Mine nearly got away from me the first time I put the boot in because I wasn't ready for it but I'm getting used it to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 28/08/08 02:20 PM Share Posted 28/08/08 02:20 PM I liked it to drive, titan ford have got a white F6 in as stock, so it there for test drives wa people.to drive. the throttle is very responsive, much more then the bf's. so when you first press the peddle it feels fast. few more runs and it feels responsive down to throttle sensitivity. at low throttle you get plenty of go but not much more foot flat. still not to shabby for a stocker, there is quite a bit of bov flutter as well. seating position feels more under the dash. you feel more sat in it then on it. although I think this might be because the centre console and dash is higher rather then the seat lower. in saying that my knees where a lot closer to the dash. still don't like the raccoon thing but it here now so eh.in a quick spin around the block these are my main observations, it aint to shabby and despite my whinging in other threads that I expected more, it is a still a step up on the bf f6.

Also the crappy Dunlops don't help. Edited 28/08/08 02:24 PM by Evil F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More power the better, but I think Ford have gone too far with it.I would get one in an instant, but it must be a manual!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
