Street Racing in 2 Player Mode

Street Racing in GT4 (well kinda)

My friends and I started ‘street racing’ in GT back when GT3 first came out, and we have gotten really into it w/ rules and stuff…it’s actually pretty cool, and we race for money! hehe
We all come up w/ good races before we get together and build up cars. Like Honda Wars, Stock Muscle car vs. Modified Honda, Luxury Car Battles, FWD, RWD, AWD races, anything we can think of. Or we just pick cars that we have in our garage and race what we think is a good match.
We normally race on Mid Field or clubmen Stage 5, for a ¼ mile.
We either go heads up or spot each other out a few cars, and we race for a $ dollar or two.
We start off the clock, or a friend flags.
It’s fun to see who can make the faster car then race em, and then watch the replay (on split screen, damn! I want full screen replays!)
It’s just like real street racing, but its on a race track.
Good times good times!
I might post some videos of good races later on.
Does anyone else do this???

Try it out, 👍

btw, not sure if this is the right spot...?

Well, drag racing on a public road is street racing, doing it on a race track is just drag racing

How do you know where the 1/4 mile mark is? It sounds pretty cool, though personally I've never taken much to drag racing, it's over too quickly and the skills involved in cornering and controlling a car for a diverse lap interest me more than shifting skill (which, in GT4, is pretty easy to do).

How do you know where the 1/4 mile mark is? I get a car that runs a consistant 1/4 mile, then take it to a track, and run from one spot (use some sort of landmark; under a bridge, by a sign, and thats the start) then I run the car and when i get to my trap speed i know thats the end of the 1/4 mile, you just have to find a straight -away on a track that has a 1/4 mile stretch that starts and ends at some sort of landmark.

And i know its drag racing, but we do it street racing style; we dont always race heads up, we spot each other out, we bet for a few dollars, and dont tell the other person whats done to the car. It's just fun to change the game up a little bit and drift or 'street race w/ friends', so your not always just road racing.

And i know there is no skill in shifting, but theres some skill in launching, esp cars that like to spin the tires, *we race w/ no traction*, and Its more of the tuning skills that make it fun, gearing, suspension, tire, mods, ect.

If you don't restrict tuning options, don't you just end up with one car that's far superior to the other? Or does anything go?
