R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/04/10 12:01 PM Share Posted 14/04/10 12:01 PM The problem with these cars is there's very strong response from throttle movement and it almost feels as though there's no difference in power from 1cm throttle all the way to wide open. But rather than spin 1st you should shift into 2nd and jam it down. Try it. Use manual mode and short shift to 2nd when 1st begins to spin; you'll chew those gooses in the R8's and GTS's every time Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67565-fg-f6-traction-problems/page/2/#findComment-1000596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good tyres. What do you recommend? One the F6 winds up all hell breaks loose. I think stickier tyres would be good, yes, but wider tyres also. You just don't know how easy the mean machine chews the rubber... Off by a mile, so serious consideration required for any decent take off. Cheers.

I would say go for anything like Advan Neovas, Falken Azenis RT615s.

I'm thinking maybe too much camber and less tyre sidewall are making things worse.
