Uria.... superchargers give the car quicker axcelleration from standing start than turbos.... have a look here... http://www.v6supercharged.com.au/

A turbo can match a supercharger off the line, given the revs of the car are raised for a sufficient amount of time beforehand, to give the turbines sufficient flow and time to wind up.

I might go a 6, they are pretty damn cheap. Although I do love the grunt of the 8.

I tried an VT II SS tonight which was an auto, and boy it was shocking. I'd have to rip that gearbox out straight away, it seemed to kick in too early, even when in "power mode" and was really clunky. Is this all of the auto's or just a problem with some, that might be thrashed? Or low on trans fluid or something?

i was considering a V6 but then i test drove a V8 and thought yes this what i want

Have you considered modifying a 5.0L VT?

 

[uriah]

Not really, I thought they weren't that good. Should I be considering a 5.0L?

 

[Shounak]

No.. GenIII is a much better investment..

IMO go for v8 cubes or a S/C six.

I've sort of resolved to get a LS1 manual, hopefully something really basic with a fair few miles for cheap like 10k and then rebuild the motor and get some parts forged, then a gearbox which can take some punishment, then look for a twin turbo setup and such.
