I'll let Velly break out the big secret of the 16v over the 8v..

dont listen to me....i am "all torque"

Hahahahahahaha. Yes my point exactly.

[evorobin]

I'll fess up I was looking for the comparison graph people always roll out which shows the valver making more power EVERYWHERE rendering the 8v has more down low redundant.

I remember after we got the valver in mine the exact moment I opened the taps. Cheers Gavin

Saying that the 8v is actually the better engine giving performance and economy. SEAT 2l has good torque whereas the g/box & heavy flywheel wreck the Cupra 16v...

I own a GTi and i always read about this battle! i am looking at buying another car (probably Seat) and i would like to know do all the australian cupras have the 16v in them? I would also like to know what is bad about cupra gearbox? Is it a ratio thing or is there someway i can fix it? The flywheel can be lightened but what do i do to the gearbox?

Isn't it the ratio's of the O2A being a tad too long? Its pretty good in my VR6 but then that does have a very fresh motor in it...

Ah, ok that makes a bit of sense. I've seen others suggest that the cupra makes a better highway cruiser & the gti a better point & squirt car.

I know that getting mine of the line quickly is a fine balancing act with revs, but once its moving & you bury the right foot it just hammers through to the limiter

I do use mine as a daily driver & it seems to handle the taller gears with low revs without any problems.

So thanks to Matt not only is my bank balance going to take a hit[/FONT][/COLOR]

I hate you Matt............

I don't hate Matt, but my wife does, I just don't understand it, he's always so polite. She's never even spoken to him or seen him but every time he sends us a letter she throws it in the bin?

My wife has no problems with Matt but she keeps getting confused. No matter how many times I say he's not in the computer industry she reminds me that she's going to give him mouse balls when she sees him.
