Drag Competition

[Jmac279]

Rules:

You have 50,000 credits to spend on a car and modifications
You must list your car, modifications, specifications (Power @ RPM + Torque @ RPM), and settings to prove your times are legit
Prize cars may be used, but their purchase value is 4 times their selling value (10,000 cr selling value = 40,000 cr purchase value)
NO HYBRIDS

Goal:

Get the lowest 400m and 1000m times possible ...

very nice idea, ive thought about havin a drag contest but never thought to have a money limit. il see what i can get

 

[Jmac279]

Yay

I've been waiting for others to post up numbers

I put a cash limit on it so it'll make the car and mod choice a little more interesting ... Otherwise everyone would just use the Escudo : ...

Yes

Cool! I'll take this challenge too! The Second best to try on the test course is the GT-One road car, but off of the line it'll spin the rear wheels, impedeing lap times. I think i'll go with an AWD car, more specifically the R34 Skyline.

 

[Korndawg]

ok i worked on it last night and i got what i think is a good car. i have a car for each drivetrain (fwd, rwd, awd) but for now il just put the fastest one.

very true lol. we could change it to no 4wd allowed? that might make it more interesting

mines slowest

 

[Jmac279]

Mine's not tuned for an automatic transmission ...

 

[sucahyo]

Yes, but mine and korndawg's also not tuned for an automatic transmission, because we all have uncustomizable gearing ......
And I think buying a full racing transmission will not make the car as fast as buying racing muffler and triple plate clutch

Wow, you've just done what I always wanted...test a car with each different part installed and see what happens. I've done it once or twice but I get impatient. I dig your research.

 

[Jmac279]

I did that years ago with basically every type of car (I think I did like 12 cars) ... Flywheel is definitely the best in terms of bang for the buck ...

Nonetheless, I'd get different parts if I were using an automatic transmission (try to optimize power at lower RPMs) ...

 

[Parnelli Bone]

I've done a limited amount of drivetrain tests. I remember each flywheel upgrade would knock about a tenth of a second off my 0 to 60 accel times, but I forget which car I was testing. Interesting stuff.
