xr6 Member 96 Member For: 19y 9m 2d Posted 21/03/07 05:50 PM Share Posted 21/03/07 05:50 PM The standard auto is SLOW to respond. I've had a couple of moments overtaking where I've had the car in auto, planted boot, and waited while the auto wakes up and has a good think about whether I really wanted 2nd gear. Wish I had a BF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the things I loved about the car when we took it for a test drive, the kickdown at 90-100kays on the fwy.Now the car is modded, and the tranny rebuilt, whoa hold on Nelly!

F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 19y 9m 15d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 21/03/07 11:32 PM Share Posted 21/03/07 11:32 PM I agree with this dude.. Ititial kick is lack lustre with the T.NA Falcon, or even a V6 commo has a quicker 'initial response' from pedal input. They are NA, after all.Even my ute feels 'sluggish' till about 1200rpm.. This could also be attributed to the Fly by wire throttle desing also. Obviously a modified car will overcome most of these problems.. Having said that, I had a tune from a joint in the Northern suburbs which was sluggish to 4000rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
