New Guy Xr6,f6 Or Gt-P

[FocusRS]

Hi guys,

New to the forum.

My names Aaron im currently in the UK but have lived in Melbourne for the past 5 years or so.

Im after some advice on which model to look at buying.

I have decided between a XR6 or an F6 or a GT-P..

Im not a stranger to high powered cars so what ever I decide to buy wont stay standard, Out the above 3 which one would you recommend as a good base for 650+ WHP?

Id be changing brakes, suspension, etc resale value isnt really a big deal but if one does hold out alot better then the other it would be good to know etc..

Thanks for reading,

Aaron

If you can find a f6 with the 6pot brembos and 4pot rears that's a good start turbos easy to get power out of

The v8s you will end up spending a lot more $$ on to get the same result as the f6.

But It comes down to what you want really

What year would I be looking at for the 6pots and 4 pots all the ones I seem to find are auto and I hate auto! Haha

Yh im on the verge of 50% more power in one of my RS's and my soeera is 3 times the original power so I know how easy it fet power out of a good turbo engine.

I was just thinking the size of the V8 may eventully make it easier to get power etc

This is not necessarily true if your looking at the supercharged 8

Of your looking to go new model gtp then u can have the supercharged 5.0 and get power pretty easily

On our conservative dyno the gs ute r&d vehicle we've been tuning has over 400rwkw and that's on a baby tune with not big $ spent really

Totally different drive than a turbo though so depends on what u want

Depends how far you wanna go mate the 4 litre inline 6 is a power house for big numbers.. 1000hp + if that's where you wanna go haha

[fatz_f6_typhoon]

How much are you going to spend on a car??? Should have asked that first

[FocusRS]

Prob around the 60k mark mate.. Should get a nice manual for that.

Only downside to ozzie big cars are they weight of them!

That sounds like my end game tbh mate.. Obviously it will need forged engine maybe uprated transmission?

[fatz_f6_typhoon]

^^^ yup yup and yup

Wel like princess fluff said with that budget you can get the gt 335 supercharged v8 and spend bugger all on it and have a good car

Now the question is do you like v8s or turbo 6s

U get a manual in the 335 supercharged and make it have 650 or more horse u wouldn't wanna have to drive it every day IMO

Also depends what u want it for... Straight line? Then go an auto..

Bends... Don't go that much power ...

If your just a dyno queen number chaser then do whatever the fhuk u like

[FocusRS]

I like my cars to be setup to do everything. Handle well, have power, be able to use that power etc

I cant stand auto so that's out the question already.

I have no issues driving a 600hp car daily I drove my soetra daily and I now drive my 560hp RS daily so another 50hp isnt really going to make much of a diffrnece if its tuned properly it will be fine for everyday use.
