Correct, depends when you want to change cogs. I actually change from 1st to 2nd at 80kph. Then third gets me to 180 then 4th, well i have not maxed out 4th. It gets to scary at 240kph.

FWIW you're not the only member here to have a B series that does 200 kmh.

And no, it wasn't me.

But my car goes from 100--200 in 7 seconds, who the hell needs a ZF when my car hits 4th gear at 200 kph in sequential mode. Anyway i have had my rant. Also i know a few people with an FG 2 GT . They all call my car an old bomb. I dont get it. Just because its old does'nt mean its ready for the scrap heap. Its only done 80,000 km, and only 5,000 since been S/C by Bluepower.

That was a lame rant. A bit like your 4 speed transmission

I like mercury silver......as for 4 speed autos.....don’t think so. But in saying that have had many falcons in the 90’s and early 2000’s with the btr box and they were reliable

Who needs 4 gears when 1st in a BTR will do 300,000km/h

My opinion.

I own a BA GT in Mercurary silver also with a 4 speed, Only has a bonnet decal.

My car is stock and I have destroyed the transmission 2 times, it has been rebuilt twice. Second time it was modded to make it better and also a trans cooler installed.

The BA does feel old compared to my VE wagon, the 6 speed in my wagon is way in front of my GT. But in Saying that my GT feels so much newer than my VH Sle.

I get why people say it is old, new GT’s and new cars do feel newer, but for a 15 year old car my GT still is a good car to drive.

Yep - 23 posts on your inaugural thread and I think this is the one that made the most sense...

Junkyard-Dog · 20-04-2019, 07:44 PM

The tall 1st gear in the BA makes for rad burnouts but that's the only upside to it as far as I'm concerned.

I was not talking about redline in first gear. Anyway, a BA in sports mode would never do that and neither would a sane person in sequential mode.

Im not interested in burnouts, i have been doing that for 30 years. I once did a burn out in a 5.0 Monaro and the tyre somehow came of the rim and flew higher than 30 meters. My tyres are worth 300 each and i want to conserve them. But going WOT at 70 kph still gets me 500ml sideways.
