I havent payed for it yet havin it of my grandad hes had it from new with only 40k on and always garaged. Hes a bit of a speed holic for an old man n sed it got to 120 once on so it aint slow n dont feel slow. Am i right that these are 16v because someone sed to me that it maybe 8v like some of the gtis? cheers
