Shorter gears, direct drive, and more HP at the treads. Quote Trent.Proud Owner of an Emasculated 4 Speed Automatic(That would still whip a comparable manual driver's insecure ass any day)Not with the comparable difference our bathroom scales reveal, the weight difference would offset any gains! I'm a jocky by comparison! Power-to-weight!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ouch....that hurts Al - notice I said comparible! I've got those talking bathroom scales; it usually says "one at a time please" whenever I use them though.How about that typhoon clutch fix hey?Trent.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sorry doode, I should have said built for comfort not for speed.

Quote I disagree with the comment above about manuals quicker on the move im yet to see any manual T come ever close to my car at all on the move or not no matter how good a driver you think you are you will never be able to stop the car from losing boost in a gear change sorry its a little of thread back to the F6 bucket Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17330-test-drove-typhoon-with-clutch-fix-1376/page/9/#findComment-250791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for that result! Crisso will be most unimpressed...! OK, he loves his new VZ Clubby (I've had a drive and can't say that I didn't like it!) but it'd still be great if the Typhoon pulled a faster 1/4 mile!

Keep this on topic or don't post. Next post about auto vs manual will see this one shut down ...If you want to revive one of the 1001 threads on auto vs manual do a search and post it there.
