Stall up the auto and some good 60' times are to be had.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto.Not trying to argue it but autos have run the quickest times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer friend and I connect the gtech to it and went on the freeway. To my amazment with my and him in the car both at 100kg each we managed a 1/4 time of 13.76 @ 105mph on a gtech, I didn't get the 0-100 to busy looking at the window of how fast this thing was picking up. I am pretty impressed now and will be placing a order in for a Shockweave Typhoon. THe 13.76 was done with a crappy lauch not the best launch u could do, but the clutch is so light compared to my T, everyone just stares at the car in shockwave anyway. Then we tryed again not to bad launch but had to back of cause the car infront was coming close and we managed a 14.2 backing-off before the 1/4 finished.WIth one person in the car and a better launch there is a 13.5- 13.6 in this car for sure, just judging from the way it just pulled.Imagine in AUto form these cars will be illegal hheheh.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>are you saying it has been edited?

Once you mod them this becomes more pronounced in favor of the auto, presumably coz the auto changes quicker than a human can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 21y 6m 1d Location: Birkdale Posted 02/05/05 06:52 AM Share Posted 02/05/05 06:52 AM Auto vs manual, blah blah blah - drive what you like best, just keep in mind that all the manual blokes think of the auto blokes as being soft. that's all No respect for auto drivers, because the car is doing all the hard work to make the good numbers, not the driver.On topic - The auto F6 will arive with a very strong 6-speed, so I can't see the torque tagging being in affect to a great deal.Much like the XR8 isn't torque tagged on the new T56 hence the 13.9 it can now pull...
