I just hope that all the F6 owners are happy with the fix and they remain ahppy for the rest of their F6 ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you mod them this becomes more pronounced in favor of the auto, presumably coz the auto changes quicker than a human can.Yeah, I guess once they are modified, everyone quotes their RWKW which would allow for the Auto Trans losses....2 Modified T's with the same flywheel KW would probably tell a different story...

ShaneNow, now.... anyone can get in a car and plant their right foot....Takes a little more co-ordination to use the left and right feet at the same time and make the left hand move in unison with your feet.So lets see how fast an auto boy can get a manual T down the quarter....Better still, lets see him heel-toe it into a corner....

Here’s a little challenge for a manual boy – try and match the ET down the quarter in a manual that an auto can do with the same rwkw. It’s simple really, I can’t see anyone changing manual gears as fast and efficient as an auto will do it for you; get over it.You can’t beat a manual for handling when going through the twisty bits, but for day to day driving and straight line performance you’d have to have rocks in your head to think that just because you have a gear stick you’re the superior one!Now come and give me a hug.Trent.
