HIRO F6 Member 1,817 Member For: 15y 10m 8d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane, QLD Posted 23/09/10 05:17 AM Share Posted 23/09/10 05:17 AM I had the pleasure of driving this beast yesterday. When Matty offered it to me, I couldnt say "yes" quick enough. Knowing that this F6 and my F6 have some goodies the same, I thought the two would be very similar. We've also had a couple of runs against each other which were pertty even so I thought I'd know what to expect..... how wrong I was!!!This car is unbelievable. The built ZF done by MTE is bloody awesome, so smooth yet firm each shift was. The way the turbo builds boost assisted by the higher diff gears if phenominal. First gear is pretty much non existent, 2nd is more comparable to most 1st gears and 3rd is the new second.I usually dont drive customers / mates cars hard but I couldnt help myself. The power skid it did in 3rd gear was off the hook. Car stayed pretty much dead straight as it smoked the Kumho KU19's (get some better tyres would ya mate!) and just wanted to keep baking them.Im trying to see if he wants to upgrade to a FG Ute now Thanks for letting me have a peddle Matty, I loved it. A very well built car. How you still have 12 points is beyond my comprehension.In my opinion, you've won the race to 500 with ease. Brandonn and I have some catching up to do.

Got to love the mte built autos can't beat them who would ever think u could get a 600 and then some hp car so smooth. Seems like I'm missing out in the fun I want to join the race as well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across a Bionic one and Matts phoon is all I could think about. Will come with Argents, a built box and might be able to get a built motor into it. If I end up with it, add the go fast bits that I will strip from my ute and minus the big turbo kit, cams and a few driveline goodies that Matty is running and I can see me modelling my phoon around this exact car!!Keen to see how its all going....

You have to be one of the first I've heard of cracking 400+ on it....Karl and I worked out that there is on average 10% difference in comparison to other dyno's we have been on.. Good to hear the tune went well, nothing like a Clinton tune.. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
