Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 11m 10d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/01/12 03:05 AM Share Posted 06/01/12 03:05 AM I wouldn't say they are a bucket of sh*t, if strong means noisy then so be it. Anything over 330 and there is a chance you'll break your auto where as the manuals are fine till 450+ with a good clutch. And then there's also the ZF milkshake that can destroy a stock auto.The auto's are unbeatable in a straight line but that's about it, manual would tick the rest of the boxes. Yes you can drive the auto like a manual but it's not even close to feeling like the real deal.But to answer your original question, as for fun factor the manual will win hands down. The auto is pretty boring to drive. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78418-fun-factor/page/3/#findComment-1177462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, 12.9 in a stock Fg manual is a good peddle too.

I am sure you can peddle well mate, but plenty of others on here can too and almost unaminously agree the auto is faster that the manual regardless of driver ability in a straight line when comparing like model to like model....... Who knows your car might have been an especially good one from the factory or the others weren't going 100%. Either way, the manual is more fun and we all agree on that!

The auto is fast but boring.Lol, doubt it.If you look around a bit I'm not an auto fan by a long shot, the ZF is fast but very fiddly and pedantic. It's seems to do it's own thing and at times makes you feel like you have no control at all. And with the thought of the heat exchanger being able to destroy it in the blink of an eye with no warning at all has really damaged my confidence in it.I'm actually looking to get back into a manual at the moment. It's a good gearbox I've just lost interest in it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78418-fun-factor/page/3/#findComment-1177498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was sick of it doing it's own sh*t all the time and not letting me drive. The op mentioned that the tr6060 is noisy and rough. The box is built to handle very high torque and hp so has large tolerances.
