16v is better than 8v, FACT

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

trust me 20v is the best :evil:

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

^ That's called clocking and it's illegal.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
