R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Legacy Donating Member 3,968 Member For: 20y 9m 29d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/04/10 12:01 PM Posted 14/04/10 12:01 PM The problem with these cars is there's very strong response from throttle movement and it almost feels as though there's no difference in power from 1cm throttle all the way to wide open. But rather than spin 1st you should shift into 2nd and jam it down. Try it. Use manual mode and short shift to 2nd when 1st begins to spin; you'll chew those gooses in the R8's and GTS's every time

Pretty good tyres. What do you recommend? One the F6 winds up all hell breaks loose. I think stickier tyres would be good, yes, but wider tyres also. You just don't know how easy the mean machine chews the rubber... Off by a mile, so serious consideration required for any decent take off. Cheers.
