Now, I know the v6's are lighter and might need a little less hp to go as fast. I am consistantly seeing these tt v6's running 10's all day long on stock everything. how much hp can these things handle? __________________ 302 h/c/i

Turbo V8 > Turbo V6

Single turbo GT's are sick

Turbo V10>Turbo V8 (for that matter)

Turbo Vipers would be the sickest. But the question was pertaining to the V6. :wink
