MK2 Performance?

[druid]

An 8v should pull away quicker but once the 16v gets those revs spinning it should then make up the difference and then some.


The 8 v has a lower ratio


What is the 0-60 time like on a G60?

G60 is is suppose to be around 7.0 to 7.5 somewhere there, old parkers guide says rallye 6.6, but its the same story as the 16v and 8v wild exagarations and so called official times that are way off.

8v 89 digifant from a g-tech in 3 runs i did 9.5, 8.0 and 8.7 goner try again when i go pick the missus up hopefully its dryer out and i wont spin so much but not to say 8.0 isnt a fluke but think i need to average it out with a few more runs

thge rallyes are awful standard, i dunno where vw got their figure from, but they have only got 20bhp more than a 16v and weigh an extra 1/2 tonne

with a g tech i can constantly get 7.5's my best is 7.34

whats a gtech? is it one of those things that calculate your bhp by inertia? and the thing that does your 0-60 and g force round corners etc??? if that is what i think it is, how reliable are their readings?

+/- 0.2mph is f**k all, basically the closest accuracy before you strap professional equipment to the outside of your car. also the best toy you can buy for your car under ?50

dont kid yourself, 8v is dead from the start.

[bolland]

I never understood the 8v v 16v argument.
Both have 1781cc, but obviously the 16v has more valve area, so better breather = faster car.
In effect if the valve area was drastically increased on an 8v engine, the difference between the two engines would disappear.
