    The differences would be barely noticeable when comparing both engines, its got a cast iron block which doesnt help the weight but it does have an alloy head. Something Blue Supra hasnt included in those figures though is where the torque is produced, for the XR6T engine its between 2000 and 4500rpm and for the F6 Typhoon its between 2000 and 4250rpm.

    Guys... How about a Lexus V8? Affordable, powerful, robust, reliable, and easily tunable. My neighbours got one in his Countach Replica with twin extractors...sounds absolutely beautiful and f**kin fast aswell!

    personally i think it would be cool if it was quiet, tool around town you can bear the motor but its not intrusive, then you open her up and she roars. or how about a driver controlled valve to open up a dump pipe right after the headers or close to go thru the mufflers and emissions equipment. so you can take her ot a track open her up then driver it home without a obnoxious lope. would work even better if it were a turbo car as the exhaust wouldnt be so loud and the dump pipe would aid in turbo spool up, and the turbo would provide some muffling to the exhaust. just a thought

    For noise, lets ensure we meet ALL emissions by keeping it quiet and most efficient.

    Then we'll steal from Lotuas nearly 20 years ago and put in an active sound system.
    Flick of a switch and the computer produces the right sound for the throttle position, engine revs, load and 'demeanour'. We can then give different switch positions to keep the revvers and the grunters happy 100%. Option to include EXTERNAL speakers to give the right sounds for posing - coz that's all sound outside is for anyway

    We can even add "truck" position on the switch for all the Viper customers

    well thats something that i like about the different APS and Nizpro kits on the XR6T motor, theyre all designed with driveability still in mind plus still comply to out emissions and noise laws here

    an LS2 is already 6 liters thus not needing to be stroked, it is more expensive than the tried and true LS1, and an LS1 or LS2 can make 400rwhp VERY easily without the need for an expensive turbo setup, simple bolt on sill get you to 400hp without a doubt

    and a 1.5 liter V16? wtf?

    The GTS came 400HP in LS1, I'm Talking 400RWHP It's a bit hard to get that with just bolt on I think a LS1 could get 350KW with bolt ons but thats it.
    But the turbo system that was made by APS is a real Flyer I don't have the price but in a VY ute it done 9.81sec 1/4 on it's second run And on the fuel econemy side it was bloody supprisingly good. It was only the LS1. And i got it wrong, It's 472kw @ the wheels Here's a pic of the dash

    400rwhp is nothing Slick, it wouldnt be a problem. Someone's already achieved that with the BOSS and thats got barely anything left in it NA, just new cams, Unichip, helix spacer, 80mm throttle body, underdrive pullies, extractors etc and 300rwkw

    seems like the engine crew want the LS1 and nothing we say, or prove, will change that FPV...

    But it seems like the majority of people want the radical V8...
