8v vs 16v

[MattyT]

Met a dude with a mk3 16v on our last perth cruise, lordy does that thing fly! Loves to rev too.

How do they compare to that of an average VR?

You'd have to ask runamuk

Somehow I don't think he'll hear me from NSW...

I don't imagine it would have been, and thats why its its treated in almost as the same way as the VR6 in a three i.e. respected with a considerable following... Its still no 1.8T mind you.

a 16v will give a VR a good run for its money. mid range on the VR is very stronge but a point to point run would be fun!!!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Especially with good twisties. I'd imagine the 16v is more agile... ?

[velly_16v_cab]

all down to the weight thing as standard.


still, both are better than an 8v lol
