Nos is killing the drag community

[f_399]

Nitrous and slicks play a big part in real drag racing. So if there were drag slicks, it would be cheating to use them?

Y'all just need to move on, its part of the game. If you don't want nitrous, should have stayed with GT5.

Its like old people not willing to change with time. Just because you are used to GT5 tuning you don't want to do something different.

Run nitrous vs. nitrous and na/boost vs na/boost

I personally tune for both.

People who use nitrous aren't necessarily noobs, its a whole different tune to learn.

Its already obvious there will be 2 sides to this. I have seen rooms already split between nitrous and no nitrous. I go and compete with both. Real tuners will strive to have both the fastest nitrous/ no nitrous tune.

Other then that, it makes the game more fun. Running nitrous low hp cars vs. no nitrous high hp cars. Closer to real life.

It's a cheap way of being "fast", it takes absolutely no skill.

How about you make a tune for nitrous and see if it takes no skill? A good nitrous tune will still beat a bad nitrous tune.

In fact, nitrous is harder to tune and run. Some cars, you have to modulate when to spray.

Don't talk about no skill using nitrous, BS.

but all it does is give kids an easy way of winning, without any effort of tuning the car. So its effect is the same. And we, who like to tune our cars like to have the effort pay out. Whatever, this seems like an endless tunel, I'm done.

And I cannot possibly see how beating someone with a tune is the same as beating someone with NOS.

A car with nitrous or without still needs to be tuned properly.

A car tuned for no nitrous that sprays is slower then a car tuned specifically for spray.

Oh please.. Comparing Drag & Circuit tunes is pointless. You asking him to run one of your drag tuned cars on 1/4 is just as bad as him challenging your car 2 laps against his track tuned car. Even if your cars did well drag or track, it still doesnt solve any altercations between which kind of racing is "Faster" Just stop with all the stupid his vs. hers malarky.

There's altercation as to which kind of racing is faster?
Is there a circuit that can be completed in under 10 seconds?

Your 2 bobs worth, wasn't really worth 2 bob.

In my opinion a lot of tuning goes into both drag and track racing.

I've witness over the past few years since gt5 been out guys trail and erra like he11 to get the fastest cars out.

Same goes for track racing as you have to not only tune but tune for every track in the game . Example a tune for la sarth which is a speed track might not be the best tune to have on the nur24 as you could be all over the place in constant tight corners.

No need to have drag and track guys getting into it. They both tune like he11.

 

[Shells N Cheese]

How much tuning goes into a drag race, really? LSD and Transmission? Compared to track racing it doesn't even come close.

I tune for both and to tell you the truth more tuning goes into drag, I was huge into circuit racing when GT5 first came out but then it got boring so I tried something new and fell in love with drag and a small amount of drifting.

I love this thread, purely because I've never seen anyone argue about something that isn't even properly in the game.

If anything the people getting all butthurt over nos are the ones killing the "community".

I don't understand why circuit guys who know NOTHING about this type of racing, are trying to have an input or an opinion.

 

[Downhill Dino]

@mazdaman What exactly is wrong with that? Especially when there really isn't much to it in GT6.

Personally, boo nitrous, another factor another difficulty. Rules and regulations works but not when half the community (estimated sample) uses it.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I meant drag racing in general man...

 

[EuroTuned]

Listen NOS is used in real life by tons of people man and you literally are a noob if your saying nos is for people you cant tune.... Nos is ment to make you go faster and adds a little more calculation into yours trans and suspension if anything it makes you better to lean how to use it, tune for it, and know when to use it in races such nos points everyone on here needs to stop acting like clowns over a game feature....

 

[THA JABBERWOCKY]

The people butt hurt just want to find a decent room to drag in that dont have kids spaying and lying about not having nos.

We also want decent tuners and down to earth people who want to do the same when we make a room without nos used. Not make a room and be waiting for eons.

If friends are not on to invite then were screwed. Not everyone is on gt6 at the same time ya know.

Yeah I'm butthurt because bigshots wanna spray all day and brag about it. May douche it up and post it on youtube.

 

[EuroTuned]

Yeah but do you not understand the point of drag racing ..... To be faster then the next guy dude thats why nos is good if you cant beat it then buy nos and tune and get even faster if you wanna be slow be my guest

Your 2 bobs worth, wasn't really worth 2 bob.

By altercation I meant arguing & bickering by users thinking one type of racing is better than another, & completing a circuit under 10 seconds? What are you getting at?

This ^^ this is exactly why nitro shouldn't be in the game, we all know that the wannabes will lie and when rooms are made with nitro restricted then everybody will leave and at that point there is no point in even playing GT6 online because there are few people that will join a nitro free room. Hopefully in the future PD takes nitro out of the game.

You don't have to buy nos to be the fastest guy. I'd never tune on something that's temp and refill.

At the end of the day I guess you'll just have non-nos tuners and nos tuners.

I call it the "best class of tuners"....oh and "the other class of tuners".

 

[f_399]

Nitrous is $100k with free unlimited refills. That's a great deal.

Fastest all motor and fastest nitrous.

Don't act like the nitrous tuners are outsiders or the odd ones out.

Nitrous tuners don't just need nitrous to be the fastest, they need a good TUNE.

Same thing as non nitrous-tuners, your tune makes you a good tuner, not that turbo or exhaust you have because those are readily available for everyone... just like nitrous.

Hacking in GT5 to get super soft tires is cheating, not nitrous.


Temporary?

If you know real drag racing, some of those motors are good for 1(usually more) run and have to be rebuilt after.

Pretty much sums up what us "butthurt" people are complaining about. I'm sure tuning with NOS can be competitive, but most of the rooms right now are full of kids who think all they need is a bottle to be fast. And of course none of them say weather they're spraying or not. Kinda hard to tune when the car your racing can run a 10 second or 8 second quarter with the push of a button. Even in real life I don't care for it much.

Using NOS is like Viagra; it's impressive, but temporary. At the end of the day (or night), you're bottle's empty and you still got a slow car.

Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?

A permanent boner will be awkward and can't be healthy.

Don't know about you, but I like to run "all motor" 👍

 

[f_399]

Didn't say I was but either one gets the job done

All the whiners, if you get beat by a nitrous tune, step up and make a better nitrous tune. If they are noobs and kids, that should be pretty easy to do... if you consider your self a good tuner.

Scared of change? You can still play GT5.

Read all of the post that were mentioned by circuit guys and you'll see why. .........

 

[Downhill Dino]

@mazdaman I saw over-exaggerating of the simplicity of drag racing. Let me go back to a questionable post you made.

Drag racing tuning is actually much harder than circuit.

Like, what.

The drag racing transmissions are actually beating circuit guys times I've proved it in gt5.

Now I'm actually curious about this one, do know where you posted your findings?

[/quote]Also with that being said there is a lot that you circuit guys don't know that we drag guys know and discovered.[/quote]

What would that be? Do share your hidden wisdom.

I do. I don't even make another tune, I just equip nitrous and beat them by trainlengths even though I top out halfway down the track. Thing is we only have 3 tuning sheets. Right now I have one for quarter, one for 3k and one for circuit. Unless PD adds more sheets, I don't want to buy and tune 2 of each car just for which "scenarios" I run into.

It's useless to argue which is "harder". Both require different skills and have unique challenges. However one thing is clear, in drag racing your tune is much more IMPORTANT than a tune in circuit racing. If you have a bad tune in drag racing, apart from your tree, you are going to lose. But in circuit racing a skilled driver with a stock car will usually beat a poor driver with a good tune.

I'm sure this sentence applies to drag racing as well.

It's a great deal for outsiders who was butthurt for not being able compete with regular tuners back in gt5.

Nitrous tuners don't need nos to be faster huh? Well if they are good in that case than why do they have it? Most of gt5 regulars are complaining about it, don't use it, yet a lot of them are considered some of the fastest out.

I never said using it was cheating, just that some let it get to their heads as an E-P3nis extension.

I don't care who uses it. Just don't be all in my ear when you lie about having nos and beating a well tuned car I had and won with earlier.

Example: I tuned one of the new Shelby mustangs gt500 13-900+ hp, a guy came into my room with a lotus spirit, I ask if he had nos because really who races a gt500 with a lotus, he lied, I treed, he then zooms by and beat me by like 4 cars. Earlier i ran the same cars against a few good tuners and ran strong. I kiked that sob just for lying.

 

[Harry6784]

Try joining a 1/4 room and see how that theory holds up 👍

 

[f_399]

Run a real nitrous tune and that's where you will see the difference. I mainly run 3k and its almost a 20mph difference or 1 gear.

3 tuning sheets don't bother me because money and cars are not an issue anymore. Whats more annoying is not being able to copy sheets.

 

[Downhill Dino]

@Harry6784 Why wouldn't it work? I've been in quite a number of "1/4 rooms" back in GT5.

Then you haven't won many races in GT5. The only thing the driver has control over when drag racing is tree, and shift points. You can have the reactions of a housefly and shift at all the right spots but if you're suspension is off you'll be behind before you hit 3rd.

 

[Downhill Dino]

But the other player doesn't drive all that well, so what does that account for? And it would also depend on the cars used, so we'll say the same cars. But my point still stands.
