At Almost Sixty Grand...

[DeltaV]

Can anybody here answer a question for me? Straight six, with TWIN turbos? Sequential, for more boost and throttle response..... or something else?

Each turbo is feeding three cylinders.

No need to stuff all that crap under the hood to COMPENSATE for the lack of V8 power. Not in my driveway.

To each their own...

I'm sure the Hurricane is a great engine, for a straight 6 w/twin turbos
just not my engine of choice

& there's plenty of v6 turbo'd GN/GNX modified & running into the 9's & 10's
I know of several personally
Hell Buddy Ingersol (P/S & T/S before Pro-Mod)) ran low 7s with a Turbo'd Buick Regal
2650#s, v6 4.ltr (beefed up aftermarket GM Perf. block, & trick heads)
their blocks were the weak point stock form,
more power you can make N/A more power it will make boosted

look at the Ford GT & Raptor, Eco-Boost v6s gas engines, no slouches

I'm not a Toyota hater either, it's just not the only one
& it's a totally different animal

I'm not a total AWD hater either, just not in a Charger
just like the straight 6, just not in a Charger
different stroke for different folks, there's no wrong answers, just wrong people

IMHFO in a Charger it needs a v8, Jesus Chrysler

How about a Petty Blue AWD V-8 BMW M3?

I had a Bonneville SSEi and a Buick GS with the supercharged 3.8 V6. 240 hp and nothing you could do to make any more HP. They were quick cars, but they fail in comparison to an inline straight 6 with turbos. I don’t think I would call the V6 3.8 smoking fast. Hell my 87 Ford Mustang GT was faster. If you are familiar with the 90’s era Toyota Supra’s then you know what I am talking about. Try to buy one now, good luck. They are still king of the track today. Inline 6 twin turbos, equals bullet proof blocks and tons of HP.

yep 3800 engine is a dog

Didn’t say it was a dog, just not much you can do to it without costing more money than worth the gain. Like trying to beef up a 318.

I would like it better if it was green.

still better priced then the new $110, 000 harley bagger…

I bet it still leaks oil.

Way to go, Harley!
A thousand pound bagger for a racer. F-ing brilliant. And a hundred dollars a pound. (Houses are cheaper than that in Arizona.)

Friend of mine had problems with the air bags in his ram icing up, traded it for another without, now his manifold bolts cracked, he wants the turbo 6. I was floored. He builds custom engines for a living, built a rat rod truck with a 331, has a 89 Dakota with a 408. But he has trouble doing simple stuff on vehicles. I told him there's probably no dipstick, but he shrugged it off. I'm looking for a W200/300 or D250 to replace my Cummins. I like the Cummins but don't need it as much anymore. Want something simple. These turbo engines are complicated these days. No way I'd buy something I couldn't work on. He likes new with a warranty, but if you're always working on engines why do it when you're not being paid I guess.

And there'll still be dumbasses who buy them.

Harley should have kept Buell.

Geoff was a hell of a nice guy, great racer, and won WSBK on the 1125.

Then, the dumbasses at HD pulled the plug, because it wasn't their "core image"

The 1125R was an $11,995 bike. Put on a race exhaust, change the ECM programming, and put a chain drive on it for easy ratio swaps, and go win races for under $15k. I still have mine:

390 lbs wet (fuel, oil, coolant). My bike dynoed 164 HP at the rear wheel...BONE STOCK. 9 sec quarters out of the box. Unreal fun. And, it has more than 3° lean angle - I had a road king years ago and had to buy new floorboards every year because I just ground them off in turns. The chassis flexed, the bike wobbled, the brakes sucked...never again.

These are my "baggers" now:

1998 Buell S3T Defender, #2 of 13 police bike prototypes. 101hp, 425 lbs wet:

2006 Buell Ulysses, 103hp stock, but I have a copy of Erik Buell's personal ECM map so closer to 110hp now, 425lbs with bags on:

1996 Buell S2T, one of the best chassis I've ever ridden. Absolutely psychic. Think it...and the bike does it. Amazing. Hand-built (years ago I met "the guy" who hand welded the frames), stock it's only about 80hp but damn it's a great ride. Torque monster - it's like riding a diesel. Once it's going...just leave it in third and eat some twisties. I have a 115hp motor for it that I built years ago but it's just so damn satisfying the way it is....

I'll hop on a track with any of these, against one of those CVOs, any day. They might get me in the straights (well...not the 1125...) but I'll eat em alive in the turns.

On bikes that are nearly 30 years old.

Not turbo but you get the point.

I believe they are parallel turbochargers, each feeding three cylinders.

Post #21 and lots of good info by following the link.

 

[OneWheelPeel]

I’m interested in the car but not at that money, I’ll see what the used market is like a couple of years from now.

 

[71RRHI]

60k will buy you a very nice 66-72 B body.
