Wheels Does Video Of F6 And Gst

[FPV 521]

pretty sure its the quickest mate, if you look at the bar graph on page 5 you can see the green, yellow and red bars with the green (F6) being the shortest

Yip, it is the quickest.

The shorter the coloured lines the faster the car.

I have a copy of the mag and blow are the 0-100 times for each car.

The 4.82 was done at a drag track and the normal finish line was used for the start point in order to retain more grip.

1-100kmh (on normal road condiditons)

F6 4.99

S3 6.46

EVO 5.45

80-120

F6 2.64

S3 3.61

EVO 3.59

Question for you guys though.

I am not really mechanically minded but will try.

With the F6 having 565 nm available at only 1950 rpm upwards and the GT having 551 nm at 4750 rpm will the drive train etc last as long in the F6 seeing the it carries more torque more of the time.

Probably not making much sense but if the GT doesnt make its maximun nm until 4750 rpm will it be easier on the drive train etc over time.

Only reason I ask is that the F6 is putting up some awesome numbers and costs a lot less than the Euro cars 427 etc so will it stand the test of time seeing it is so much cheaper.

So do the euros etc have a lot stronger transmissions etc for the monry they demand or does one pay a heap more for the badge.

We will be starting a family soon and I will get my last FPV for several years once I order one this year so I would like a car that will last well as it will be several years before another car will come my way.

A guy bought this subject up today and his thoughts are that the F6 will wear quicker as drive train etc is under more pressure more often but I am buggered if I know.

Any advice would be great and I know you clever lot will know, well that's if I have made any sense at all.

Not necessarily no. The ZF box is rated by Ford/FPV to 650Nm. There are plenty of cars making much more than that and they are coping fine - but who knows over a matter of years.

If you keep it standard or even mildly tuned, I'm sure the driveline will be fine provided you keep the maintenance regular

That great, thanks for that

Also, most of the time a street car won't be given what for, meaning they're not under a lot of strain all of the time.
