SM0KED Member 20 Member For: 16y 28d Posted 15/04/09 11:56 PM Share Posted 15/04/09 11:56 PM Hi folks,Long Time reading this site and first time posting.Putting aside FPVs Turbo 6 Cylinder, I Just thought I would air my utter dismay over reading press articles pitting HSVs 6.3s and 7.0s against the baby Boss 5.4s?Even though the 315 beats it on peak power the flaws of lower capacity are all but exposed during these comparisons.When will Ford (PV) bite back with a higher capacity (Quad Cammed) Boss?

This would be a nice addition to the current turbo 6 and surely increase sales on the V8 range.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56773-is-it-really-ford-performance/#findComment-861589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 8m 7d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 16/04/09 03:23 AM Share Posted 16/04/09 03:23 AM I wouldn't give too much credibility to the articles though. Their results are often contrary to what people are getting in the real world. In NZ they actually rate the GT as being quicker than the HSVs.You can't argue that Ford/FPV haven't done enough to combat the HSVs, but I wouldn't mind betting that if Ford came out with a blown 10 litre V8 with 445 rubber on the back, the magazines would still say it's slower than a HSV! Look at what they do with the F6! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56773-is-it-really-ford-performance/#findComment-861591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base engine should be 300 kw for XR8, with a bit of whine for the FPV's.
