Hey all

Just wanted to get some idea of how fast the XR6T if you 'ease' it off the line as opposed to a full launch.

I know stock 0-100km time is around 5.9, but I imagine you would loose a fair bit of time just easing it of line and then nailing it.

Had a run in with a mazda3 mps with an exhaust last night, and wasn't pulling away as much as I would like - my car has an aps phase II. I eased it off the line, but I heard his revs where reasonably high.

With heavy cars it's always going to be an issue. Stalling up is your friend, even if it's 1500 rpm to get you closer to your power range and not wheelspin too much off the line. You might also need to vary your throttle input - full throttle usually overpowers the tyres so try a little less until you're moving.

I found that 1500 stall and 3/4 throttle still pulled away from a 911. But I guess over 300rwkw helps. Of course this was at a private set of traffic lights on my mate's farm....

Of course being a sensible driver, I don't condone speeding!

My other car is a highly modified starlet with 171kw at the front wheels so I am careful with throttle.

My car is a 6 speed manual not an auto, and I am assuming your reference to 'stall' is for an auto? If not my apologies.

Well done on pulling away from a 911! and I am sure that 300kw at the wheels does help :P

You might be suprised at the power to weight ratio of the Mazda 3 MPS.
