Cusp

As with all things... one forgets how much was paid long before one stops enjoying the bennifits of doing it right the first time.

I was gonna ask that. As long as one does not beat on it, will the super charger shorten the life of the engine. I would think it wouldn't but not sure.

sinisterbullitt

Get both

stupidgenius36

Well it depends how much he beats on it, but the same can be said about a stock engine. So in general, I'll still say it'll shorten the engine's life span.

Well i have the sixxer and will be procharging it. Ill still be paying the lower insurance premium, mog's will still be stellar, and ill be surprising the hell out just about everyone round town!

There is no prize for being a unique snowflake, yea you will have a fast v6 that will sound like a v6 and be maxed out on it's HP potential and potentially blow the engine...

OR! you can have a v8 that is already fast and sounds like a v8 and can be made much faster than your v6 would ever go.
It's this simple...

And if you say you aren't going to drive it hard, why does it matter how fast it is and why are you going to procharge it?
People with a bunch of horsepower and never driving the car hard I will never understand, might as well have left it stock.

Pinoy361

I see where your coming from but those who put up the numbers but dont drive it hard just choose to do so. Why? We may never know but it is an option. I for one am a college student paying my own way through just about everything so a v6 is all i could afford. And i DO plan on driving it hard so it wont be wasted power. And dont underestimate 6 cylinder engines man, they can get pretty nasty

2012BLKV6

GT-R anyone? haha. Also, the sixxer is 150 lbs lighter....

Pinoy361

Exactly lol
Lighter means faster, therefore v6 for the win!!

AlsCobra

Tell that to the GT that just smoked you.

fdjizm

lmao placebo effect ftw!

2012BLKV6

hahahaha. its true. but hey, we gotta defend our beloved 6's!!!

Pinoy361

Ill be the one laughing when i blast by the next gas station

2012BLKV6

I like where this is going!! (it's true tho....)

Pinoy361

Yea, oh well. Im a v8 guy at heart but i know theres alot of kick *** sixxers out there.

AlsCobra

It's nice to see some enthusiasm from the sixer owners. Unfortunately, it's been proven that in spirited driving situations, the sixer will burn more gas just trying to keep up. But you will probably do well in daily driving situations.

Pinoy361

Yea i know. Its a blessing and a curse to have the worlds first engine that makes over 300hp an 30+ mpg (:
My next car though WILL be a '13 gt500. Or maybe a 2015 gt depending on how they look

2012BLKV6

Yes!
yes, I must agree with you Al. I get great mileage on the highway or when I drive like a normal person. But when I get on it, it does get a bit thirsty. Although I average 22 with a 50/50 highway-city 20 minute commute and I open her up at least once each way (which I think is decent).

AlsCobra

I hear ya. I wish I knew my gas mileage but I can't seem to keep my foot out of it for a whole tank of gas. Pretty sure it's better than 15 but it really doesn't matter.
