Maitland Posted 22/04/12 11:20 AM Share Posted 22/04/12 11:20 AM well then ill put it this way, why have a tiny 4ltr 6cyl when you could have a 5ltr v8? why have a 5ltr v8 when you could have a 6ltr v8 or a 7ltr?? sure you can make 1000hp with 4ltr but you could make 2000hp with a 6ltr. the point is for the average person is they dont want mega hp, if you could have a stock xr6 turbo and have to pay 6cly rego and more fuel and more weight or you could have a 4cly with the same kw and less weight less money and less fuel for the average everyday person then the 4cly would be the winner I think...my point with the supra was there are reasons why people down size motors. 2jz is tuff and can make a million hp but 1000hp in a track car that doesnt handle would be stupid, I think the 3s is like 600ish and all the weight is more central, it was done like that for a reason in the same way there could be good reasons to have a 2ltr turbo falcon, just think if you could have a seq turbo setup on it and have your 300kw 2lr and still have low down power from a smaller turbo, sure you prob wont see any 10second 2ltr falcons but 14s are doable in a na ba falcon so im sure high 13s would be doable in a boosted 2ltr falcon last time I checked 13s street car wasnt to shabbyIf it all works out for Spiko, you can make 2000hp with a 4ltr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always keep the xr6T though...sold all my previous cars and regretted each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 17y 7m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 23/04/12 02:04 AM Share Posted 23/04/12 02:04 AM F_kn bunch of whiners you lot are. We all know falcon is struggling (and that's an understatement). The biggest problem is in people's perception. But they had to try something, personally I think diesel would have been a better option but this is the next best thing. If I had to choose between this and the NA6 I would pick this.And as cobramad said, it's all about perception, sheep automatically think 4 cylinder is more economical than 6. 6 is slower than 8 etc...Has anyone driven the thing? How is the real world fuel consumption? We all know turbo engines get VERY thirsty when pushed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be the first to do it in a big Aussie built car. Then market that. Edited 23/04/12 02:47 AM by PAZZOnegger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
