Don't get me wrong, the 16v is a very good car.
But it just doesn't feel like a vr

Thankfully...
On a 16v, when you turn the stering wheel, you have a 75% chance of the nose following directly. About twice what the VR6 offers.

I think we have had this talk many times, VR's can be made to handle, ok not as well as a 8 or 16V I know.

I agree with bb if you do motorway driving and don't mind spending time at motorway service stations.  get the vr, but if you prefer A roads then go for the 16v.

I decided against continually throwing my money at the mk3.
Instead i bought a V8 for 3 grand, which has 104bhp more than your 16v, and cost about half as much

Very good...
On a B road, we'll measure the time between me arriving and you arriving using a sundial.

Unless the V8 of which you speak is a RS4...which at 3 grand, I doubt!


On a serious note, throwing money at a Mk3 will only give you an empty bank account.
You can buy a faster, better handling car for way less than you'll spend trying to sort out the Mk3. Mine is a hobby...because it's cheaper than tuning Porsches or new VWs!

I thought it was obvious what car i had by my username 
Granted the standard suspension on the A8 is crap, but sport models are surprising good.
The car handles alot better than most people think, you would have to try one to appreciate it.
That is the reason i bought the A8, its got all the luxuries, handles as good as alot of hot hatches, it also very hardly to lose grip having 4 wheel drive. Its also got a fantastic engine that kicks out 295lb ft of torque at 3200rpm, and 300bhp at about 5500rpm.
All for 3 grand, its hard to argue against it

Is it the aluminium bodied one?
4.2 V8?

I like them...oddly cool really.

[AudiA8Quattro]

Yep. Aluminium space frame.
Its the 4.2 ABZ lump.
Annoyingly, like with all cars, now i'm used it, i wonder if i should of bought an S8 instead 
You should like it, its basically 2 ABF's stuck together
