What would you rather be driving....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Bogan boy, THREAD IS ABOUT ¼ MILE TIMES AND that's WHAT I POSTED ABOUT YOU IGNORANT BOGAN. People like you are so stupid it is funny. You reference a GT-R with a 200B? Please, think before you type. You look totally stupid when you say dumb crap like that. Since you want to talk about a long drive, start a thread about it. This was a thread about a manual XR6T running 11's stop going such off topic and try be a normal person for once.

YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 21y 11m 18d Location: Birkdale Posted 06/04/05 09:37 PM Share Posted 06/04/05 09:37 PM This thread reminds me of my mate of FF.com who keeps boasting about how he ran a 14.5 in his EB XR6 with diff gear and cams. I have only run a 14.7 in my ute and he keeps boast, 14.5 from a $9000 EB!! ANd you got a 14.7 from a $40,000 BA!!The thing is, what would you really have? I don't have much of an answer to him, but since I don't drive to work/Girlfriends/go on holidays via willow bank dragway every day, but I can still pull mid 14s in an otherwise stock Falcon, who's the real winner here? Besides, on the freeway, the bull sh*t stops when I toast his arse!! LOL!

And it could do all that without diff clunk, driveline backlash, sssh shhh rear brakes and so forth while driving Melbourne to Sydney heh.

Posted 07/04/05 12:21 AM Share Posted 07/04/05 12:21 AM No comment I'm assuming you haven't sat in many GTR's then....The ride is rough as, they don't like hard edges in our Aussie roads and sometimes you can even catch the front end wanting to tramline with groves....I would never drive one accross australia, especially since I'm 6"4 @ near 100kg, you trying fitting me into the back of one for extended periods of time.... Just ain't gonna happen!T > GTR for comfort, anyday, everyday.

And I've sat in many thanks. The ride quality can be compromised as easily as it can be corrected depending on setup and associated hardware. I bet you could screw up the ride comfort of an XR6-T very easily.In any case, the original post was pretty much answered in the 4th post Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16805-why-cant-a-manual-t/page/2/#findComment-240020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixfan Flaccid Member Donating Members 2,503 Member For: 22y 16d Gender: Male Location: NOONAMAH, go figure..... Posted 07/04/05 01:29 AM Share Posted 07/04/05 01:29 AM WTF??If cheap 1/4 mile times really matter, buy an LA lancer, gas axe out everything except the front seat and fit a jap import turbo engine. Doable for ~$7000If comfort matters above all else get a Bently or rolls royce.If Number of people you can carry is so importaint get a Leyland bus.If you want a car that's a reasonable compromise on all these, get a T, but realize, it's a compromise.The reason I drive a T is because I like it.
