What's he comparing it to? What he normally drives around Mt Panorama?

Hope he doesn't mind pics showing number plates being posted on the intramanet. :roflmbo:

270rwkw stock is pretty impressive. GT 335 is going to get very close to the 300 mark. If the normal factory tune is nice and rich, im sure these things will be pushing well into the 300's just with a tune.

Should have just waited... :(

My F6 did 279rwkw stock on 2 totally different dynos on different days and at different times of the day. The turbo cars will always show more power. Wonder if I'd beat a new GT with my lil 300rwkw tune...?

At the end of the day they are 2 very different approaches to achieving a similar power figure. The Turbo 6 will probably win in a straightline but put them round a circuit and especially a damp track the the GT will be quicker. The V8 has a much more linear power delivery and therefore you can feed the throttle on earlier. Have a look at the motor Hot Tuner comparo on a Wet track the 2 turbos were well off the pace (though one had mechanical issues) compared to similar powered V8s. It is also better balanced having a shorter alloy engine.

What sucks is the GS & GT being under the FPV banner they will only have a 1600kg towing capacity in auto which simply isn't enough for me :surrenderwave:.

R SPEC.

That is a fair call. And true as it may be, still doesn't mean I wouldn't trade my turbo in for a SC V8. And we best wait to see what these things are really capable of. Has any one got specs on the torque these make?

Small detail, the dyno run was "Thanks to Rob Herrod for the footage" so it might not be on a Herrod dyno per se. He might have just filmed it :)

GS - 545Nm from 2000-5500rpm

GT - 570Nm from 2000-5500rpm

Vs

F6 - 565Nm from 1950-5200rpm

Not massive but I reckon plenty more is lurking with small mods
