Was manual too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 9m 30d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 08/11/10 04:43 AM Share Posted 08/11/10 04:43 AM (edited) 120mph here in auto with 317rwkw. The power curve is way different between an I6T and the SC 5.0 though so I wouldn't think it would be directly comparable? That goes for any car. This has always confused me, if I had a super peaky tune of 317, would it run a different mph as my existing smoother tune? ie more area under the power graph = faster? Or would it just change the ET? Edited 08/11/10 04:44 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was manual maybe my car woulda put down 325-330rwkw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise from the pipes is pretty bloody good for a factory car too! Barks and carries on when you manual shift the ZF. Supercharger wine isn't there on idle but you can definately tell its there above 4500rpm.Car also feels sharper to turn in, hit a few corners on our test drive route with a bit more speed than I usually do and it seemed to handle it quite well. Smallest bit of understeer, probably cause I still had traction control on. (Boss in the car.. :( )Standing start was impressive, broke traction a little then hooked up and took off. Auto shifts great, after about 50km it felt as if it was learning to shift harder and hold gears longer.. Adaptive ftw!For something that comes in under luxury car tax and you rich coal miners don't have to throw in a personal contribution, it certainly has the goods and I think ford has done an awesome job with the new motor.

The above is from my point of view though. Coming out of a turbo ute..Felt as if the traction control wasn't letting the tail end 'drift' out. By understeer, I mean the smallest amount. Turn in is still very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, traction control/stability control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
