Vic Spotted & Chat Thread

Should be interesting eitherway. You think they gave up on a loosing battle with the V8's and are now gonna have a crack at the turbo six market?

[Henz]

I was under the impression straight 6s make bucket loads more torque than v6s. Hence trucks using straight 6s

henz did you get my pm.

[Dillz]

Good heads up Tony.

I'm sorta with henz about straight sixes too, there's gotta be a reason the japs have been using them for years. Are there any proven v6 turbo? Asside from the 35's, And the junker 300zx is not one..

[Pazzo]

mitsubishi 3000gt, buick regal, the one out of fast furious number 4, the black one vin diesel drives at the start. renault a310gt alpine, the new opel insignia 235kw V6 turbo, the new saab 9-5 V6 T, cadillac srx V6 T. hope that helps. sure there's more but can't think of any.

The V6 turbo Expensive Daewoo made engine is already out in the US in Cadillacs but have already been recalled several times but they think that's because of low-octane petrol over there. Apparently making roughly 235kw too, but I'm sure it will come out over here with 5 more kw's than Fords turbo lol..

[Pazzo]

pretty sure it's a twin turbo, there going to use it in the latest camaro. called the lf3, the camaro car on display had 435hp. it's 3.5ltr v6.

[Dillz]

Haha not just any v6t but good ones..

[Pazzo]

the v6 buick regal, would swap my XR6T for one anyday, especially a gnx one from 1985 to 1987, 0 to 100 in 4.9 secs standard, dudes are getting 9/10sec qtrs in the states with not much work. check them out on youtube. sorry 0 to 100 4.7 and 13.5 qtr standard.not bad for a mid 80s car.
