ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 5m 25d Gender: Male Posted 08/08/12 05:51 AM Share Posted 08/08/12 05:51 AM Hey guys, unfortunately my FG XR6 turbo got written off a few weeks back and now I'm looking for something new. The two options I have in mind are a 2010 315GS supercharged 8 and then tuning it or going with a 2008 FG F6 and doing a full Nizpro stage 3 kit on it. both will cost me about the same amount overall and they should yield fairly similar power (within 40rwkw). the only real differences between the vehicles are that the F6 has brembo brakes whereas the GS has stock brakes and that the F6 has 66,000km and the GS has only 10,000km. Does anyone have any experience with the Supercharged 8's and how they compare with a worked 6 e.g. response, handling, engine/driveline strength etc? any info would be great.Cheers,Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go the GS for something different. I've driven one. Not as ballistic as the T, but you don't need to do much to make good power. Plus, you get something that makes a decent noise.

The f6 will be quicker on The quarter, but a few basic mods to the gs will get 400rwkw, and they drive so nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
