MikeT36 Member 77 Member For: 12y 1m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 28/03/13 07:53 AM Share Posted 28/03/13 07:53 AM Hey Guys might be a silly question but any personal experience in regards to this would be awesome!!I’ve just bought a Typhoon and it’s my first Turbo car it’s six speed manual and not long after buying it my mate took me for a drive in his which is automatic,I don’t know if I’m expecting too much but the torque delivery in his car seemed to pin you too the seat whereas in mine the delivery is much more subtle,Both cars are stock so just wondering if the difference I’m feeling is because the auto holds the boost between gears, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84415-fpv-f6-typhoon-performance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a heap of drives in manuals and autos and they seem the same. To be honest the manual probably pinned down more. Driver??
