Keep it going guys! Great threads 8 versus16 valves argument. Don?t stop keep it up. I enjoy reading all the threads on this subject.
We belong to the VW family and as siblings we will always have arguments but deep down we care about each other?s welfare in terms of providing solutions to our common problems on our beloved cars.
I own a standard Mk2 8v, its quicker, performs and handles well than some modern cars and I love it. However when compared to a standard Mk2 16v then I'm afraid there is not contest on Speed.
Both are beautiful cars and have unique qualities and we?ve read their vital statistics many times over. It is a concrete fact. And common sense tells me not to race a 16v cos it will leave the 8v out of breath.
I don?t take some of the personal comments on these arguments to heart cos its hilarious. In some cases wind ups but its all done for the sheer fun of it.
