Purpose:
This is to bring more attention to the hidden Autosport within GT known as Drag Racing. There has been very little done to add to this segment of Auto Racing within GT and if we have enough momentum with this maybe others will see why the Drag Racing community wishes to have "trees" and other modifications to the game to help add to our experience. Please share this contest with your friends and help to get the word out.

Now this car I like 👍

Anything is better than that Honda last week :lol:

I could get up off my couch and go quicker than that thing could off a line.

Edit: Also I am going to try to mention which each paint I used is when I took the photos. Last weeks was GT Polarized 001 on the Accord Picture.

I figured this way if you liked the paints you know what it is if you win and can request a car with that paint (as I have them all)

Enjoy this event and good luck 👍
 
I suggest everyone get tuning early on this one to try to gain some ground on our points leader and in-house 4wd specialist PTK. 👍

Your not kidding, I dont mind slow cars but that thing was a slug. Next time we have ff I will put fourth more effort. And like fest0r I thought it was over tommorow. :dunce:

Sorry bout the GMT but I want to be sure that all participants worldwide can enjoy and get the times we start and end.
 
What's the max hp on a broken in TT ? Just found out the wife's working tomorrow night so I'll be on a 12 hour tuning binge :)
 
Does it mess with the tune?

Its just more of an annoyance to me, but the hp and torque curves change when power increases so you could argue that your trans setting could be affected.

Yeah it does, if you tune an unbroken car, then break it in you'll probably need re-tune the tranny or you may be bouncing off the limiter at takeoff with the extra power. Not sure if the suspension is affected much.

My #1 rule is to break in before tuning.


I only tuned 1 unbroken car...spent a couple hours farting with the tranny and getting a great first gear launch only to have to start over with it. It was an ACR that needed a second gear launch

As soon as I buy a car I know I'm gonna tune I change the oil immediately, buy and install all the parts then throw it in a b-spec endurance race for 200 miles and go tinker with something outside for a couple hours or so.
 
Well, since we are on the topic of breaking in, does anyone know the amount of miles needed before you can rebuild this engine? I have over 250 miles on it but only let me change the oil so far. This car is a pain to break in.

I think u should be fine. I broke mines in and i got 473hp

shouldn't need to rebuild engine, change oil when new at 0 miles, change oil again after 200 miles....some say 180 but i do the full 200.

^This, an engine rebuild at that amount of power won't gain you any hp. It is best not to do a rebuild until an oil change doesn't restore full power anymore.
 
Just wanted to make the official announcement that due to Mr fest0r's great generousity, last weeks prize of a $10 PSN card has rolled over to this weeks challenge! Get tuning and good luck! 👍
 
Oh the dreaded break in period :irked:

I usually break in at route x. Drafting there with a group of people can vastly speed up break in times. For example I broke in a gts viper in under 30 minutes staying in an x1's slipstream. Crusing at 330 really speeds things up :lol:

Karo I was reading you 1/4 mile times and It would be deeply appreciated if you increased your TTS time by at least .1 seconds. Thank you :)
