When you want spirited driving though manual hands down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a car that needs to be driven, not just steered...plus I'd be doing big clutch dumps EVERYWHERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 11m 4d Gender: Male Posted 17/12/12 02:37 PM Author Share Posted 17/12/12 02:37 PM The auto is ok,but I wasn't too impressed when I took the f6 for a test drive. The YouTube vid shows a 135m bmw accelerating,it has an auto box that shifts very fast.If Ford could have the auto box shift as fast as what's in the clip and have no other performance enhancements in the next update,that improvement alone could shave a few tenths of the 1/4 mile run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 11m 4d Gender: Male Posted 18/12/12 01:27 AM Author Share Posted 18/12/12 01:27 AM Yes a ZF tune would do the trick but would it not be great if the tranny came "out of the box" with very fast shifting speeds.Ford/FPV could at least offer it as a part of a performance package.Virtually all of the German high performance names haveadditional performance packages available for their cars and that includes M division BMW,Merc,Porsche and Audi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
