How is everyone at good old XR Turbo forum?A month or so I traded the trusty old XR6T (Nov 02) on a F6..All I can say is Wow... And for a guy that's always been diehard manual, I can't believe how good the ZF 6 speed really is!

Bionic does look nice, but every body wants it and that's the only reason I got Vixen. Still don't know if I made the right choice but as my girlfriend says, SHUT THE FARK UP and stop your whining and be happy with the beautiful red.

QikSmurf Member 246 Member For: 21y 9m 9d Posted 15/12/06 12:42 AM Share Posted 15/12/06 12:42 AM Good work mate. Looks hot!I too have just come into the ZF gearbox and it really is smooth off the mark. I'm still a bit undecided at what the box is thinking at about 80-100km/hour.I just don't know if it is in the best gear from that speed. I heard it takes a while for the box to adapt to individual driving style. Over all its hard to fault the 6sp auto. Well done!I do miss the heel/toe braking of the manual.
