◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[the2armedmen]

The TV episodes that I saw had Mustangs, Camaros and the odd Charger. I never saw any import style American cars....but they did all have funky names so you need to have those thought of for them

I've only seen the show once so my knowledge on this subject is minimum.

 

[tezgm99]

Just don't spin off like what usually happens....I'm yet to see an episode where one of the muscle cars doesn't do that so it's race over after that really

 

[the2armedmen]

They have trouble stopping because the drivers are bigger than the cars lol

 

[Handlebar]

Looking forward to this now, gonna look for some great cars to put up against American muscle

I hope someone saves the vids!

You will need 2 cars. 1 with 525pp and 1 with 585pp





Yes, premium or standard doesn't matter as long is FR. Yes tune one of them to 525pp and the other to 585pp.

RULES AND SETTINGS ARE POSTED ON PAGE 1376. PLEASE CONSULT IT

Why the FR restriction on the Imports? Seems a lifttle odd as one of the advantages is weight (FF) vs tank heavy weights!

Ill choose the Aston Martin DB9 for now for the 585 and Lotus ESprit V8 GT for the 525pp.

Wait that is MR right? ... Which also takes away all RUFs! Audis! What kind of import competition is this?

 

[LondonDTM]

.....also takes away evos, and sti's, skylines, NSX...this is starting to sound kinda bad. I think the rules should be any drive train. The point of the show after all, is for the red neck to prove they can beat any other car in the world.

 

[IceWarden]

Schmiggz...you mentioned a recent show that had a Lambo 4WD in it. So your event doesn't pattern itself after the show so you can simplify it a bit I assume?

The only time I've seen an Import won the 10Grand.. it was a GT-R which are AWD.

 

[RickyBobbyV8]

525pp 70 SS Chevelle and my second for the 585 is the ZO6(C6)

As for the restrictions for imports i think we should let them run whatever they want, its all in good fun

Did the prize B winner pick yet?

 

[LondonDTM]

If he did, he didn't post about it

Maybe I'm wrong, since I'm still relatively new here, but the Prize B winner isn't someone I noticed on here regularly or racing before. Are we sure he's been here and knows that he won and needs to make a choice?

 

[dangerzone641]

How about do a rolling start? Like they do in the show

 

[IceWarden]

Some PP Cap action!

You guys are missing out!

You can choose your own cars without winning a race.
Tracks can vary greatly.
Racecraft is top notch...better than other series due to longer races and less urgency to win on the first lap.
Only one qualifying session.

AND we are cool dudes! No one telling everyone to shut off their mics. We drink and drive and still have race long battles. The atmosphere is just so much better than anything else. No stress...just cool as the other side of the pillow.

Awesome pics Joe W

Love the SS tree blur. Very nice

 

[IceWarden]

Thanks. It's so time consuming that I rarely have time to do it. But I had an hour last night to run through a few replays to get a few shots.

 

[LondonDTM]

For RUFTARN I'm going to use the Amuse Nismo 380RS Super Leggera for my 525PP car, and the M3 GTR '03 for the 585PP car.

Hey london, wanna hop in D1 and tune our picks?

I think the reason for the FR restriction is probably because this is a test event. Better to keep everything fair (FR Drivetrain only rather than FR v. FF/MR/RR/4WD). Personally, I wish I could've been able to run my GT-R but it all just to see it this event would work. I think I'll run a 300ZX and an Enfini FD RX-7 for the American vs Import races.

sup SNAILs I will be away for next 2 months father in law just got out of hospital and I'm working 60hrs/week as General Manager @GCOC getting things back to being organized and profitable from my 10 month absence... 10 months ago I had enough and walked out as Manager(tired of the BS lol) Father in law had Double by-pass heart surgery couple of weeks ago so between helping out at inLaws and a very long work week I find that I'm lucky to turn on the PS3 for 2hrs/week things will settle down in next month or 2 and I will be on track and racing weekly Cheers and keep up the great racing boys

 

[kcheeb]

I sent Carneiro a message asking him to make his prize selection. I'm at work and can't monitor all the time. If he has questions can you guys point him in the right direction?

Thanks!

 

[LondonDTM]

Hey london, wanna hop in D1 and tune our picks?

Hey sorry al, I was outside washing my car. I gotta go to a conference at my kids school quick. I'll try to find you later. I gotta say, I'm pretty excited about racing with you rather then against you for once 👍

 

[martin20az]

How about do a rolling start? Like they do in the show

It would be cool to do a pace lap and start the race under your own control

 

[tezgm99]

The only time I've seen an Import won the 10Grand.. it was a GT-R which are AWD.

I think an Audi won an episode as well. I also remember one where they DQ'd an RX-7 since it had a Corvette engine instead of the rotary

Thanks for the heads up. Hope everything works itself out and we'll see you back on the track when it does. 👍

I got a PM from him stating that he was confused on how to post his Prize B selection. I replied with some clarification so hopefully he'll be posting his choice on the thread soon.

 

[Schmiggz]

OK JOBYONE IS RIGHT.... Remember, i was taking notes while attending a class

ADD TO RULES: DRIVETRAIN IS FREE OF CHOICE IN BOTH PP CLASSES

THE RACES WILL TAKE PLACE IN PUBLIC ROOM UNLESS EVERYONE FRIENDS ME AND WE'LL DO IT IN MY LOUNGE.

2ARMEDMEN- No RM's please. Let's keep it street spirit.

 

[Schmiggz]

How about do a rolling start? Like they do in the show

I don't think we have that option in regular track races.

You can now drift.

hmmm.. I think I might keep the nismo, but change the BMW to something else.

 

[Luv2Coach]

UNOFFICIAL: GCar is having some technical difficulties I guess, but in a PM he told me the SLS AMG '10 will replace the Lambo. Unless he changes his mind I suggest breaking it in.
