Challenge accepted. It begins.

Attention to detail, thats me...lol, I should have specified Yes, it was the '05 I tested. You make a good point semvhu, and I'm probably not the best dragster out there either. Wiith times so close I can imagine half the people doing the same test will have the Camaro coming out on top and the other half have the Mustang. Different driving techniques/skills and setups are sure to have the 2 cars running back and forth wins. Not exactly real life, but interesting to see how the 2 cars compete in PD's eyes.

It's very interesting indeed. We should have our own sub-thread. As for PD's views on things, they gimped American cars. Have you SEEN the torque and power curves in-game for the Z06? It's shaped like a frickin' toothpick with only about 150 ft*lb of torque available at 1000 RPM. That is SO not anything like a real-world Z06 with no less than 320 ft*lb of torque on tap at low RPM.

Anyway, gimpness aside, I think I'll head home from work early today....

That couldn't have been achieved without my imported swedish driver. Imported from his house about 21miles away, but still. Oh and it ten to 1 in the morning. It took 3 hours.

My fully tuned SVT will hit sub 10's (9.5xx to be exact) with its racing setup. I probably could get it in the 8 second club if I set it on drag settings...

Fully tuned? as in, hundreds of thousands pumped into it? erm? 30,000 real life limit. i aint no millionaire in real life.

Im sure an F1 car could get some low times too, but it costs more than 30,000.

If you got an SVT and 'fully tuned' it for under 30k however, congratulations.

[cobra427]

well i dont have the full stats typed up and im not gonna cause the times arnt worth it .... i really had hope for this car....


1996 Corvette Grand Sport (C4)
Cost 16,064
Mileage 38185.7 Miles
...


only had a bit over 16k to blow so ....

469HP with Supercharger no Nos 12.513 .... not the best and thats down from 12.708


386HP with Racing chip ... Stage one NA .... Nitro .....single plate clutch ... semi racing flywheel .... only got a 12.043 down from 12.336


i could have done a stg 1 weight and got some decent times but i woulden of been able to do Nos and no Nos

Edit: I forgot to include the oil change and weight reduction prices. Woops!

[oil_injected]

ANYONE know the diff between a Subaru WRX STi and a Subaru WRX ProDrive?

i just saw the '01 Subaru Impreza WRX STi PRODRIVE in the used car line up, and i was wondering what the "prodrive" was all about.

i assume that it has some thing to do with the 4WD system? maybe some kind of ASM or something.

anyways if someone knows what the hell it is drop a lline and clue me in, thanks.

[letdown427]

could you not use that 1362 to buy a weight reduction? just helpful tip

[oil_injected]

yea or drop down to a semi race flywheel and get a stage one clutch with the $1300 and the $400 saved with the flywheel swap?


just another option

Yeah the clutches and flywheels make a huge difference in times....

just tried my 1998 Audi S4 out .... was my fav car in GT3 or was that GT2.... bah ..... i got a 8.4xx with nos 8.7xx without and if you didnt notic no its not in the budget lol

[letdown427]

done it. record is now 10.972 i believe. view my earlier post for proof in the pictures.

[smellysocks12]

I'm thinking about getting into this competition as well, but is it allowed to BUY all components for a car, but not install them while racing? I don't think that makes any difference? I want to experiment with different exhausts for example.

[cobra427]

i dont see why not aslong as you avoid the ones you cant undo and provide a list of the parts used

Ok, I get it, so a 30k rollcage is a no-no. Lets see what the used car lot has in store for me..

[letdown427]

Can someone start a 50k thread? io tried to, but maybe im not an important enough member to start something so similar to an existing thread. why not a gt4 drag forum to match the drift forum? As a preliminary for the 50k limit, i used a 97 impreza and got under 10seconds, 9.972. im sure better times could be achieved with some more concentrated buying etc. details can be posted if this turns out to be a good time.

if taneras used his subaru in the 50k race he could prolly get low 9s maby
