ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/02/09 11:06 AM Author Share Posted 26/02/09 11:06 AM yep, I was wondering what people were referring to when it cam to the walking man.Took a mate for a bit of a run on my private road up to 150 from a standing start.Once it hits 4,000rpm all hell breaks loose. It is like the turbo kicks in. I think it would be a bit faster than the old F6, but it handles better with a sharp turn in and tighter feel, as it is so new.They have also played with the ZF in the FG as it blips the throttle between gearchanges on WOT and under hard breaking. It also bangs into gears in perf mode a lot harder than my BF ever did.It feels like the line pressure is significantly increased when you slide the shifter left. I have only done about 100km on it so far averaging 29lt/100km Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54680-the-gt-e-is-here/page/8/#findComment-831539 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Pat mentioning it in another thread. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54680-the-gt-e-is-here/page/8/#findComment-831552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be alarmed if the climate control, audio, lighting & locking settings are all different when you use the second key too...they are all on the memory with the seat and mirrors. Thought mine must have had a gremlin in it before I realised what was going on!

ronburgundy I love gooold member Donating Members 1,222 Member For: 16y 5m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne (west) Posted 26/02/09 08:44 PM Share Posted 26/02/09 08:44 PM He's a bit of a celebrity in our house too, the walking man. The kids love him!Yeah the mirror dip is a favourite of mine too, as is (surprisingly) the rear camera. I never really thought that much of it until I had to reverse the mrs Escape and I was like what, I need to actually turn around??!!
