Guest IMTRBO Guests Posted 30/07/03 09:44 AM Share Posted 30/07/03 09:44 AM Well For all you ladies out there that drive an auto with that mock up SSS shifter you can keep it. that is if it does not snap off like what happened to some guy on the forum....Lets just cast our mind back to the melb dyno day with auto's averaging 180-190 rwkw and manuals ranging from 200-210 RWKW there seems to be a 20rwkw difference.Secondly if you actually know how to take off in a manual you might find not having boost at the start will actually benift you more because you will not have as much wheel spin and the turbo will kick in at 2.5 which is perfect...Thirdy If you can race change a manual you would never ever drive an auto. I test drove the auto and sorry but I was verry disapointed the car is in control and I hate that ..... But if any of you ladies wanna have a manual v auto race bring it on!!

ONDOLE Member 70 Member For: 22y 4m 26d Posted 30/07/03 10:33 AM Share Posted 30/07/03 10:33 AM Dont forget that the manual has to grab for third just before the 100 mark where the auto surpases that in second with ease. One more shift for the manual means slower time. And yes I have dragged a manual and yes my auto was quicker. Sorry stick boys ya cars only faster where the speed limit ends. (awaits the scorn from the manual chaps)Have to grab for third before a hundred is up ??? I think not buddy...I get to about 105 in 2nd gear...nice bit of misinformation there....Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5118-which-is-quicker-0-100kmh/page/2/#findComment-39818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems with the engine as there is a rev limiter to stop me from revving too high. :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5118-which-is-quicker-0-100kmh/page/2/#findComment-39859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
