cujo_r33 New Member 23 Member For: 15y 10m 17d Posted 22/11/14 11:43 PM Share Posted 22/11/14 11:43 PM I've heard a number of people say leaving the ZF 6sp in drive will give you the best ETs. Is this generally considered fact, or is it debateable? The reason I ask is I took my stock FG to Willowbank last night and Performance mode scored me better ETs (13.1 vs 13.3) and better mph (108 vs 106) than drive mode. Perhaps other variables were at play, but it made me wonder...

cujo_r33 New Member 23 Member For: 15y 10m 17d Posted 23/11/14 02:50 AM Author Share Posted 23/11/14 02:50 AM Mine is stock tune, and by performance mode I mean the computer shifting, not me shifting. It does seem already from the replies above that drive isn't always the quickest, and the answer is "it depends on conditions and setup"...

Total of 30 passes and trust me u can't beat factory auto shifts in a stock car 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89625-fact-or-opinion-d-is-for-drag/#findComment-1513793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
