's all f**king sh!te, the MK3 is a big heavy boat and no 8V engine is going to tug it, it's like a fish trying to drag a whale along.

Someone wishes he bought a Vr6. LOL.

i found 8v better at pick up and 16v better for top end - have driven them both
-
Thers not much difference between an 8v with a bit of head work and a decent cam and a standard 16v :grin: :laugh: :grin: :laugh: :grin: :laugh: :grin: :laugh: :embarassed:
-
8v for fuel economy and cheap insurance (who wants that from a GTI?)
16v for a bit of go
VR6 for noise and grunt but you'll need deep pockets for the thirst.

:rolleyes:
The torque is imaginary and coming from an 8V owner's head, in his anus.
Yes Mikester, you do. :grin:
-
what about official stats?
-
i actually have a 16v - only drove an 8 v for a day and thats what i found. sure other drivers may have had different experiances but thats what i found
-

[/quote
8v approx 115bhp
16v approx 150bhp
-
From the vids on youtube of 8v's vs 16v's, there's hardly anything in it.

ha ha i hav joined this for the first time as read this type of thread hmmm once or twice b4.
drove my m8s 16v last weekend too see diff for myself(his not lowered)
yeah there a diff it it prob beat my 8v and felt alot more alive top end but long enough road or lack of brains and mine wld hav it round corners(lowered) and in sight all day and yes std vs std it would beat mine but like suggested in previous reply i don't want the gti 8v for fuel and insurance ha ha of course i do that why it is wot it is, as i love the mk3 it great for both motor ways and b blasts(well very bendy blasts).
yes i a speed freak hence 2 wheeled gsxr 750 for slaying every motherf****ing else on the raod ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha mk3 8v lover for ever

Mk3's are definetly sh!t anyway.
Anyone trying to keep up with a good car in their mk3's around the bends will know.

These threads are pointless as people will rave about the 16v which has crap torque to be honest.

I dont hate mk3's.
But i dont have my mk3 for it being a speed machine. I like the way they look, and how mine sits and rolls.
And yes over this winter it will become pretty quick in a straight line.
But they still are the worst golf gti. But i love mine :)

Better cut down the food fund even more to fund a blower.

I reckon it'll be pretty close unless you do fit a blower in which case I'll get a nice view of your boot.
