another question wots wiv the clocks!!! ive seen mk2 gti 16v which has 160mph and 8,000rpm, then ive seen 2 8valvers gti 1 has 120mph and 7,000rpm and the other 8valver 140mph wiv 7,000rpm, Wots going on?

16v revs another 1000 over the 8v, and the clocks depend on what year you car was made i think

[Veedubgt18v]

160mph ones are worth dollar!

My friends got a 16v 90 spec and i have a 1989 8v and a clio 16v

His golf will beat mine anyday of the week, But my clio kills his 16v for kicks lol.

Still i prefer my small bumper 8v great for sticking down counrty lanes

its about as simple as this

the 8v and the 16v are massivley diffrent cars.
it really depends wat u want form the car, if you live in a built up town type place then u definately want an 8 valve( lots more accessible torque), however if you live in the sticks then your onto a winner either way 8v or 16v.

 the 16v is obviously faster( this point shoud not even be discussed in forums anymore!!!!) >:

[golfvr6]

The 8v has more accessable torque than a 16v?
who told you that?
The 16v is better in every way than the 8v.
