Drag tuning basics

[mafia_boy]

Seriously? Picking at someone's English as an excuse to make them look bad? How old are you? I can understand what he's trying to say perfectly.

Yeah, we can tell he's a national spelling bee champion here can't we. But he failed punctuation, especially with capitals in the middle of his sentences.

And I can very easily say that you're not a 'pro' tuner either. And nor am I. The 'real pros' are those monkeys at GME. So don't go around glorifying yourself as being a 'pro', or brace yourself for it all to come crashing to a halt when the real professionals come along.

Boss Monkey approves this message. 👍👍

We'll be waiting for you, and that's not just the monkeys.....you put a target the size of a barn door on your back dude and the rest of the REAL pro tuners will be hunting you down and showing you what real speed and technique is about.

Doubt us?? Meet us in the SSR7 tunnel and feel the power of GME.

Shatt3ringkaboom? I smoked him in my Viper not to long ago. That kid doesn't come up with his own tunes, he gets them from someone.

Great thing was, that last night I managed to beat him, but he still insists on using Auto .

 

[DeolTheBeast]

you remember what his name is?, i would love to smoke him lol

HondaAcuraData or HondaAcurData something on those lines. He was quite happy to write off everyones Viper before the race .

If you can't find him, I'll try find him on my recent players and send it to you here on GTP .

1/4 or SSR7?

I actually know this guy

1/4

1/4

His R34 was pretty good but his viper not so much...

 

[DeolTheBeast]

As I said, he is known to have "The World's fastest Viper" .

I'm sure someone can show him a truly fast 1/4 Viper .

And sadly your not the only pro tuners...

nope cause midnight and J5 are two of them also! lol

Auto - Gear shifts are a critical part in dragging. Putting it in Automatic is bypassing a critical component of the event. Yes some real life cars drag with auto tranny but most are stick. IMO this is like TCS. Real men dont use it lol

Skid Recovery - Adds grip when tires are spinning. When people drag at Indy, their tires spin

Lol. Sry but your wrong. 60%+ use automatic during drags in real life. I kno bc i have built drag cars since i was 16.

Jw, could one of you explain to me how camber and toe has a positive effect on drag racing? I woulda thought that having 0 camber/toe would be best because more of the tire would be flat on the track.

 

[FamousTetsuo]

Wtf? "fast care here" I only understand proper english. Sorry I don't know what you are trying to say

The only "Pro" Tuners are myself and my friends, sadly you aren't one of them. Its not hard to go on here and glorify yourself.

We dont like ur kind around here fella! (in my redneck voice)

Ur a "pro" tuner? Lol. No. GME are pro tuners. Ur a punk. The last thing u want is to end up on Youtube not bein able to back up your words lil boy. So stop with all the talk about u and ur friends bein "pro" tuners. U suk

Amen! But seriously, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 You see! Even new members have the sense to know that's the difference between a proper professional and some little 'try hard' who wants to be seen and regarded as a professional. And a bit of a insufferable g*t.

I have been woundering that as well. In real life u would want clost to 0. 0 = less drag and more surface area. However im not sure about the game. Sry i couldnt help. But id also like to kno.

Its true man. The braggers and self talkers always loose to guys like the ones in GME. The day i meet J5, Midnite, D2, Mafia, etc. They were down to earth! Helped when needed! Didnt brag or make me feel dumb for asking dumb questions.

Yup, I know what you mean, and Mafs was the one who got my Veyron within half a car's length of his <---not bragging or anything, but to be half a car length from one of the fastest cars that run the tunnel, I thought it was worth a mention

Nice man. He has as well as other GME been a huge help on my Enzo and Veyron. Ur name on here the same as PSN?

Yea

Official drag cars with huge fat tires and wheelie bars, yes, they are most likely auto. But, strangely we don't have these in GT5, we have regular street cars, which when I last checked are driven by people who use manual. When was the last time you saw an automatic 1500hp supra? Auto Viper? Auto GT-R??

Camber: On RWD cars, front wheels don't do anything. The more of the tire that is touching the ground, the more power is required by the engine to overcome the forces of friction. Less contact with road = less friction = more speed 👍

Toe: Opposing forces come together to make more contact with the road which = more grip.

So running max front camber and -1/1 toe is the best option?

You said, I didn't


But I wouldn't mess with front toe... at least on RWD cars 👍

 

[JLawrence]

Dude. Noticeable difference. I appreciate that.

Well actually Automatic 1500hp supra's are normal. I live in Florida and we have Titan Motorsports. The company who holds about 15 records for Supras. Literally the largest Supra tuneing shop. They use Auto Actually most ppl with Supras like that use auto. Reason bein. With a car that has that much power u loose too much power when u shift. There can also be mis-shifts. Automatics dont have Boost lag like Manuals so ur well thaught out argument against the truth was actually weak and easly proved wrong. Sry. Not trying to be rude but ppl have the wrong idea about Auto cars.

Manual is good for Circuit. You can easily choose the gear u need and maintain ur ur RPM's and speed.

 

[FamousTetsuo]

Ohh and they use Titanium Helical cut geared transmissions and gearbox's. Sry. I left that out.

 

[TT3AZ]

Oh famous, nice to see you here . Yes, as for close geared cars in indy 1/4, i also use auto some times, for example on my gtr.

 

[TT3AZ]

Dude. Noticeable difference. I appreciate that.

So how does running camber and toe on the front affects the car then?

Thanks mate. I also use on my GTR.

 

[TT3AZ]

Good, how about for ssr7 tunnel, you use auto as well, or manual?

Ive stretched it long enuff to use either. If im in a lazy/tired mood i use auto. U?
