16v or 8v

[marcus123]

validate what your saying,

y is it superior?

[VeeDubGTI16v]

ok its torquier ALL over the rev range, its more powerful over the whole rev range, its got slightly better suspension (10mm lower) its got better brakes (256mm brakes 8v has 239mm), its got an extra 1000rpm to rev, and i think the 16v's gears are a bit longer too ok the 8v isnt slow and i dont dislike them but you gotta realise that the 16v is faster.

What you doing veedubgti16v, we've got to get to at least 50 pages before you can start making conclusive statements like that!

well so what if its quicker?
that doesnt make it a better car!!
a renault 5 gtt is quicker than a mk2 gti, but does that make it  a better car?
NO!!!!!

Sorry zoid


apart from these advantages they are pretty much the same car marcus so yes it is a better car. its not hard to see

ok then truce?

there both as good as eachother?

*marcus offers a handshake truce to veedub16valve*

 

[Dizzie]

just drive both ffs!

then you'll see how nice the 16v is and how it doesn't lack anything at low revs where the 8v will never be happy @ 7000rpm.

read the golf+ this month. it tells you all about the 8 and 16v designs

Although I think they are mainly talking crap regarding price, and before everyone starts telling me how cheap they got their car for, well all I'll say is if anyone out there can find me a mint (and I mean mint) late spec 16v with 70k for under 3k then I'll quite happily pay you a finders fee, say 5% (and I'm being serious!)
