« on: 20 August 2004, 20:17 »
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  ;)
