and for 43 thousand - can you buy a brand new skyline or supra ?? THEN try and get insurance for them without having to see " just cars " THEN try and source local parts that dont cost you an arm or a leg .
I dont think even supra or skyline have the stock power levels over the barra 6 - Displacement does help here i guess
Im waiting for the first "aftermarket " tuned xr6 turbo to be publicised .. theres 300kw in that motor easy with the right gear - just how far beyond do they go
the bottom end on that dinosaur is bloody hard to kill - the body in a falcon will be rotted away a long time before the inline 6 dies ..
Torque is the key here - those Ba's are way undertuned - mainly cause higher boost saw the 6 spanking the pants out of the new fancy 8 fords bringing out ( i think 6.5 pounds of boost is the quoted figure they run )
Some people need to pull their heads in a little and give ford a bit of credit for making the "barra" 6's . For a local car - they are the best out there at the moment - and before anyone says ooh camry or ooh magna - look at the figures - magnas suck so hard they should rebadge them " hoover " and until toyota wakes up and puts a motor thats not asleep in a camry - and beefs up the looks - they will always take second fiddle to commodores and falcons , especially with GMH thinking of that HV6 donk coming out here in the next commodore - It has the power to go toe to toe with the barra so ive read
