I can do all of those at once.  Some people said it wasnt possible, but I can even burp, fart and sneeze (whilst keeping my eyes open) all at the same time.  Im obviously gifted.

hey blame the driver thats all i can say! lol, ive got a 8v mk2 and a 20v mk4 both about the same but the 8vs got more of a bottom end rush and the 20v hangs on to its gears longer cause its got higher revving engine, had to say which would be best, i drive em both hard and will race any thing, its more a case of my bollocks are bigger than yours situation!

Here's a scan of the VW 'Specification and equipment 1990 model year' (issue January 1990) which shows the performance figures for both the 8v and 16v GTi's:

Performance:                        GTi              GTi 16V
-------------------------------------------------------------
Top Speed, mph/Kph              119/191       129/208
Acceleration, secs 0-50 mph     6.5              6.0
Acceleration, secs 0-60 mph     8.3              7.9
