We are NOT going down this road again, live and let live (and 8v's live longer).

cos they are the first to get engine conversions thus pampered more

16v is better than 8v, FACT

More power, more response, better efficiency and revs higher.

trust me 20v is the best

on a serious tip, iv had em all

8 and 16 harldy owt in it. 16v revs longer but feels slower off the mark.. well the green one did i got compaired to my old 8v lump. that said the Head gasket went on the Green valver

if i was to do it all over again, id go for a 16v car as the base to start a project on, its easier to upgrade the engine to something better on these as they have the all important gearbox, and other parts which will be needed

so in a nutshell, id have to say out of 8v or 16v - 16v wins

but my old 8v never let me down and was pretty nippy
