(loved my V8s. Sold it, went overseas come back and needed a ute so gave this a run and have loved it.Its currently back to stock as im ready to trade. But got some basic mods done by HERROD inc cat back, air intake inc growler, tune, front mount. Cheap mods that pulled 290rwkw with 700nm.Time to get a sedan, and time to go FPV.Ive recently had my heart set on a new GT. Havent driven one but I know id love it. Id be buying new so would be anywhere between 67-69990 Drive away.Then there are instant mods inc exhaust, tune, filter, lower. Down the track mods inc intercool, pulley injectors.Tought to find the colours etc I want with NAV.10k Less, we have the F6. looks the part, got all the good gear can even find them with NAV for 59-60k.Exhaust, tune, cai. All under the GT price.Are the GT's really THAT awesome?I wouldnt be doing track days, not fussed on running the strip. Just a tough street car.Im in 2 minds. and it hurts. I Know If I go the F6 im always going to be curious on the GTs roar and performance. And I know if I get the GT ill be rapt I got it. But would of cost abit more!...Help... What sort of power could I expect out of an F6 with a cat back, tune, CAI? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catback does very little, your need a hi flow cat or even a dump aswell. Wouldn't bother with a cai unless you go turbo side intake, just put a k n N filter in the box. Just need cooler pipes and possibly a cooler and your looking at a comfortable 300rwkw. K n N, dump, cat, cooler pipes, xcal3 and tune will set you back between $3000-$3500 installed and tuned. Add a cooler and your about $4500 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
