Just wondering if this dude is dreaming??←I've never understood why jokers like that brag about that sort of thing eg: "I pulled 400 m/s out of 1st man", or the obligatory "what do ya pull out of first with this thing".How it is a mark of performance I'll never understand, as its got buckley's to do with your engine.If I had a 5 or 6 speed box that did 100 km/h in first it'd be a) custom made and expensiveb) stupidly impracticalc) gheyPlus, imagine the 4 hours of fun while you're trying to get to 100 (just like launching in 3rd or 4th I'd imagine).Furthermore, while the bloke with the hectik 100km/h in 1st car is revving its tits off getting there, everyone else has long ago shifted at least once, and is calmly (and not necessarily slowly) moving off into the distance (forwards that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myblueprintxr6t Member 20 Member For: 18y 11m 11d Location: Perth Posted 25/02/07 07:22 AM Share Posted 25/02/07 07:22 AM I gave the new HSV 307 gts a run from a few sets of lights in perth a few weeks ago in my 03 ba t auto. I've got a basic HPF custom tune, cai and center muffler removed and found that if I could control the shift from 1st to 2nd without drifting two lanes sideways it was not even close between us. The beauty of the t with any decent custom tune is the effortless surge and adrenlin between 2500-5500rpm. I believe the xr6t as a package represents the best bang for buck on the market.
