This was the only car I couldn't tune. No matter what I did other SpecV's would always beat me. What I finally did was break it in. Never used this car for any of the events and bought it solely for drag racing. With that extra hp, you should shorten the 6th gear as much as possible (mine has a top speed of 160) and lengthen the 1st gear. Also a big deciding factor in AWD cars is the Torque Differential

With my Enzo I hit 172mph, which is very respectable at Indy. But since the launch isn't amazing, it WILL lose to the SpecV. What speed do you get? (In mph please)
I think he is referring to SSR7.

Well, lower gear ratio for 2 to what ever gear yes, first gear ratio should be a little bit longer so the tires dont spin. On 4wd cars, im nor sure about the springs, but i usually run soft springs and dampers, and ride height is a little bit higher in he back. It works well for me, but i dont know if its the correct way.

Well, yesterday we were running on indy road course, and a person called the launch, and on "go" he started the stopwatch, and checked the time when the car passed the line. This works okay, but only if you launch your car when "go" is called, and not before (you only fool yourself).
Otherwise we are running 2 cars at a time to a certain distance, and the car that reaches the spot first wins. This is so called "street" style drag....

You don't want Camber in the rear. Less camber equals more tire contact with road surface. Camber is for handling properties which don't necessarly apply to a quarter mile. As far as ride height is concerned a little higher in the back wouldn't hurt depending on the car but mostly the front is low. Lower center of gravity pretians to ideal handling.

The speed at the end of the 1/4 doesn't even matter! You could have an X1 sit half way through the 1/4 for 10 minutes and then he guns it and does 190 MPH at the end while the other car did 150 MPH but he still finished first..
i know that dude lol i tell that to ppl all the time, come see me and my crew we drag full tunnel at ssr7 i wanna see wat u got , cheers d2 from GME

Why would he do that, this is drag racing, not circuit racing. I dont know who GME is and i dont care either, but if they are helping people tune their cars and come with good advice, than its okay.I don't like to punch it in a straight line for 9 seconds

its hard to be a "group tuner/shop" for drag as there are so many fast cars out there
sure you can give a base tune but you cant guarantee or boast your the quickest because i can bet there will be someone faster
if not now, someone will step up and get faster. a lot of these drag racers play/test & tune every single day. that means they are getting a little faster as each day goes by
with that said, its fun because it keeps the game interesting. if you keep winning then there isnt a need to tune

Well, both yes and no. I still claim we know to little about the game physics ta make a good base tune that makes sense. Many cars are fast out there, but they are running tunes that doesnt make sence. And yes, tuning isnt a one time offer, maybe just for some people that really knew the tuning from the beggining. For example, my supra was one of the fastest one once, but now it isnt because others have used the same technic as me, and optimized it. Now i got to ask others for help so they can educate me, so i can optimize further. And thats the benefit of having a team, you can share all good information fast with eachother, and be number one.......untill some other person finds out.

The why would I drag race if I don't do it, you see? I did get a bit offended when he calls me out saying I should come "see him and his crew" because he wants to see what I got when drag racing is not my thing. Why'd you jump into this anyway bud?
Edit: If you call help telling someone one sentence about suspension and then a ton of other useless posts that has nothing to do with helping someone out then so be it.
