ZF auto is perfectly geared here.Stopping quickly and 2nd gear acceleration is what's needed at this track and these Turbo Fords with Brembo's have that covered, and scare a lot of Europeans makes. www.mdtc.com.auI'll be at a the Marulan Street Car Shootout, Natsoft timed round on Sunday May 25th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you've pulled the release and hit the track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more warping now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea why that would be? I'm guessing the air flow being forced under there was just too much? Was pretty freaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
