Why is it another kettle of fish ? Wouldn't worry me in my old 220 or my current old AU ?
You BAF lovers are vewy funny sensitive ppl because it should be the latest and greatest :Reverend:Oh god did I say that :

If we are going to compare apples with apples lets compare the BOSS motor and the Windsor and the BA182/190 and the INTECH motors.

Did I hear you say latest and greatest? Because you would be right.

I explained exactly why it's different, why ask me again ? The BA & BF have completely different transmissions, and have slightly different internals, different power levels and different torque levels, upgraded traction control which feeds the power better. There is also weight differential. Not sure why i'm having to repeat that..

Secondly you may wish to read the part where i typed "Either way the 220 still wins" so why you're stating that you wouldn't be worried i don't know..

Thirdly the original post was comparing an AU 220 to a Ba, not a BF.

Clear now ? :

lol. I love the 6. We are lucky to have the vct casper, We both know they hammer pretty damned hard but you do have to admit, the sound of a v8 craps all over the sound of a 6, even if it doesnt go as well

Your AU 220 against a BOSS 260
Your AU 250 Against a BOSS 290

No sarcasm at all , that would be an interesting comparison.
