I'm not against turbos in cases when they provide significant performance and/or efficiency benefits that justify their cost. In fact, family members have bought 2 turbo cars in the last year based on my recommendations.
Low 11s? Could you elaborate? 
Stock vs. modded is a pointless comparison. Anything will run anything if cost and durability are no object. Since you asked, my GT gets around 29-30 MPG on the highway consistently as long as I use ethanol-free gas. My best tank last summer broke 31.  |
No no...actually I don't dislike AFM V8s. I like V8s lol. But I like turbos too!
All I was saying is that, its the ability of the V8 to run in 4 cylinder mode that allows this type of efficiency. Whereas on the other hand, it is the turbos for the V6 that allow it to have the power of a V6, but when not in boost, will get better efficency than the V8 would with all 8 cylinders pumping.
As for this low 11s V6...it might even be good for 10s lol...but we don't know yet. 11s for sure. Its a 600+HP V6. You can read more on it
here The good info isn't until a few pages or so in though. Its forged, so he could push higher power still, but a stock engine would be good for 500+ HP.
Sorry not trying to de-rail thread.
