Goes well!

Very nice review. You can tell the guy likes this car! Almost makes me want to get one NOW, instead of waiting for the Bullitt.

The Bullitt will be slower unless you can change gear as fast as the A10's hydraulics and even if you could the M6 box is not as close ratio as the A10.

The Bullitt will be smoked by Joe average in his 2018 A10.

Agreed.

The Bullitt is surely supposed to be a drivers focused car like the GT350? No.

I agree although he really didn't figure out the launch control did he? :doh: Every time he dropped the clutch it was from about 1500 rpm!

In such an in depth review I really wanted to hear about Magnaride and the difference it makes too.

The other one with 0-120 mph was no better - forgot to select SPORT! Even so he passed 100 @ 9 seconds dead and that's pretty impressive

Can't remember where I read it but 2018 stock on PS4s was timed at:
- 0-60: 3.9s
- 0-100: 8.6s
- 1/4: 11.8@121mph

Of course that was A10, they also test manual same day with a pro driver who gave no sympathy to the transmission and achieved:
- 0-60: 4.4s
- 0-100: 9.7s
- 1/4: 12.4@116mph


Trying to find the article but lost it, but needless to say the A10 makes a huge difference over the manual in every scenario due to its shorter ratio's keeping the car always in the sweet spot for maximum performance, it can also shift faster too of course.


Also Lund threw their tune, E85 and tyre on the car and did like 11.3@123mph, really impressive time for a car with just tune and tyre.

You add some headers and a really dialled in tune with a good driver and great run in good air can see them dropping into the 10's with really very basic bolt-ons, tune and tyre.

Call me old fashioned but I still prefer the manual to one of those hunty A10s!

Has anyone spotted any specs relating to the diff ratio for the 2018 manual

With the new manual box being a wide ratio box I'm hoping we will now get the 3.7 ratio (same a PP1 in USA) rather than the 3.5 (standard GT in USA) that's been the norm for all export manuals so far
