cant be because my BA MKII 6 speed manual does the same thing...

how much you pay for it?

in this case - A picture DOES tell a thousand words.... great post.

agreed, development costs and manufacturing costs outweigh the return. Ford AUS was lucky to get an I6 Turbo into Barra in the first place, let alone complicating it even further.

geez that seems so cheap?

and velocity.

That is absolutely fantastic. It's really good to see the effort put into petrol engines FINALLY getting into LPG cars. You should try and take it on a DYNO back to back with a stock petrol, see how it compares. So does it run DUEL fuel then? I'd be more interesting to see a dedicated LPG turbo.....

I tell ya what, half the sh*t heap 20+ year old cars out there wouldn't pass any tests. Hope you get is sorted.

The two "other" 6 pot sedans - read Mitsu 380 & Toyota AUrion - are slated to get supercharged versions next year. Exciting times ahead for 6 pot performance. Personally, people are wondering how the 200kw aurion handles itself with FWD, let along a torque thumping supercharged version. All I can hear is "computer limited torque for gears 1 & 2" ala Mazda 3 MPS. Without AWD, I wouldn't choose one of these. Its a pity cause the 380 concept looked understated yet aggressive. I think due to the sales success of the Turbo, Falcon has this segment licked. The bean counters will be happy to fund development on the '08 Falcon turbo Late model camira will be the only make without a performance 6 pot, unless it finds a home for the HFV6 Twin Turbo in commodore!

No, these cars, when compared to falcon/comodore of SIMLIAR specification are exactly the same price, problem is you have to buy them in their home countries - or wherever tax's laws favour them..... BMW and Mercs are used as taxies. So are SAABs and Volvos. Whats even more scary is how much better they are for, realistically, the same price

Hey ive got the same problem. Mine are 17" std dunlops, does it for about 1km - but only when I've left it for a day sitting there.

Can't make everybody happy! First negative review I've read on the TT.

Exactly. The BA 6T are completely reliant on the computer to control just about everything. Absolutely no benefit of an engine based mods until and edit is made IMO, which is further supported by the fact the edit alone does so much.

Yeh ive been using it for at least a month or so now - cant tell the difference at all.... mind you there is WAY less soot on the rear exhaust pipe.
