There is one interesting reflection in this thread. The level of acceptance and praise for the I6T.
4 years ago everyone bagged it and the Turbo vs V8 thing was rife but looking through here and seeing some of the players that were around in those days, it's in interesting reflection on the comments now placed here.
I for one am with Tex, that motor in a Muzzy would be a weapon, let FPV have the Muzzy and Falcon variants with the F6 motor and watch it fly. With confidence Nice thought and arguably crystal ball stuff but a sweet thought none the less.
Long live the I6/T and may it's boosted bliss path it's way to U.S. mainstream.
I believe the engine can easily surpass M3 / E63 levels of performance. Recent motor comments indicate it has the driveline, just not the chassis. To compare a 65k F6 with 150k prize Euros is legendary in itself.
Best engine in Aus would have to be I6/T, no other motor will do 1 million kms effortlessly without having the rocker cover off. No other motor unopned with bolt ons will crack 10s and no other motor would ever push such envelopes and boundaries when pegged against conventional performance.
I fail to see any other engine that would reduce grown men to tears of joy.
