robbay91 Member 68 Member For: 12y 3m 26d Gender: Male Posted 23/01/13 12:48 PM Share Posted 23/01/13 12:48 PM Is it just me that likes the sound of the turbo 6's over the v8's, my ute is stock as a rock so it's pretty quiet but wen I give it a boot load and hear inside the cabin the sound of the engine and turbo working together it's just orgasmic. I'm still trying to find the best exhaust to create that exact note I'm getting in the cabin combined with the turbo sound Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then , when you feel the need - push a little harder and off you go with a smile - good thing again !!What I love the most about the supercharged eight ... no effort to roll along , listening to exhaust note - and then because of the supercharged as with the turbo - bang - you are off in a flash - smiling all the way - until it hurts ..The F6 v GT 335 - are both get cars - offering bang for bucks.. however , in my opinion - there is more to love about the eight than the F6 - when its not going hard !! As important as it is to feel the 'speed' - I feel the other side - slow , is as important and I feel the 5lt S/C does it best in that department !! :sungum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 5m 19d Posted 26/01/13 08:49 AM Share Posted 26/01/13 08:49 AM (edited) So how the hell is the GT at some 400rwhp stock supposed to feel slower than the F6 which has like what 330-340rwhp stock?Sort of Disappointing to hear because I always wanted to get a GT or GS.What is most Interesting is that the F6 Pulls harder from lower RPM.... shouldn't the Larger capacity 5.0L with a Supercharger which comes on instantly have more pull,that is what I don't get.If really the F6 is pulling harder than the GT in low revs, then the GT must be De-tuned in that area from factory?

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 14d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 26/01/13 08:56 AM Share Posted 26/01/13 08:56 AM Superchargers still build up to peak power as they depend on engine RPM to work..Turbos use witchcraft so most are making peak power at 3500-4000rpm..Obviously turbo is going to feel faster to the butt dyno.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will let ya know when I tune mine cause I believe it feels like its held back for driveline safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Member 41 Member For: 13y 6d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 21/03/13 09:56 PM Author Share Posted 21/03/13 09:56 PM Hmmmm, back to this post now I have been running with the mods and tune for a few months. OK OK it's awesome as some of you can attest to with your own modded F6s, but seriously, bang for buck and change out of $4K, it must be bloody difficult to get that much of an improvement out of a GT for the same dosh - 100+ additional rwkw and about 230 extra Nm.And it's NOT the rwkw that us F6ers should care about. Any tuner can make the graph look good at peak. What's mind blowing is the turbo's torque and how hard it pulls from low revs. And keeps pulling. And keeps pulling.Doing the maths, power to weight is still a little less than a Lambo Much but torque to weight - that's another story ! Tuner dude remapped the tranny too - absolutely awesome in it's own right. Changes now happen in half the time with none of that factory fuel cutoff crap thinggy between changes. Sqeals 3rd gear now even on freeways. Lights second up like the old map did in first.And this is a mild set of mods compared to some of you die hards Perhaps if the GTs had an intercooler you could go alot further with boost, but they're not cheap.Anyone still tossing up a Coyote over an F6 - just drive both.Curious, I am not a drag strip kinda guy but does anyone have an F6 around 370rwkW and 800Nm that has has had a strip run on drag slicks? Would love to know what they are capable of. Or even on road tyres ??TJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
