Manual Only Ba-Fg, Xr6 Turbo ¼ Mile Times

[k31th]

This is true, the FG GT is much easier to launch (I've launched my brother's one plenty of times without wheelspin and with very minor clutch slipping via pedal effort).

My previously stock BA F6 typhoon was relatively easy to launch when stock, but still took some finesse... the more power it made, the more difficult it became to launch it hard (especially with non-sticky street tyres). There is always an extremelly fine line between bogging it down and spinning the wheels... Control your wheelspeed by the clutch control and your clutch won't last too long! Becomes an expensive exercise...

At the strip with sticky tyres of course would be different, but then you run the risks of (extreme) driveline damage. All the name of fun!

Stock power, stock everything, even carrying my full size spare.

Some o y'all gotta learn to launch.

When you're stock, it's much easier to launch, especially if you have a small turbo

And launch control

The "launch assist" isn't that great, really... All it does is control the revs at idle, you still have to slip the clutch and feed in the throttle to not spin the wheels off the line.

I ran an 11.907 @ 119mph a while ago. (May 2012)

Only thing is the car is no longer going. My Uncle wrote it off on the way home from WSID not long after. (Sept)

Manuals mph over the line are always rubbish compared to autos with the same power, can't quite get my head around why there's such a big difference..?

[_Velocity_]

More power + longer ET?

[k31th]

Lower MPH because for equivalent rear wheel power, the engine power is MORE in a manual due to lower driveline losses because there's no torque convertor

It builds boost though
