0-60 in 9

[Alexg40]

When my G40 went to Bruntingthorpe my max speed on the day according to the speedo was 130 mph and the GPS timing gear showed 125.9 mph.  Not too far out really.  

Bit crap for me though I had the speedo showing 138 on the way home!!!  Bloody fickle superchargers.

8v is much more economical and what i really like, that it has power right from the begining (low revs), although 16v should be faster in 0-60. Is 16v really faster in 0-60?

Is 16v really faster in 0-60?

Yes

simply because an 8v can't do 60 in 2nd with a std gearbox

Yes

simply because an 8v can't do 60 in 2nd with a std gearbox

and because it has less power.....

[Slim Shady]

so if you changed the cogs around in an 8v gearbox, you saying the car still wouldn't be able to do 60?

[boogeysheftel]

has anybody tried 8v vs 16v in reality, not just guessing?

[ducatimad]

Do you not remember the top gear episode when they did a back to back run with 8v versus 16v and the 8 valve won!

My 8v is slow i get pissed on by a new renult megan 4 door in the mornings. PISSES ME OFF BIG! But i do get away the quickest.

8v is about as fast as a pig on dope
