| mr man nah wasnt saying you where mate.. just saying i believe that if you can drive a manual at its full power.. it will keep up with the autos.. mind u.. usually the auto will get the jump at take off... also i only have the s**t T5 gear box... if i had the 6 speed i think that could make a good differance to the 1/4mile time.... i really need to get ,my a** into gear n just run it.. that will show me.. but 1, i dont want to run down there with my 19's on it cause the tyres cost to blody much.,.. and i want slicks.. so i get the best of the best that the car can get.. so its also a money thing too... ill be happy to hit the 13s mark... if i beat 14 ill be happy.... i do need to tune... but there like $1500 with 3 custome tunes around here in melbourne and at the moment i dont have that money.. butstill looking at it |

Hey Brendan,
Sorry to hear that you're not entirely happy with your XR6T, and I know it's definitely NOT down to your driving skills ...as I have the vids of you hauling serious a** in my EL XR6!
May I SUGGEST the following solution:
1. Pull all the go-fast bits & rims off your XR6T and sell it,
2. Buy MY 2003 Mercury Silver 4-spd Auto BA XR6T for $25,000 ('cos that's what I owe FRAUD credit)
I think we all agree that the T5 manual is weaker than the Auto for power mods, so you will be in a better position with my Auto.
I've found some talented Ford tuners here in WA (BPT Motorsport, Barry & Terry Batten).
$1300 will get you a 245 rwkw generic BPT CAPA tune, and for $2600 they can get you hauling at 350+ rwkw ...all on the stock Auto!
Barry was telling me that TOO many so-called Ford tuners out there tune the XR6T's so that boost comes on in a huge rush ...thus destroying gearboxes etc.
Barry tunes 'em so that boost comes on smoothly, and in the right rev powerband, hence why they guarantee that their tunes will see you making serious power ...without any destruction!
I would be prepared to organise a BPT tune before sending my XR6T across to ya ...at your expense unfortunately, but something to think about. 
You could think this is all s**t mate, haha ...it's just a suggestion.
BTW, the EL XR6 is still going awesome (check my gallery), ...we're going to the drags next WED! |
