I have a Mitsubishi GTO with a bunch of hidden parts that just so happens to be just slightly faster than a very well-tuned LMQ, so that's my 'hacker test' car. Caught a hacked evo with it just yesterday.
But when I'm not using it for hackers, I still think it would be nice to use it from time to time. I personally think it's a shame that nobody makes 1/4 mile lobbies for 'Stage 5' cars, and there's no chance I'd be able to compete in the hacked drag lobbies full of 100k hp X1s.
While I don't think these Stage 5 cars should be allowed to compete with legit cars (like I said, my GTO can beat incredibly well-tuned LMQs and could possibly beat veyrons with a bit of luck, no amount of tuning on a legit car is going to fix that), I do think Stage 5 cars should be viewed as a 'legitimate' class.

Only 5 out of a total of 30 people want the parts. So in turn 5 / 30 = 1 / 6 = 16.66666666667 %
i have read everything pertaining to whether we should try make it a habit of using hidden parts. recently i was in a time attack competition to see who could have the fastest evo, if we used parts there was no problem. i didn't want to race that way because i wanted more guys to take part for the one we had before with a dc5rm guys thought me along with a friend were hacking we proved otherwise. when i went to set my evo time my heart burned to see two guys evo's doing 5+seconds my friend was one his evo had about 31ks. where me along with others doing 9+. i don't have much problem using parts but not when we'll be having serious drags where people get emotional when they lose. i would vote for normal game cars for this one not because i have a big problem with parts. also i would like to race some of you fast guys to see how my drag cars fare off.

I hate how its come to this, but why not.
I don't think I will be using them for awhile.
Ryz gave me some brakes that I have even yet to install lmao.
Im afraid if I do, it'll get patched and I'll lose my tune.

I don't have any parts because to me is cheating!! I don't mind if someone else is using them because they want a ZR1 to keep up with a ACR but I will never use them and I really don't think is right.
I seen guys that use them for pinks and don't even be honest or man enough to say that they are using them so thats why I get mad at this things, when people are not honest.

I've been around for a long while. I like what modding brought. When at Indy you looked around. Corvette, mustang, supra, evo, civic, you name it we knew what it would run. It's always fun.. to an extent..but it was nothing new. And for us that have been running the same cars for 3 years now. It's great to be able to do what you want to it.
2.11 in my eyes was an honest "cheating". If you were a legit name and you had a hacked car you were in a hacked room. You were trying to get the most with the least. I loved running 1479hp limited rooms, running 5.2's with only 1479 was an awesome feeling. With it being stable
2.12/13 has cut down the modding alot and left most people with the feeling of having no true sense of a self modded car, atleast beyond the games limit. Now that hp modding and grip modifying have been nulled I can see the temptation to move on and make a valid looking car with a true top tune but adding those hidden parts to get the edge in a non hacked room. I'm sure there's even well respected draggers that have a car like this. And with such a distant and unknown barrier with online gaming... You can get away with it. Since everyone has the same intentions in dragging there's a need to be respected in this game. I don't take any race serious like I did back before modding. You just don't know. Unless you have a true friendship with the people you've meet through this game, you don't know. No one has a reason to tell you what they've modified or added. It could be two unmodified cars and lag was the cause. It could of been one of them had there car hex'd and parts installed. You just don't know anymore.
I say let the creations run. There's plenty of rooms with the right.. and wrong people in it just find the ones that make you happy and have the people who play like you do.
