But he has it set in his mind that the 315 GT-P is better than the 335, no idea why.I dont know how much power he wants from it, but im guessing he only wants to mod a little bit. So maybe an exhaust and tune

Spinning Legacy Donating Member 348 Member For: 17y 2m 23d Posted 28/01/13 09:04 PM Posted 28/01/13 09:04 PM Having sat through the process recently . It is hard to deny the instead feel behind the steering wheel behind either the GS or GT supercharged engine .. The old 5.4 was lethargic down low , yet the supercharged 5.0 , is keen and alert - delivering torque from as low as 2200rpm - right through to 5400rpm. Although the power curve is very much linear - the throttle response is near instant in the supercharged engine.Punch the start button and you have that all too familar eight sound , but give it a lttle throttle and that unmistakeable whine of the supercharger buzzes through the firefall and up your spine !!!It so hard not to like the supercharged eight - and it as poised as the 315 5.4 lt - however , does all things right from slow to substantial shove under acceleration .. If I was to have to make the decision again - 5 out of 5 times I would choose the supercharged 5.0 over the 5.4 .. - Sorry !! 1

So much potential from factory and it's an absolute gem of an engine. Head down to your dealer and get your hands on one before the last of the 'proper' FPV's are gone. 2
