The T6 can't compare. Do the internals and you'll have 500rwkw + the great sound + the bulge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was stock vs stock....You can't argue that BOSS TT kit will out do all T6 modifications (I wish it could). If you have the money you can make either one go. And also how do you compare like with like...If I was modifying I would buy the Phoon, it has a great starting base with the all good bits to make it gooooo...

The TT BOSS will certainly outdo a T6. However it is always a cost v benefit balance and I can't see too many people wanting to spend up to $15,000 over and above what they've already shelled out for a GT just to hose a T6. In short, I see the T6 (XR or Typhoon) as the bang for buck performance sedan for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read any of my post on the forum and tell me where I have. My comment above was about the 6 cylander Turbos in general and how V8's, when turbocharged will be very storng, as you'd expect. I just went for a drive in a TT V8 the other day and the power from the thing is awesome. Yes, I own a T and it is bloody brilliant, but so is the GT and the XR8. they both have engines screaming for potential. It's all good for all ford owners in the end. My comments are not meant to offend anyone, nor should they.We can argue anything we like - Steve can introduce enough twists and turns into a debate to break a snake's back.Yes, but all in the good nature of debate I've seen a few wobblys from you too, Turbo6man, but as long as it's all civil it's all good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit a wall with the T at around 330rwkw where it's a 10K+ additional outlay above the 10 or more you've already spent to move forward.Wouldnt it be awesome if ford brought out a TT V8 from FPV. 400fwkw with 6psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChargerMal Member 15 Member For: 20y 2m 16d Posted 07/12/04 08:09 AM Share Posted 07/12/04 08:09 AM Hi there I'm new to the forum..but have an interest in the recent crop of modern "performace cars" currently on offer....and get really NARKED by the lack of real performance figures quoted by papers and some mags.... Here's a couple of interesting stories which you may all be interested in...After the recent article in The Age newspaper, I rang FPV here in Melbourne asking if they could quote some performance stats, as the article said very little other than quoted Nm figs and KW figs... The guy at the other end stated it was Ford Aust. policy NOT to quote figures, and that I should ring Wheels Magazine and see if they'd tested it!!Well he obviously knew they had...as when I did I got a cadet journo on the line who happily informed me they'd just done the Calder test, and on a greasy track they only got a 14.6 out of it...So me (being the stirrer I am!) rang FPV back and told them this...man were they unhappy!!! ................but the guy there still said they couldn't quote any of their own figures...but that FPV would def. be hurting when that stuff was published!so there ya go...even in the face of bad publicity they won't quote times or speeds... I also thought it was intersting also that Motor magazine got a 14.1(?) out of it...a much more realistic apparaisal I think.... Lastly...from what I understand, modern low profile radials are the worst things around to get any real treaction with...something to do with the fact that they don't "patch" under load well...so the surface area of contact remains limited...wonder what people think about this?xtone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
