GKs V6s are actually pretty resilient little suckers. Only mistake he made is #4. I'd take a supercharged V6 @ 320whp over a turbocharged Beta running @ 300WHP. Superchargers are so much more easy to take care of. All of the V6s are still running stock internals @ 320whp as well for months... Only person trying that on a Beta was poor old Tim and he only ran it for a few weeks.

You are truly insane. Great, you have an engine that is 200 pounds heavier or so with 20 more HP.
OOOhhhh...
I'd rather work on the Beta, more room in the engine bay, lighter, HANDLES better in turns.
Everything.

BTW Redz, every 100 pounds is roughly equivalent to 9WHP, so they would be similar in power. smile.gif
GK handles really well... granted I've never taken it against a Beta in the twisties, but its not a lumbering ox.
Horsepower sells cars. Torque wins races. You guys just don't like the GK because your dedicated to the RDs. From a person with an open mind, the GK isn't a piece of crap. It handles well and has great torque (320WHP, 350WTQ with the RIPP Supercharger).

Holy crap man. What a dummy. Hey look oil is all over my engine. Wow, maybe I should drive it to see if it will go back inside and not blow my engine. Hey while I'm at it I'll see if I can leave it running and rev it to see WTF is goin on.
Wow, I say we settle this Delta vs Beta thingie real soon. I'm tired of hearing all this BS between two sides. We all know the GK has better brakes, but as for handling I would say we take that one.[/off topic rant]

You mean on a course stock for stock? Not really a fair comparison as the Delta would be really good... lots of low-end torque. If the cars weighed the same, put out the same power, I would give the advantage to the Beta. the GK V6 starts at an advantage because of better brakes and power.
