His Jelly bean Jar is still overflowing and don’t look like diminishing so his testosterone is high and he gets a bit fired up and cheeky..He needs to get a good grip of himself and let that relief valve off ←:banghead:← Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24957-98-of-bf-turbos-auto/page/12/#findComment-453989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 25/10/06 12:40 AM Share Posted 25/10/06 12:40 AM (edited) I think you will find that the F1 gearbox is more Auto than manual. Ferrari is also moving to a semi Auto flappy paddle shifter. Now the purists will say they are using a clutch, but my F6 ZF also has a clutch on the torque converter. Auto's are taking over the world as they are a better all round box.Be it F1, Rally or road cars, Auto's are more dominant and FASTER than their manual brothers.Now for the learned forum members that "think" an auto driver cannot drive, what about people who can drive manuals, but have chosen an auto ?They must be super drivers, because they have the skill to drive a manual, but the intelligence to buy an auto Edited 25/10/06 12:41 AM by ZAP_F6 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24957-98-of-bf-turbos-auto/page/12/#findComment-453996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mildman Member 149 Member For: 19y 6m 8d Posted 25/10/06 10:50 AM Share Posted 25/10/06 10:50 AM I agree, if you just want to go drag racing, get an auto. I don't care how good an auto box might be, it's never going to be as good around a track ( yes I do track work aswell ) and as a daily driver, ←I see where you a coming from, and my circuit car also has a manual box (only a 5 spd) but that's the car I drive for fun.For the daily driver the auto works out better, but only because it's the ZF auto - I never previously owned and auto car as until now the gap between auto and manual has been huge!Man you've got guts using an FPV as a circuit car....well money I guess not guts....still I could never quite do it.My circuit car cost around $3000, it's as fast as a Ford around the track, and cheaper to fix when/if I crash it....got a roll cage too so I don't die when it rolls over....YAY!
