My XR6 Turbo is a BA its a 4 speed auto, I want to go to the creek this wednesday. I've got 313rwkw, u obviously use sequential sports shift mode and stall it up before the light goes green at what rpm would you flick it from 1st gear to 2nd gear when the light goes GREEN, and do u flat stick the car on green, all help will be appreciated thanks.

Launching these things is about the balance between not bogging down or minimising wheelspin. Best get to the track for some practice to find that balanceBTW Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57385-311rwkw/page/2/#findComment-887229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
