good idea lashes - wrong but still a good idea

my 20vt does nothing for the first 3 seconds.....then hits 60, 3 seconds later....
Talk about turbo lag......lmao

i say no more

Straight induction pipe and decat are your friends!








(though probably not best friends with your turbo, engine, clutch... )

Linear - 20vt, Brutal - 16vt.

End.

no

nice car Eks.

Yes nice car Eks! And Spit...F O

Thanks for the comments in amongst the arguing guys - stop hijacking my thread - however, to add to the argument,

The 16VT does seem more brutal - The 20vt (at least the one I have!) has little to no lag when the gearing is correct - just straight up power. The 16vt does nothing for 5 seconds and everything in the last 2 it seems! It feels quicker (yes I know it's not - that's obvious from the fact that the 20VT is faster!), it feels more brutal - and comes with a LOT more engine noise than the 20.

I do still prefer the acceleration on the 16, the brutal raw power. The 20 is obviously superior in the power department, but it IS more subtle - let's not forget I only drove the two variants last thursday, within hours of each other, and the 16 was very very sick - it still felt more brutal and raw!

However I'm loving the lack of lag with the 20VT, and may one day change my opinion, after all, I lived with the 16VT for nearly a year, I havn't had the 20VT for a week yet!

So - guys - please, cease the arguing, no one can win the argument over who's opinion is best suited.
My opinion is my own opinion, it just happens I share it with DidCoop and not the 20VT fans! Until the 20VT changes my opinion, it still stands that I, at the moment, prefer the power delivery of the 16VT.

Now - can we have more gushing remarks at what a lovely Coupe I have - and what a fantastic job Joe has done on getting it to this state! Well done Joe

Don't worry Eks it's been said a million and 1 times the 16vt gives a brutal kick in the teeth when it suddenly comes on boost and the 20vt surges through the rev range more subtly.

People always comment the 16 FEELS faster than the 20 when it standard trim stock for stock it's obviously not.

And your Coupe is marvellous Eks

ummm well Ive always said and will continue the 16vt is the best coupe produced it has best acceleration the best steering and more responsive brakes dispite being slightly heavier than the 20vt.

All the 20vt's ive played with in and side by side werent a disapointment just not as exciting like driving in a turbo charged arm chair

If each of them had a personality

20vt Its a person who would sit and read the finacial times and coment on global warming and sits in front of a open fire with a smoking jacket on and a pipe the name for this personality OAP with jogging shoes

16vt well loves a good piss up and a brawler and wouldn't hesitate to deck you and it also has a gentle side it ill buy you chocolates and flower and then be more cruel to you afterwards and a complete Adrenalin rush every time you go for a ride the name for this personality Beelzebub and is like that one night stand you always remember and want back.

LOL!!!

GT_SEB0 best post ever and every point agreed with and now, so long as the 20vt boys don't try a come back, we'll leave it at that

After reading this thread and the comparison between the 20vt and 16vt, I have a new found respect for the 16vt.

Previously I just used to think that it was 'not as fast as the 20vt.'

It's not

i used to think the same until that day i drove to sames and a 20vt was pushing me up a duel carriage way which wound me up so i dropped a cog and left him for dust and he tried to keep up but couldnt keep up with the pace


not that i was speeding officer

lol GT_SEB0 what personalities would the 16v and the 20v have then?

oh and GT_SEB0 is your Coupe tuned or stock? what bhp you running at?

And sarcasm is the simplest form of wit Mr JKD

the 16V would probably be pinocchio ....with a long nose

hmmm im running standardish

?

It's the old Windows 7 vs XP argument.

Windows 7 does all these wonderful things and is all new and wow (20vt) but XP is just better (16vt)

the 16v na is the mother and the 20v n/a is the great uncle people hardly ever see

his nose is getting longer by the minute ....lol

You want to stop getting aroused every time we mention 16vt's Spit. Best get that looked at or get a Beelzebub Coupe

Because the 20v engine is cheaper to build

Keep your refinement, the lampredi is a RALLY engine.

Afer a skyline......nothing compares mate....even my beast.
It's fun so far.....

DidCoop I don't understand

LOL. Less well endowed? Try telling that to coupe Integrale. He's only got 8 valves but I'd take his coop over any other on the forum!

If you were being genuine I apologise.

Wahey another 16vt owner in the crowd Mrs LickyL, I wondered when we'd take force lol!
