F6 310 Vs 335 Gt Raceway

[01txr]

Think about it turbos come on in a big rush so yes down low should be better. Supercharger is progressive in power delivery so runs harder the the revs raise.

But one thing you can't discredit is displacement will win if both engines are equal on efficiency.

Both engines like to rev albiet the i6 only safe to 6500 due to oil pump design and mainly crank balance and length.

The GT and GS suppose to have steel crank and forged rods standard.

The i6 has been superseded.

I'm sad and wish it hadn't as I to am owner of a i6.

Cranny if you buy a f6 over a GT I pity you as you will regret not going with the GT or even a GS.

If want a very quick I6 lots spent buy me the GT I will swap you.

GT / GS = 5.0l steel crank, forged rods

F6 = 4.0l cast long flexing crank, plastic rods

Also you make mention of the 80-120 yes right in the meat of the low down turbo rush.

Try 6th gear 60k and I bet the the F6 gets flogged.

Who runs from 60km/h in 6th?

If you're racing you'll pick the best gear for the job, surely. Not sure why the mags bother to time the cars past 4th gear? Unless you're on a track and it's a long straight I guess. But even then you'll be going like the clappers by the time 5th comes around, probably 220+!

I do when some P plater with his vn 3.8 try's running me.

Could not bother changing back to 2nd to waste my tyres or fuel.

Was only making a statement on drivability of the sc v8 compared to t6.

Turbo lag!

01txr...... plastic rods? if those rods are helping some ppl reach 470rwkw etc on a stock fg bottom end,

how are they "plastic"?.... that's pretty impressive imo.

drugs are killing our society

[Guest XR09]

No no. The GT is the new king. And I cant wait for people to start tuning them. And reaching incredible power and noise and every one wanting one.

Then me and my 6 can go back to sneaking under the radar again. The I6 was always the greatest Qship. The GTE might take that crown. But I could not live with fake wood grain and gay wheels.

[01txr]

Adrian f6 I think most will agree plastic rods.

Yes some less than most have achieved them to make big power.

All the oem internal i6 that are making big power are on a timer.

The ones that last longer than some are usually the Sunday drives

Or the ones miss daisy putts around in till the next dyno day.

The oem i6 is not a very strong bottom end.

The Coyote is strong.

Even mine broke a rod which may have been due to small cast air pocket right in centre

Of beam just above big end.

Problem cast not forged.

has any one seen the new motor mag once again the crap hsv maloo gets the tick and the f6 and gs SUPERCHARGED ute loose. I so want to punch the guys who right these mags

[Guest XR09]

Yeah the big poof's

I would take the mapoo too if I was buying a ute c'mon 2012

It is just the opposite, Mate.

Turbos' are way better at higher RPM (remember, rule of thumb, turbo output pressure quadruples with doubling in speed), and blowers, being positive displacement pumps, are better (immediate) torque deliver off the bat.

I would expect a turbo 6, at around 16psi boost, to kill the V8 at around 10psi boost on top-end. Total engine capacities should be the same, but turbo engine will deliver more torque simply due to higher adiabatic efficiency.

Or something such.

I would expect the V8 engine to be stronger off the line, and, all else equal, should be the quicker car down the 1/4 - while the turbo 6 stronger at top-end.

If we consider identical rwkw's, that is.

Luv the new V8, and would like to one day slot twin turbos on one -- then no T6 will get close

how can people start making claims that the Gt has stronger motor without ever driving one let alone tuning it upwards of 400 Rwkw. this motor is still new in the states and they haven't really proven its reliability yet. the I6 has a proven track record of making awesome power fairly reliably. not to mention how many spare parts that are available. as I have said before not one GT has blown me away yet. I have driven one (wasn't impressed) and nobody has on this forum or any other forum has smashed the 1/4. and to top it off, all of the Crappy magazines inculding the drive review favour the Crumodoore. as said by jeremy Clarkson some cars are best left as a pipedream or a poster on the wall. I am sorry GT I am not sold yet Bring on the almighty F6.
