Top Speed - 130
Calculated TS - 126


Mods all mods High RPM Range Turbo

I was getting close times with the Supercharger but with less wheelspin on the launch. I was loosing time with that though through the other gears (about .10 seconds slower with the Supercharger)

Im happy with the tune overall from a circuit perspective and think it would be a decent tune like this on Tskuba (yes I went there with that lousy track... but hey the track and the car match )

Edit: 2 laps on Tsukuba and I got a 1.00.117.... Not bad for that track and 2 laps... lol... yup not a bad Tsukuba tune for this car (oh and about 4 beers so I could have hit the corners a bit cleaner)

With that car which is great for cirquits i've done with supercharger
58,707s and the chassis for that kind of race is very nice but for drags sucks

I hear something funny though that is not real for my tune!!!
If i have faster 0-60 i also have faster 0-100 and faster 1/4m
My faster time was 4.099s but i screwed up the shift
I never did that again but in 3 next passes i've done 4.102s and the
faster 1/4m for me.
I really want to see how close are we all for that!!!
BTW the fastest exit speed was 118mph i think.

Yeah, I noticed that too

I think if I were to make it more circuit friendly I would definitely mess with the toe and camber. My guess would be 1.8 in the front and 2.5 in the back and then toe in the front more than a tad and toe out the back a tad. It was amazing how solid this car ran around a track. I never bothered with this car before but I am not a FF fan even in circuit racing....

The Supercharger felt smoother and even in a way quicker because there was minimal wheelspin than the Turbo Charger.

BTW I SUCK at drag racing!

Wait a minute, I thought you had change the car for a Corvette. Crap I need to get to work then. At least the 0-60 numbers are almost identical to what I first ran with it. Its going to be a close one.

Congratulations to fest0r and whoever he has in charge of his R&D department over at fest0r Industries! Congratulations also to kleomenis and PTK-the man of many hats! Good work everybody! It was very close this week. Glad to see we had a slightly bigger turnout. I hope this will be a continuing trend! I'll be posting photo verification of the top 3 contestants shortly. I'd like to thank everyone that participated and congratulate everyone on their times. Also since fest0r has declined to accept his gift for winning it will be awarded to our runner up. Nice job everyone and thank you again. Be on the lookout for details on the next event to be released shortly and don't forget to check out the updated leaderboard!

I will PM the winners within the next day or 2.

Remember the prize payouts have shifted a bit to the following:
1st place - 2 cars or tickets and 5 paints
2nd place - 1 car or ticket and 5 paints
3rd place - 5 paints

I removed 5 paints from first so I can keep up with the weekly event reducing overall trades to 3 days instead of 4
