Now I have a Bf mk11 with a zf 6 speed in CONQUER!! I always wanted a blue falcon turbo and I am extremely glad I was able to get this one. I know there isn't much of a difference between the ba and bf bar the 6 speed and an extra 5kws.... BUT its got me thinking.....how could these differences make such a BIG difference? - this thing FLYS like you wouldn't believe, compared to my 4 speed auto. maybe I was just used to its slowly dying so the power wasn't there in the old one? or is my new one tuned?? it lights up the rears very very easily!! whats your opinions? Is the 6 speed THAT awesome? I will try and get pics up when the weather is better Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76937-is-it-me-or-the-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the stronger internals once you mod Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76937-is-it-me-or-the-car/#findComment-1141113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
