timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 1m 22d Gender: Male Posted 09/04/12 02:55 AM Share Posted 09/04/12 02:55 AM (edited) I have a friend,or rather more an acquaintance, who is considering a GTS.I thought I'd look around the net and try to get some info for my own curiosity.To my surpriseI found a few dyno runs on stock GTSs that didn't go above 245kw atw.....is that indicative of the current GTSs?Dyno runs of the FG F6 310 have usually shown between 260-270 kw atw.Maybe some of you guys that have more knowledge on dynos and/or GTSs could shed some light but a 240 -245kw atw from a 325kw(Fly wheel) motor seems to me quite low?Below is just one example of a dyno run from a new and totally stock GTS 325.

The GTS is rated at 325 flywheel kw from factory, he is wondering why there is such a big loss at the rear wheels compared to a F6 310.Explain to him that he'll need a supercharger and/or stroker kit to keep up with a ford turbo 6 (modified of course) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only car I've ever known 1 car to show the 'claimed' manufacturer fly wheel kw, at the wheels..and that's the SC GS lolBut agree as said above..let him buy it then give it to him haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its still that way today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old tuner had a package for VE GTS's to get them to 280rwkw. You think they would make that stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
