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

This was pretty easy to tune. Im done with mine i dont think im able to get a better time then what i have.

 

[ryanerb]

It is pretty easy to tune (for what I do with it).

Actually, its a pretty good car to use in circuit racing to. I mean, of course there are better ones but its not half bad if you tune it right... It will cruise through the corners.

*********
Also, it is official. Next weeks car will require you to save up about 10 million credits. Start saving up those credits and playing the seasonals.

Just when I thought I was getting somewhere with mine, though ive so far only been searching for the right trans. Might have to take it lower yet. But after 15-20 minutes I'm at 2.966 and 7.043. never really touched the suspension yet except for ride height. Gonna try aero too later.

Good luck, that trans is a b****.

0-100 just under 7s but that's all I want to say.

 

[kttheman001]

Yes it is a bit of a pain gettin under 7s.. I just leave you with this, my older tune.

0-60:2.907
0-100:7.001

 

[Mikeybc]

Ok. Think I finally got that trans sorted out, all I'll say too is 0-100 in a little wee bit under 7.000.

 

[kttheman001]

Wow, i was racing one that took me by a car last night on the launch? Then i would sit there a car back.

 

[fest0r]

Sorry guys... made a mistake earlier. Just spotted that the rules state you can only discuss 0-60 times. I posted before that 0-100 were ok too I should read things properly

Anyway, my submission is in and looks like similar times... hit a (virtual) wall early on with it

Ryan and Kenny have probably noticed that we were discussing 0-100 times as well. It seems that they do not mind since nothing has been said to us. On topic of the V-Dub: 0-60 is 0:02.834 and 0-100 is 0:06.926.

Nice 👍 I think I need another look at this

 

[kennyblanco]

Yeah, far as I remember 0-60 and 0-100 times were ok to discuss. That still leaves plenty of room for differences over 1/4 mile....Unless we're tuning the Samba Bus....Hmmmm?

Ha ha, yeah, took me a while to get that, my bus tops out at 100 and roughly 10 seconds after the 1/4 mark.

Mine traps 120

Just kidding. I wish it did though. 👍 I think its really around 92 lol.

 

[fest0r]

Be honest... will the bus be making an appearance for round 12? :tup:

 

[ryanerb]

Yeah, I have not minded the 0-100 on most of the cars. Almost all of the cars hit 100 well before the 1/4 mile mark and some the 0-100 is better gauge than than 0-60 (the faster cars that 0-60 in 3 seconds or less)

Ive thought about the SambaBus or the Kubelwagen a few times

If I tossed in a super slow car like those though I wouldnt pick them myself. I would find one thats even less used (not thats an easy task ) than those 2. But we may never know until it happens.

Start getting ready. In the next hour or two I will be posting the next event. I am working on the photo of it now as we speak. Remember this one will cost over a few million so I hope you all have some cash saved up. It will be an interesting event to say the least

 

[Mikeybc]

A Subaru 360 '58 would be interesting

 

[kennyblanco]

A Subaru 360 '58 would be interesting

It'd take the better part of the week to make a pass.

Be honest... will the bus be making an appearance for round 12? :tup:

You know it is one of my favorites and I have one tuned and ready to go.

Just a little over 30 minutes til deadline. Get those times in everyone!

p.s. I'm just getting in so it may be a bit before I get to post up the results. I apologise and I thank you for your patience with me.
