Red

 

Yes

 

yes......however, the 16v never ran (broke it instead), ut have driven 16v's

 

Carb, 8V GTI, 16V GTI, Syncro, G60 Syncro...


I was just thinking the other day actually - I haven't seen a fresh 8V vs. 16V thread in a long time.

 

Pity people didn't use the search button.

 

MK1 8V & MK1 16V

G60 Syncro on my christmas list the list you always want but never get [:^(]

 

Ive had both of them

 

there is a lad at work who has had both . fag !

 

had a 8v kjet, 16v k jet and a g60

go on ask which one is better...i dare ya

 

yep i got both at the mo

 

I want a 16v. Just to try it.

But i dont think i could live with the lack of torque.

Hahahaha!

 

I've had both. So what?

 

(Ill start then)

8v's all the way..

 

ive had both, had a few 8valve mk2's in standard form and a 16v in standard form.

not starting any arguments here. my own view is that the 16v beats the 8v in evry possible way. i can see where the argument is, allthough they do use more fuel!?

 

depends what you want it for,

town driving with occasional country blast...8v

out and out flat out performance, track use, etc...16v

 

I'd use an 8v to look at on the drive and use the 16v for everything else

 

I had both.

And the 8v was ghey.

 

i used to have a 130pd audi, the 8v has more torque. luff it to the max

 

i like the challenge of driving a 16v with so little around town torque, infact intown i often have to ask passers by to help push on slight uphills as over lowered kerbs as it lacks torque so badly.

if you want ginormous amounts of ocean liner style torque then a 8v is clearly the way ahead

 

i have a 16v abf mk3. i suppose the Gargantuan weight doesnt help, but the lack of torque means that i have to drop the clutch at 6 grand to get up the driveway. sometimes it doesnt even get up the driveway first time
