LOL.turbo burnouts are sh*t hahahaha, I like my boss burnout better than a turbo skid, yes turbo is faster and kicks like a mule when boost hits but can you sit in first and second doin a burnout, and get the revs down to 1300 rpm still smoking tyres then bang it up to 5800 then back down to 1300rpm, you know how good it sounds and lookshahaha, other than that turbo sh*ts on v8 for power, but I dont want to dying or kill someone racing or doing 300km, rather just burn my tires out. and v8 sounds better and more burnout friendly

mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Legacy Donating Member 1,724 Member For: 20y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 21/04/09 06:20 AM Posted 21/04/09 06:20 AM T6 is waay faster but I do find myself wanting a 5.6ltr TE50 manual. Slower maybe, but a great road presence & heaps of grunt.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I agree that the v8 feels a bit of a slug, but they apparently open up with over 10,000km on the clock, if not a blower will fix the problem.We are all mature people here and will not respond to a troll or this car is better than that.If you like the T6, then the F6 is the best choice, but the BOSS is also a great motor with 4 cams spinning at 6,000rpm is pure S E X
