Factory Supercharged V6 Xr6

[Guest]

If Ford does drop the Inline 6 donk for a V6 and gives the engine that saved Ford Australia the ass the flick chances are Ford will need to fill the gap made by a missing XR6-T.

So if the performance was about the same would you buy a SuperCharged XR6 V6?

dont see why not, thought about getting a super6 but Expensive Daewoo didn't make a manual..

probably wont be as easily modded as the turbo, and I probably wouldn't trade the turbo for one, but im not repulsed by the idea!

Probably not. The words Ford and V6 send shivers down my spine. The Explorer V6 still gives me nightmares at night. I would rather buy a big cube V8 than a supercharged V6. But ultimatley I hope they can keep the inline six.

NO !!

My next car will be a BMW 335i ........ Twin Turbo.

Once I get sick of my MK 11 Turbo. :-)

If it was a Twin Turbo, yes.

Supercharger, no. Not as easy to modify, and not as fuel effecient as a turbo.

apparently for are doing developement turbo charging v6`s and v8`s in ths states.

Look, I could not care if a rubber band or a soda siphon powered the car as long as it did the right thing, however…

The issue is however that the functionality of the engine largely determines the functionality of the car,

and,

the architecture of the engine largely determines the functionality of the engine.

In short, the architecture of the engine has a direct relationship to the functionality of the car.

The ideal engine characteristics for the type of car that we are talking about, medium size, general purpose, RWD, reliable, torque plateau type output, smooth and free spinning and free breathing is best served by a medium capacity low boost turbo. The best architecture for a smooth medium capacity low boost turbo engine for a RWD car is… straight 6…

The XR6T engine was the state of the art in this type of architecture until the advent of the BMW 335i – and that is only slightly ahead. I want to see direct injection, antilag and variable geometry turbo on the XR6T before it is done – any one of those advances would put the XR6T engine again ahead of the 335i engine in terms of design for functionality.

V6 is a rough retrograde PIA.

Wouldnt piss on it.
