Ok, gonna add my 20cents worth.
Whats the ecoboost Turbo 4 cylinder like with 600kg in-tow like? Granted all these tests are done with one driver with empty cars, but really, there "is" a huge difference between empty and loaded. Particularly, when the Holden SIDI came out touting "Oh drive to Sydney on one Fuel Tank". But wait, that was done with 1 driver, empty. We need to put some weight in these cars then come back with results, then we can compare apples with apples on performance. (no point touting that a 4cyl turbo can do stuff empty, but put a load on it and it can't do a thing). More to the point, I go to Bathurst races with a fully loaded car, will it get me there, through all those hills, or is it going to struggle? |
