tinman, is your 16valver standerd? have you only been racing standerd 8valves?

totally standard buddy. i'd like to think the nuts in the 8vs had standard cars - if they didn't they'd be even more gutted  :'(

zoid - stop using the word subjective - its not subjective. please please please look up the word in a dictionary. its not the fact that you fail to understand that the 16v is quicker - its the fact you keep using the wrong word!!

subjective does not mean "in your opinion".

you are using a word that means "Existing only in the mind; illusory." The difference in performance is not in your mind - its a very real difference!!

I think veedubgti8v should scan in his owners manual.
There is no way the 8v does 0-60 in 8.3 secs, more like 9.5 secs.
The 16v will do it in under 8.
Now that is quite a difference  ;D
We won't even mention the mk3 8v  :D

The OFFICIAL vw figures state

8v     0-62  10.0 secs
16v   0-62  8.5 secs

This proves the 16v is SUBSTANTIALY QUICKER than the 8v. Even if you chop some time off as vw figures are always moderate, the the 16v is 1.5 sec quicker than the 8v.
Over 60mph the 16v will pull away even more.
I THINK THAT PUTS AN END TO THE ARGUMENT.

Many thanks to veedubgti8v for the use of his owners manual  ;)

personally i think the 8v is a bit quicker than that, but the 16v does have a superior engine, anyway lets stop b!tching and just focus on one thing vw golf!

Yeah i agree, the 8v will be quicker than 10 sec , probably more like 9.
But to say it does in just over 8 sec is stretching it a bit  :D
Anyway Veedub, your car is mint  ;D
