brett_xr6 Member 61 Member For: 16y 11m 19d Posted 20/11/08 03:02 AM Share Posted 20/11/08 03:02 AM Hey guys,Just a question to any manual BA/BF guys on how they launch their car? Just want to know what people have found works best to get off the line quickly. (what rpm etc...) I just want to work out how to get off the line quicker than these auto guys who just stomp it and don't have to worry about feeding in the power.I have a BF XR6 NA with a 6 speed Manual Trans.CheersBrett.

Guest Guests Posted 20/11/08 04:02 AM Share Posted 20/11/08 04:02 AM Try loading up to around 3500rpm with clutch at friction point & handbrake up. When the light goes green, drop handbrake & let clutch fully out. Depending on tyres & power levels you can work out how to feed the power in to combat wheelspin Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51812-6-speed-manual-launch/#findComment-771459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased the NA because it was a better package than any T that I was looking at and I am more than happy with my choice.

Seriously I am happy with the NA, and if I were to upgrade in a few years I would go the XR8 not the mighty 'T'. I perefer the NA power delivery for my style of driving. Its just personal preference. No offence to any of you Turbo boys but I drive a mates XR6T with tune etc. and then I drove another mates 5.4L BA GT, and I prefered the GT. Both were fantastic cars, but the NA is for me.....

Mine was personal choice, but let the NA guys enjoy their cars, because they are still great Falcons regardless of power output.
