Guest Guests Posted 04/11/08 05:12 AM Share Posted 04/11/08 05:12 AM You wont look back after driving with the zf. I came from a 6 speed manual into a new BF Phoon & the drive is awesome! Not sure what the differences are with the Rspec sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 04/11/08 06:26 AM Share Posted 04/11/08 06:26 AM They dont fetch $10k over a normal F6 in the used car market though do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 04/11/08 06:47 AM Share Posted 04/11/08 06:47 AM It was only a $1500 option for the RSpec and you got leather (RRP $2370), iPod plugin (RRP $150?), a build of only 300 (good for resale), floor mats (RRP $270) and that stupid suspension bullsh*t, but you'd be stupid not to buy one over a normal phoon.If I were buying one again, I'd get the 6 pots on the front. If you want to go fast in a straight line, get a ZF, if you want to do circuit racing, get a T56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZFs are in anything from boats to tanks to aeroplanes to machinery to trucks, buses and cars. Apart from a fully rebuilt gearbox, they're incredibly good for a standard product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
