walkerstreet Member 27 Member For: 17y 11m 17d Posted 21/08/07 12:51 PM Author Share Posted 21/08/07 12:51 PM I never mentioned Performance mode Thanks again guys,I'll be the first to admit I'm new to the world of cars that can go fast.The only 3 cars I've ever owned and regularly driven were extremely sluggish at best, at that's what I'm used to:1) Honda Civic 1973 1.2L 4 speed Semi-Automatic 50Kw2) Ford Laser 1992 1.6L 4speed Auto 67Kw3) Toyota Camry 1994 4 cylinder 2.2L 4speed auto 89KwNow: XR6T BF MkII, ZF 6speed auto. When I first heard the straight six growl at somewhere over 3500rpm, I thought of Scotty from Star Trek, yelling "Cap’n... she canna take any more. She’s gonna blow!".Barry,I thought if I were going flat out, I'd best have it in performance (sports) auto mode.Doesn't the car shift a little later (I.e. higher rpms) in that mode so the shift points are closer to rev limit?Or is it that someone new to an XR6T like me should be shifting a little earlier than performance auto?Cheers,Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do it exactly as you have stated. You can't blow it up from over reving it as it has a rev limiter. The redline will change with differing circumstances eg hot humid days it won't rev out as far. Just find a nice straight deserted piece of private road and let it rip. It may be advisable to have an assistant check you speedo at each gear change as the road ahead comes up mighty quick when you're giving it a bit of stick and we don't want you to lose control of the beast now do we.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a method to my madness.Are you trying to say I don't know how to drive my car fast? What was your car doing over the 1/4 mile when it was stock, hey? When you can post consistant low 13's come back and see me. lolBig AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
