FORD XR6 TURBO the car was only three days old and stock. 180 is how many klms the car had traveled, not speed, still running in.

Esky did, with consistant 5.9s and 13.9 in his manual turbo.

Any autos out there??

Not that I'm sure how this effects the time (if at all), however is Esky's car a UTE?

Regardless, I bloody good time and would suggust he's experienced at a 400m dash.

As for Auto or Manual, it looks like you just can't loose either way.

Nope mine is a sedan.

When racing my rotary, Pacman gave me the hint about bouncing the throttle at launch to get the turbo spooling. Difficult to explain, but the boost gauge doesn’t lie.

It helps if you bounce the throttle and feather the clutch a little. Otherwise you get to much wheel spin.

I’ve found the XR6T is a temperament thing. A little heat and your stuffed. On a nice cool night, she drives like a dream.

In the latest issue of Zoom martin has some interesting comments on the XR6T driving characteristics during full throttle gear shifts. Could explain peoples perceptions that the auto is quicker over the 1/4.

Which zoom, what does it say, is it worth buying the mag.

Or could you tell us what it says.

For anyone interested. High performance imports magazine did a comparison on the xr6t and the twin turbo supra. The xr6t has 189kw at the wheels 9 more than the supra. Although the supra won this comparo due to less weight and a better turbo setup, I think it should answer at least half of the original question.

weird comparison, these two cars fall into completely different catergories

I would just like to say that a friens of mine has officially imported an ecu from I think (belgium) doont quote me on this and has cracked the ecu code....

his car has been boosted and has installed a booost controller with a front mount intercooler. im not sure I only spoke to him while we were passing I think he said 10psi.
