Well after filling up yesterday, heading towards a set of lights that joins the motorway and 110km zone, noticed a vl approaching quicky from behind and new he was trying to line me up when he moved into the lane next to me so the lights changed just before we reached a stop and we both nailed it, he got the jump on me by half a car and before we I hit second I managed to hit the rev limiter which slowed me even more giving him a couple of car lengths now. So now I am gaining momentum again and start pulling him in but only slightly, at the rate I was gaining would have pulled about level by the end of third but caution prevailed and I back off as well as he did.. So was a good run and willing to accept a good defeat at the hands of a pretty quick vlt and a bit of poor driving on my part as I still getting used to the sequential shift.. Pretty sure I saw a front mount cooler so it had some work done.

Whats the rev limiter on the xr6t ? Cant wait to get my mods completed now though

Well done Chop-chop,

I have found she runs to about 5500 rpm with max torque, then drops of a bit from there. Next time, with a 1800-2000rpm launch and quicker changes, you'll smas h em!

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I have just bought my first auto car and somebody told me to stall up the revs witht the auto! wont this cause a heap of damage to the trans?

This Seems plain Stupid to me! surely the gearbox will chew a few synchros in this process or something!

Sorry for the Stupid Post!

Just push it to the left, foot on brake whilst dialling up 1800-2100rpm and then hold on when the lights go green . Plenty of threads on this topic FYI

Best way to avoid hitting the limiter is leave it in auto mode.

Geea.

I know mine aint a T guys but, I've stalled it up to the point where its pushin the car forwards with no wheelspin, and doesn't actually feel any faster?

Uh DUH, no Turbo to boost up, right!!!

Well done chopper, hope you nail him if you get another chance!!
