i heard the 8V has more Torque aswell (at lower revs obviously)

Slight off topic - i am going to get the headlight conversion:

I saw the lights below on ebay - Nice hey?

Apparently it's a myth but you can still give a 16v a run for its money in an 8v up to about 70mph theres not a great deal of difference im sure one of the my cars better than your car people will have something to say about that though .. :laugh: :laugh: :tongue:

Mines an 8v Btw... :evil: :grin:

When you get fed up of the 8 vs 16 valve bickering, compromise and get 12 valves. :grin:
