The supercharged model is by far the best yet, but again, for marginal (if any) increase over the T. So it will always be a "heart" over "head" decision, and there's not too many buyers out there like that unfortunately for Ford, which is why they sell as fast as the QEII turns around in Sydney harbour.

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 21y 8m 21d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 30/10/11 08:59 AM Share Posted 30/10/11 08:59 AM It's all torque guys and that's it torque, no way will a blown 6 have more torque than a charged V8, to cruise around town in 4th gear and have the torque to fairly push the car up to perform, without dropping back to 2nd is cool, of course you flakes that drive autos would not have experienced this.I suppose it's why women enjoy the pleasures of an older more experienced man rather than the quick, intense experience of a young man, it's about staying the course, why is it V8 Supercars, not blown 6 cars........ cause 6's are not Supercars........Yeah I'm invincible I have been playing Battlefield 3 .....

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 30/10/11 09:13 AM Share Posted 30/10/11 09:13 AM T6 with over 350killerbies come on pretty hard when they do.A V8 is more linear in it's delivery making it easier to get the power down earlier. Not sure what a S/C brings to that equation. Thinking it would still have to be better.Looking around car sales there is ten G in it. The F6 to the GT. Looking back in time there is about ten G in it. And this is a better GT.Having driven both on the road now. @ posted road speeds.The F6 feels more refined. Quieter. Easier to drive.So you will get your ten G back in the long run going the GT option. If you have it splash it I guess. I don't. But I would.

Hate to break it to you, but they do.. See below a comparison between an FG F6 and GS with very similar power (hope Lee from RDP doesn't mind me using the pic..) .. Notice the big difference in Torque... This is why S/T fords will always need a lot more power than the 6T to do the same time down the quarter... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a difference in the torque curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
