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

Need to change the name of the car from ford lightning to M5 . Good choice though.

 

[Slash]

I guess I'm passing on this car as well.

 

[KaroSVTR]

Nooo dont its a pretty simple car to tune. I have like a 10im tune on it and its a 9.966. A good tune will most likely get into the 9.8's

 

[fest0r]

I love this car in real life 👍

I put a tune on this for eightlives's tournament a while back so I must admit to a little bit of a head start. Don't worry though... I got destroyed by everyone

I got a tune on it too with a time of 9.966 but the cars not broken in. Curious to see what it can do broken in. This should be a good one!

 

[ryanerb]

Sorry for the delays getting the next contest up as well. I literally just picked something I thought would be nice out of the OCD. I mean, its a bunch of BMWs now so.... not too much to pick from and I almost considered throwing out a 120i or 130i on you

As you see my Photoshop work was rather thrown together as well... I just wanted to get something up with Kenny being busy and myself even being rather busy but didnt want to slow the roll 👍

I don't really like to tune cars I don't like IRL. IDK, I might but meh.

Says the guy in 3rd place overall.

I suspect you'll do well.

 

[KaroSVTR]

0-60 2.418 0-100 4.929 Im stuck right here lol

 

[CheahBro]

How much hp fully broken?

 

[kleomenis5582]

2.434 and 4.921 2 weeks ago!!!!
When i take part in this competition i see under 4.88 with fine susp tuning

Good luck on the 4.88 im sitting at 5.000 even right now. Trying to find a sweet spot for my transmission.

 

[kennyblanco]

I haven't even begun to tune yet lol.

Suspension isnt gona do much i tried alot of diff types but the 1 i got on it now just made a .2sec faster trap.

 

[r4a2g0]

I can't seem to do much more to this car. Everything iv'e done has just made it more and more awful. I mean.. 701hp and it barely keeps up with some of my lesser powered cars. I know, I know, weight is an important factor but come on.

 

[kennyblanco]

Lol, keep at it. 👍

 

[Trybal]

2.424 and 4.945 at the moment, this car is a B****. I don't even think you can get a better launch other then full throttle start? And most top speeds I try give me the same time -/+ 0.002s -_-. And 2nd gear launch was equal to 1st gear launch auto lol.

I feel you bro. Im stuck too lol

 

[Mikeybc]

Max hp 708 ? I already had one in my garage with just over 1000 miles.

Currently stuck at 2.434 and 4.936

Mine has 701HP. Did I miss something?

 

[Mikeybc]

How many miles, did you do an oil change?

 

[KaroSVTR]

Drive it a bit at spec A i think the HP will slowly add on. I have 708 as well

 

[ryanerb]

Actually a faster/easier way to break the car in is put it in an endurance race in B-Spec (I just did this for a circuit car for another series I am in - I used Nurburgring 4 hour... that will give you ~ 350 miles (well into break in) while you sleep). You will need to oil change again after you break it in too before you start using it.

It seems to me like at about 250 miles the car will be fully broken in. It doesnt start taking power loss till it gets up closer to 10k miles.

So the "sweet spot" for the cars in the game is between 250-8k miles (from my reading and experience)

 

[kennyblanco]

I agree with letting bob do all the gruntwork lol. He may as well do something productive. 👍

Yup Bob's good trait... one of the few thing he does right.

 

[r4a2g0]

hmm.... the F-150 I bought from the OCD still has less than 10 miles on it at 752HP. I did nothing but add the parts, no breaking in. The M5 is from the OCD too and all I did was buy parts, and it has less than it should???? Why do we have to break in the M5 but not the F-150? I'm just confused.

Edit: OK so I feel like a founkin moron.
After going into my settings to change my sheet so I could run this M5 for a few laps of Daytona I realized something.....
I didnt buy the sport intake manifold , now I have 708HP.

 

[ryanerb]

ahhh, now I feel like an idiot too...

Yeah, OCD cars need no break in but the premiums do...

I've done this too. I've also went so far as tune a car and bring it out on sports hard tires lol.

 

[fest0r]

The main problem for me is remembering to turn off traction control before spending ages trying to stop it bogging at launch
