nah, put a gd drive in both and the 16v will win every time ;) if you know where the power is then you know how to use it when you pull away.

Has anyone got any sound/vid clips of a 16v sport engine? (standardish, eg no TB's!)

standard the 16v is quicker, 8v is 82hp and 16v is 90hp

however the 1.4 8v single point injection engine is something daft like 60hp

get some tb's on the 8v and its quicker :)
alltho the 16v engine sounds really pokey in standard form,

Less sensors to go wrong, the 8v is just more reliable in general tbh.

And to settle the argument, the 1.4 16V is quicker than the 8v, although less reliable! :)
