"Just curios as to how a super6 is better than an 8"

Im not saying better either, but with some small work done they can certainly hold their own against them. ;)

"although, even the l67 is getting expensive to modify"
Yeh, it's all fine and dandy till you see the price of intercooling, or worse yet, whippling ;)


Is there many 300+rwkw super6 commodores around? I don't follow that side of it much so just curious.

Sticking with the m90, nope, none that I know of that exceed 300rwkw, but there are some that come close. A member on a differant forum (L67Torque) ran against a 6ltr the other day, recorded a victory for the sc boys. :)

I want to get the XU6 on the dyno after it's had the service it's been dying for. I'm curious as to what it would get. I think it's got a few extras from stock though.

I'd have to agree with JD there, ya can't beat the sound of a V8! :D Altho I only have 6's, but when I find a cheap 253, 308 I'll get it to put in our VH convertible.

hey i own a charged commodore 6 are sick to death of stupid no brain derro tossers who talk down the 6 and say " y dont u put a 5L in it " its rely doing my head in does any one agree

Why be bothered by it?
As long as your happy with your car then that's all that matters.
Don't get dragged into the "c'mon lets have a drag and prove it" crap.
For the record i'd go: 1. LS1 2. 304 3. super 6 but that's just me.;)

I just get sick of wankers, who always have something to prove, no matter how many cylinders their car has.

Who cares if you have 4, 6, 8 cylinders etc there will always be someone faster.

In saying that though alot of these morons, with Skylines, Silvias etc need to pull the stick out of their ass, and realise that their fulli sik GTS-T wont beat every SS, with exhaust around. It is possible to force feed a V8 too.

I love V8s, but alot of 4s and 6s deserve respect, but that doesn't mean V8s are completely eclipsed by them.
