readisland Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I am hoping that people can enlighten me with the true difference between the 2008-2009 H6 and the 4? I know that H6 doesn't really have any mods that can be done but I am curious as to your experiences with these two different motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Tank Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 You can only get the 3.0r with an automatic. You can get the GT in a 5mt or 6mt (spec b.) and there are many options for mods. I chose the GT because those are the things that are important to me. If you want an auto and don't plan on modifying then maybe the H6 would make sense for you. It's all about personal preference.

biz77 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The true difference is pretty obvious... one is a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder, 3-liter motor and the other is a turbocharged 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder motor. You need to go test drive both to see which is the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriverX Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I would think that long term, the 6 would be more reliable because there is zero chance of turbo failure. It would appear that as you close in on 100,000+ miles on the 4, that turbo replacement would be of concern. But that does give a chance for upgrades... I would agree with the previous poster, drive both and see which one you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasaraki Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 BTW, they offer the 5EAT on the 2.5GT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I always did wonder what the 1/4 times were for a auto turbo vs an auto h6, it seemed like their power ratings were pretty close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy3R Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 When I was shopping for my car, I had all the choices narrowed down to the GT or the 3.0. I chose the 3.0 and I dont regret it. I love the way my car drives, nice and smoothe acceleration, it never lets me down. I guess the benefit to not owning the turbo is that I will not be tempted to spend money on modifications.
