[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave A[/i] all of the common myths are coming out in this thread! 8v are good engines but limited by the breathing aspect of things above 5krpm 16v are better at higher revs but need to be revved higher to produce the higher figures which usually means less low down torque the 8v engines are no stronger than a 16v engine. due to the higher revs the 16v bottom ends are more likely to suffer premature wear generally out of the 2 the 16v is a better engine as it is smoother, more economical, far more modern and more tunable.
