fun slower cars to drag

[Swara]

So you're saying it will run consistent 9.5s or lower? I've got a badly tuned Cobra that I can run against you to check it out. Also some 9.7s if its not running as fast as the '66.

It will. I have an unbroken Cobra that runs 9.529 consistently. The fastest Cobra is currently Slash, with a time of 9.492.

Ultimate sleeper: Chrysler 300C '05. Just started tweaking it a bit and have it down to 10.04. I know it will run in the 9's. That's Supra, SVT territory for a 4 door.

I tried the 300C, lowish 10's on a quick tune but man does it ever sound like a piece of junk, like it's misfiring all the time.

I like my Pontac Solstice, 10.9's but I know it's quicker, stays ahead of srt4's until mid track then they fly by.

I was talking about X3sgteX's Lotus Esprit. I know what the Cobra runs, mine is badly tuned and wanted to see if it keeps up.

350Z (Z33, US) or 350Z (Z33, EU). Either if these cars will suprize the hell out of you. Mine runs a 10.333 with 530hp. My Alfa Romeo 8C has 648hp (I think) and it runs only 2 tenths of a sec faster at 10.178.

Is the MIL on? What kind of codes (DTC's) you have? Try swapping coils......LOL

 

[Master__Shake_]

Oh ok

So I tuned the Esprit and it runs low 9.6s and high 9.5s. It's not bad but not a Cobra killer by any means. Definitely faster than it looks stats-wise.

Unfortunately my PS3 doesn't have an OBD2 port

Bomer... Try jumping the SCS connector

I do like how it sounds along with the ACR and believe it or not the Seat Ibiza sounds pretty nasty and with a good tune, wink wink, will surprise those EK type R's, but then again I'm a Honda guy hating on Hondas.

 

[Slash]

Why, because it's a 5 speed?

It's not hard to tune. I put maybe 30 minutes into it last night and it won't give surpa's and mustangs a run for its money it'll down right take it. What it will give a run for its money is the 66 cobra...that should be an indicator of its potential.

Cuda's, rm challengers, 90 zr1's, rm rx7's, s2000's even the LFA will have a challenge beating this car.

Well for us it's not hard but for newcomers to the sport I wouldn't reccomend it. It does have potential but on the quick tune I have, it's got major gear lag that is tough to work out. It can be done though, I've been blown away by a few.

I've been beat by 1 random guy, and I know a few of the leaderboard guys can take mine for a ride for sure.

 

[CheahBro]

The supra 2.5 gt or whatever goes pretty well at 10.5s at the moment. Think the prem one could do more damage plus mine has done over 50k miles which doesent help.

The Esprit 350 doesn't have much gear lag, or much that I can see. It's also a 5 speed tranny.

I don't know then. I've only got a quick tune on it and from what I saw it was laggy as all hell.

 

[CheahBro]

lambo countach is verry laggy but is a great sleeper

I can't get my 4th gear to work out without lagging. My rpms drop bad when I shift to 4th. I've tried quite a few different methods to eliminate it but I can't so I quit lol.

Bogging when shifting into 4th? Are you using the same car? =\ I have 4th and 5th all the way to the right so I hardly have to deal with any shift lag at those gears.

 

[RetromaniAX]

my most favorite drag car is Cobra427! and I like drag race with 10.000~10.300 cars for example, RX-8,Carbon R,350Z(US),CamaroZ28 RM,Vette Stingray...
and I guess my VW1200 is fine tune

 

[Trybal]

I like to drag race Go Karts. Those have some competition in them.

I have mine all the way to the right too. I tried making 3rd longer to close the gap but it didn't help. I'll put it on share so you can have a look at it and give me some advice. I haven't really worked on it in a while.

That actually sounds pretty damn fun. I need to try this.

 

[cgg]

My best 1/4 mile time with it-

Try using the mid-range turbo and short-shifting if you aren't already. 👍

I consistently get 13.0 in my beetle which uses the high rpm turbo, not tried the mode, I'll give it ago

I managed far better with the mid range. I'll have to give it a try again later to see.

 

[cgg]

As I said I've not tried mid range so I'll give it ago in the morning, I just assumed it would be better as it gave more power. I could get into the 12's on every run not just the odd one

 

[Slash]

Which one?

You'll need a new transmission though if you switch turbos.

 

[CheahBro]

umm regular one not the anniversary one.
500hp 800kg i think 10.1's was my best

Thats the only issue, it'll just take time, but it'll be worth it if I have a car that is better than your and Kenny's

Yeah I'm getting 10.1s (low) with the 25th Anniversary. Higher power but 400kg heavier.
