DLC paint can be applied to the body and the wheels. Any DLC Paint is available in addition to all "My GT Rare Paints (Mattes, Colorshifts, Chromes)" If a re-painted car is desired please specify body color, rim color and rim type (most stock rims cannot be painted so pick one from GT Auto)

*******************************************************************************
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.

Ah great, a vehicle I have yet to tune and most people have already. :crazy:
 
I think I have an old base tune posted somewhere for this. :lol: It won't win you any prizes but it'll get you started. 👍 Also, I know it seems dumb because tuning this truck has been discussed before. but we don't want anyone to be discouraged from participating because they are intimidated by some of your times. I know this truck has been discussed many times before but lets leave it at that. Any previous discussion can be used as reference but lets not discuss our current times outside of 0-60 times until the event has expired. 👍

Also wanted to confirm 752hp. I got better 0-60 times with a little ballast but it killed my 1/4 mile time. I'll play with it some more but I expect my time to be among the top 5 even though mine doesn't count lol. 👍
 
I built one of these. Didn't know why. However this seems to be its calling. So look for an entry when time comes.
 
I'm assuming since its in the OCD that no break-in is required ? Just an oil change and parts ? Not home to see or try it yet.
 
2.9 60' times finally.

That's with my own tweaking. Now to chase drag racers tunes and tweak it more.
 
I do believe that is correct. You should end up with 752hp.👍

I already owned one, it had 8,000 miles on it and it only has 751hp. I got a decent time I think but im gonna go buy the OCD one and see what that 1hp will do. :lol:

Hey, welcome Owens :) I never did GT5 drag racing until I found this group a couple weeks ago, sure is exciting when 1/4 mile times cant be posted, good luck to you.

Every little bit helps lol. 👍
 
Just a question, but has anyone used ballast on it.. I'm considering it but I'm not sure.. My 0-60 times are slow, but I make up ground fast..

I tried and got better 0-60 times but my 1/4 mile time suffered. You could probably compensate for it and make up the time though. I didn't put too much effort into trying with ballast.

I tried it too but your better off without it.
PS. 0-60 2.627 0-100 5.411
 
After buying the OCD F-150 and using it over my old one i got:
Edit: new 0 - 60---02.629:::0 - 60-----02.631
Edit: new 0 - 100--05.435:::0 - 100----05.436

used to be:
0 - 60-----02.643
0 - 100----05.459

Edit: I can get the 0 - 60 and 0 - 100 times better but it forces 4th gear to drop too far in the powerband and my overall 1/4 mile time suffers horribly from it.

This thing has me perplexed :dunce:, Only 2.665 0-60 at the moment. I'll try once more tomorrow and that's it.
