In a perfect world if they are equally reliable then I think it would be a hard choice. BUT I believe the V8 with a cam to be more reliable than the TTV6. Unless it was factory TT.

personally would choose the cammed v8.
but next question if a ttv6 puts down 500rwhp and a cammed v8 puts down 500rwhp who wins in a race? dead even?

OP didn't really specify if it was a aftermarket TT setup or even if it was a Camaro.

Be a toss up. Guess it would depend. Maybe if it was the TT GM ran at Indy.

DarkneSS · 10-25-2013, 02:50 PM

At this point and time, V8. Maybe 5 years from now when more tuners get into the V6 world it will make more sense.

Cammed v8 this coming from a v6 guy.

Now that could be interesting

That would be incredible.

don't hate the messenger. 500+HP with a dual clutch and all wheel drive is tough to beat. even if it is a TT6

Oh no, I agree. Its just their 'drag' races that are so not real. Its like watching fast n furious in slow motion.
