Guest XR09 Guests Posted 12/02/10 01:55 AM Share Posted 12/02/10 01:55 AM It's just more weight over the front axles. If they could cut that closer to the six, or at least get the center of gravity lower and further back, then I would have one. Higher power pully with a tune and that sucker would fly.

This represents a weight savings of more than 20 percent versus the previous 5.0-liter offering. Lower mass can be attributed to the aluminum block and heads, the lightweight composite intake manifold, composite cam covers and hollow camshafts.

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 8m 9d Posted 12/02/10 10:52 AM Share Posted 12/02/10 10:52 AM A supercharger on a road car in 2010+... no thanks. I cannot see the value in trading the perfectly flat torque delivery of a well set up turbo for slightly more throttle response at low revs which can only be used to fry tyres. Weight transfer and traction generally limit the rate of acceleration of the current crop of F6's, so being able to dump more torque into the driveline even earlier when the chassis already lacks tractions is a waste of time. Once on boost the turbo engine installations have essentially zero latency, so what is the point of a super charger? I mean really, what apart from some marketing ploy? As for the sound of a V8, I don't care. It is difficult to see the point of using fuel to drive a blower when all that free energy is heading down the exhaust by dint of deleting a turbo, or two.As for an all alloy DI V8 TT, yes I would buy that.And as for the sound of a all alloy DI V8TT.... really, I don't care.Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 8m 9d Posted 13/02/10 12:17 AM Share Posted 13/02/10 12:17 AM (edited) Look, I am certain it is a brilliant drive, no doubt. Ford when they decide to, make absolutely stellar mass market drivers' cars which also function perfectly as day to day real world cars.Wouldn't it have been nice though, to have whatever the peak torque is in this new S/C engine, extend all the way back in a flat line to 1200rpm? Wouldn't it be nice to have all to have all that low and high end boost (torque) for free?As for the turbo being second rate, well, the XR6-T/F6 is the MX-5 of the muscle car world. The refinement, the delivery is every bit as important, no, more important, to the enjoyment of the car than as a single raw power number. Apologies if that last comment confounds the marketing department's demographic modeling of the XR6T/F6 buyers. Focus groups can be so misleading.
