Title: Whats the performance of an auto 3.9 V8i?
Post by: JimsMowing on April 05, 2007, 23:38:23: 0-60 / 40-70 that sort of thing? Just curious. Mine seems fairly snapish with quite vigorous lurches in up shifts at F/T.

I've noticed some variation, you get good ones and fair ones. Occasionally you see bad ones.

No RRC ever beat 10 seconds to 60, not even the 4.2 LSE which was the fastest.

Yeah it can be a pain...but im 6ft 3 so its not too much of an issue! Pedal travel is horrendous..but with lead weighted shoes it gets to the floor quickly!
