WOW!! I was thinking the V6 had BALLS!! I live in Germany and here most of the modifications aren’t possible, but before I do anything I have to get one. I’m considering coming to the US and getting an V8 because they’re so much cheaper. Approximately 5K or 30k is 25.500 for what You paid. But here a V6 R costs 50K US!! That’s a 2018. V8 R costs 56K € or 66K US. Have a Broker in Philly the foot work for Me. Hopefully before September or the Virus restrictions change that I can get something inexpensive and good. Thanks for the information. You’ve opened my eyes to the other side of the V6.

Awesome project Sal, quick question on the TCU tune, redline is raised to 7500 but if i look closely at your latest quartermile Dragy video, it shifts at around 6800 correct?

[@Sals_Garage]

Thank you for the comment! That is correct. In S mode the shifts max out at around 6800 instead of the stock TCU shifting at around 6400 RPM. The F-Type gains max HP at high RPM so the more you can ride the powerband the better your results. If you manually shift with the paddles, you can rev all the way to 7500 rpm, but I had best results with the car shifting itself in S mode when engaging launch control.

I just bought a ‘17 V8 F type R…. It’s hard for a woman to find competent trust worthy people to work on it. I love cars but don’t do my own work. So even though it’s $$ I got a couple really good warranties and I take it to the dealer. I love driving awesome cars and I just can’t say enough good things about the driving experience and instant power this car has. It’s a comfortable drive as well.

[@Sals_Garage]

Totally agree. The F Type is a wonderful driving experience. If you’re not a DIY person, I would definitely stick with the warranty since it’s not an easy or cheap car to work on.

[@mikepaul396]

do you recommend the v6 motor over the v8, seems the v8 is over kill/too much power. my gut and maybe yourself wanted just more out of the v6 to keep is a nimble more balance car? i did read that the v6 motor design had some flaw. since its just 2 cyclinders chopped. maybe this bogus about v6. any of your thoughts appreciated. thanks mike

[@Sals_Garage]

I like the V6 exhaust sound more. To me it sounds higher pitched and exotic vs the V8 which sounds similar to an American muscle car. With all the mods I did, it felt just as quick as a stock F type R. Obviously tuning the V8 will yield significantly higher performance, but we don't race or track the car so it would be too much for the streets. Good luck.

[@mikepaul396]

Thank you agreed. So you think there are no flaws with v6 motor reliability wise? and maybe info I saw was bogus. At 70k on your car, it’s sounds ivery strong and healthy. Thanks much for your time and great content

Thanks! Yea I’m in Fremont. The crank pulley will not affect your ability to pass smog.
