    V supercharged VS 6 cylinder Twin turbo

    Well one of my other Hobbies beside Reptile's is Car's.
    So what would you prefer V8 supercharged or a 4/6 cylinder Twin turbo

    i would like the 6 cylinder Twins cause it got the boost
    but the Supercharged would just sound MAD

    Please comment

    Buy a small car... like... really small...

    Chuck in the 6 change the diff, brakes, gearbox etc , and light up the road...

    Wont get the V8 rumble, but... imagine beating a clubbie in a hyundai gets..

    With an unlimited budget, I would pick the V8 for sure.... sadly, my budget is severely limited (non existant) so I drive a stock vs (I have 3)..... if it breaks down, just buy another one

    No love for the 5 cylinders? Hahah


    I would go for the turbo 4/5/6. I dislike the weighty feel of the larger cars though. I would lean more towards a smaller weight if I were to go a 6.

    The XR6T is quicker than my car, the XR5T, but mine feels so much faster (my opinion and opinion of XR6T drivers) than the 6 because of its light weight.

    lol,had a 4 cyl diesel landcruiser,slug,needed a downhill with a tail wind to get to 100,lol,was like a tractor

    i dont see the point of twin turbos ect on the road,way overkill if u ask me,they can fly,but the power is wasted,in small cars,i drive 4wds now,have a couple with v8s,do love the sound of a good v8,plus makes a 4wd bit nicer on the road,in a straight line anyways,plus xr6 turbos ect just bounce off them,lol

    im not voting,as i prefer a naturally aspirated v8,hair driers are for girls,lol

    Unless you are actually going to use it on racetracks then it seems like a waste to me!

    My ultimate ride would be a 2007 or 2012 STI running a stroked (2.8L) highly forged Cosworth long block and a GT35R turbo set up pumping out 30 pound of boost! That would be the dream! A comfortable 650 + ponies would be easily achievable off that set up. More realistic tho I want a 50cc Scooter to get me out of trouble as my 320hp WRX is enough to attract unwanted attention!
