XR6T13s Member 13 Member For: 21y 1m 4d Posted 15/11/05 10:45 AM Share Posted 15/11/05 10:45 AM (edited) G'day all,A question for you knowledgable people on here! A mate and I are disagreeing on something. Would the 9 sec XR6T which is for sale on these forums (the white one) run easy 10 sec quarters with a just a strengthened ZF 6 Speed and diff ratio change? I dont think it would personally. With the car in exacly the same configuration as the 3speed Racing auto is at the moment.CheersXR6T13's Edited 15/11/05 10:45 AM by XR6T13s Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21323-9-sec-xr6t-with-zf-auto-how-would-it-go/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 15/11/05 10:50 AM Share Posted 15/11/05 10:50 AM I think it would.Adam has 440rwkw's, Craig runs 10's with 385rwkw's in his 4 speed auto. So I think Adam's car is more than capable.The problem at this stage is getting the ZF strengthened, it will come in time no doubt.

Might even still crack the 9's. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21323-9-sec-xr6t-with-zf-auto-how-would-it-go/#findComment-315594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is down the qtr you only use tyhe gears you need to. In fact when Craig runs his 10's in the 4 speed I believe he crosses the line in 3rd with no requirement to hit 4th. So in the 6 speed it will not matter, dependant on ratio's you may require 4th, however you will not need 5th or 6th gear.The principals in the new 6 speed will be the same as the 4. I would see 10's in the 6 speed in the the same light as the current auto.

C.S.I Member 651 Member For: 20y 5m Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 15/11/05 10:30 PM Share Posted 15/11/05 10:30 PM But if you now have 6 closer ratio gears, then the revs dont drop as much between shifts, therfore more 'geared torque' available at any given time = 'better than 4 speed' performance.

Guest xrtwpn Guests Posted 15/11/05 11:56 PM Share Posted 15/11/05 11:56 PM The more gears the more it will slow you down and changing the diff gears really isnt going to help its only going to make you run out of rev'sWith the 6 speed it would run a 10 no problem but a 9 I dont know Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21323-9-sec-xr6t-with-zf-auto-how-would-it-go/#findComment-315726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killbot Member 160 Member For: 21y 1m 13d Posted 16/11/05 03:40 AM Share Posted 16/11/05 03:40 AM Yep I would say the 6 speed would run 10's easy, just needs to be strengthened!
