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

Looks like you've pulled the release and hit the track!

No more warping now. 2

Any idea why that would be? I'm guessing the air flow being forced under there was just too much? Was pretty freaky.
