- Many times when launching RWD cars you got to fishtail a little to keep them straight. Being 2 feet away from your competitor while your rear end is wiggling all around is not going to end well.
- I've always heard of the "No 3 wide" but I have played GT5 since it came out and never EVER saw a room where running 3 or more wide would consistently make lag. One of the biggest myths IMO.
That's like saying "The gasoline motor is cool and all, but I'll stick to my Mule because I'm used to it more"

If you want to drag on SSRX, go ahead. But a lot of us have invested time for tunes specific for track conditions on Indy. Ever since SSRX came out last game, people have been trying to convince us to move there. We prefer Indy because that's where we want to be. That being said, once the drag competitions start, chances are they'll be held at Indy.

In GT5 yes, but tunes now for GT6 are nowhere near as specific to Indy as they were in GT5. All you have to do is lengthen tranny/lose weight. Zero suspension modifications.

In GT5, everyone tuned on SSRX so no tunes were specific to Indy except for the people who refused to use Route X. This game people have tuned on this track specifically, to see which provides better pull and traction on this track. Suspension tunes are tweaked, just as ratios and ballast are adjusted.
Something that decimates on Indy might bog or over-rev on SSRX, and vice versa. I found that out on GT5 with certain cars that ran perfect on Route X but would bounce the limiter on Indy. It's not just transmission tuning, though. You can toggle ride height to reduce or improve traction to eliminate transmission changes if you really like your setup. Point being - we're comfortable doing what we've always been doing at our track. You can hire a defense attorney to prove your case, but you won't get the community to switch over.

I could care less as long as you're looking at my tail lights. I'll drag anywhere, Fuji, Indy, ssrx, ssr5 if it exists, ssr7, or the old one on monza.

easy because indy was the birth place for the drag racing scene in GT5 nuff said....
technically ssr7 waseasy because indy was the birth place for the drag racing scene in GT5 nuff said....
everyone was wowed by the layout of the track, long straights, tunnel...
then people started to look for a more accurate 1/4 mile and indy was born
tunnel tuners stayed, 1/4 tuners moved to indy

I just find SSRX plain and boring, like the feel of indy better. Thats just me.

When SSRX first came out that's where everyone went, including myself, but it seemed to me that the lack of a 2 lane wide strip and people running 5 or more wide caused more chaos than anything. Bad enough we get 1 jumper out of just 2 racers, sometimes running 5 wide would take forever to get a single race to work. I eventually went back to Indy, more organized there.
I've seen occasions where running 3 or more wide would cause players to lag out. The possibility of lag also seems to increase when there are more cars on my screen or in my vicinity, that seems to happen to me anyway.
Also, it's always a nice sunny day at Indy, SSRX seems dreary and bleak.

Yes but it seems hazy and just doesn't look much like a drag strip either, SSRX looks like an interstate.
I don't know, I just don't like it there.
At Indy its also easier to line up the cars evenly, just stop as your rear tires drop off the yellow paint, you can see the car drop if you look close.

for me since we are drag racing i prefer the closest thing to a strip and thats x.. 6.5 ft short of quarter is better then 40 feet at indy... and as for fish tailing on route x if you run 2 down the middle from 600-1000 you have no probs with fishtailing... and you have a actual finish line an start...
