How do a 200hp 6 and a 200hp 4 drive compared to eachother. I know there are several ways to get 200hp out or either. I am interested in a daily driver 200hp 6 or 4. Does anybody have any dyno charts of these? Is the 6 more peaky? is the 4 more torquE? Type IV and Porsche 6 please.
I am not trying to start a flame war. I am just looking for information cause I found an empty spot in my brain, and I need to fill it before something else goes in there. |

I am not trying to start a flame war simple. if you have a /4 and you put a /6 in it, you WILL die! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) IMHO, the main difference is in the location of the powerband, a /4 with similar HP output will be more responsive on a tight AX course, a /6 with similar HP output will outrun a /4 on the big track. for the street, it ain't matter much. i drove my 1.8/1.7 /4 for years and didn't feel like i was missing out on anything. a big /6 is fun to drive. so is a big /4. meaning, this debate is kind of useless. dyno charts alone don't make for a enjoyable drive around the twisty backroads, never paid much attention to them ...
