That already beats times we have recorded with the same equipment for both the XR6 Turbo (5.4 seconds) and new HSV 6.2-litre V8 (5.6 seconds)."And as you've stated Flukey, they also did a 5.1 with the T &G6ET.Will be interesting also to see what they do when run in a bit.

In the blue it looks sexy but every other colour I have seen it in it looks a bit miss matched. FPV have to be careful, to many pretty add on bits make a car look like a R8. And we all know R8 = GayAs for the 310 well I am jealous....I have 260rwk in my Rspec, that cost me 2g's. Lets assume the same sort of gains are made with 2g's in the FG then you will be hitting 300+ for very little spend and in my book looks count for little when you are in the rear view.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I'd pay $500 for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe FPV will not change this as it is Product Recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New details about the F6 motor include: - New Turbo, larger compressor wheel, different compressor housing and up-rated wastegate spec.- Lower Comp. Ratio, down from 8.7:1 to 8.47:1.- Boost is now 0.91bar or 13.3psi- Larger intercooler featuring 22% increase in cooler volume, 45% improvement in heat rejection and a 34% reduction in pressure drop.- New exhaust manifold featuring a more "tuned length" runner design.Apparently the F6 is an absolute weapon on the road and sounds the business too. Cabin feel better and more like a "cockpit". The new TR6060 manual is quite impressive also.Sounds good to me! :fear (5): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/05/08 04:07 AM Share Posted 16/05/08 04:07 AM (edited) Very tempting...! I'm sure I could get my own rims and get those eyes painted out... My 6310 reasons are mostly looks based anyway.But I never pay full price so I'll wait till the run outs lolDo I just ring up my local for a test drive when they come out Pat?

See how you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
