    Much of a muchness....

    The difference is how easy and cheap it would be to have the SC 6 blowing the VY away

    The VT mate, stock they run like a 7.2, 0-100, and the VY manual run about a 8.5, with the paccy's you might run a 8 flat or low 8

    as said before... stock for stock the super6 will go faster.

    To get a VY 5speed beating a vt6 ur lookin at pretty much all the bolt-ons i have on my vx 5spd.

    That said, if u put an equal amount into a super6 and a VY 5spd the super six would be uncatchable.... unless it had no tyres or something! lol

    If ur after the quicker and more potential in bang for buck power, the super6.

    But, although i love power and had the option of a super6 VX and a 5spd VX i prefer the feel and shift control from a maunal box... though this is a personal taste and each to their own

    10rwhp= 7.456999rwkw so it's probably not enough to make a difference. The VY would be nice to drive but put a smaller pulley on the VT and the balance will shift
