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. |

How do a 200hp 6 and a 200hp 4 drive compared to eachother. FYI, VERY VERY VERY (did I say VERY) few people here have any REAL experience in a 200 hp Type IV. 200 hp Type IVs have only come on the market recently (street motors, non-race motors) and so there isn't a lot of experience out there to tap into. As far as my opinion on all this, there isn't a better engine. You need to pick what direction you want to go and get the engine that fits it. And these arguments that you can get six cylinder throw away motors for cheap is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) and $15k+ for 200 hp Type IV is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif). That's the problem with this question, you get lots of people trying to justify their (usually) biggest expense on the car, so they throw out unbiased information to tip the scales in their favor. Not intentionally or maliciously, of course, but it still happens. Is it getting hot in here? |
