R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/03/08 04:28 AM Share Posted 16/03/08 04:28 AM (edited) I hope you're right!We all know that the plates on them are bullsh*t. My stock F6 had 285kw at 3000 clicks and would most likely have more now it's run in, and my mate's stock CV8Z Monaro has 254kw (badged at 240).This is based on rwkw figures multiplied by 1.34, but the point remains the same!Edit: Plus V8s are boring...
