Barra and Miami vs LSA or LT4 is an apples to apples comparison, they're all running forced induction, keep in mind superchargers blow goats from an efficiently standpoint compared to turbos.
Yeh I get what you mean mate, but for a car that cost 20k more than the FGXR6T you'd expect it to at least be built better. The FG spanked it in every way except for driver position. Maybe I was expecting too much but the VE HSV compared to my VY HSV was junk.
