boomboy, try lowering the spring rate on the front, and maxing out the shock rebound in the front. Then on the right rear stiffen up, both the spring and the shock; left rear do the opposite. That should help you launch, lower your 60 foot time considerably.

Well it would on a real Camaro, but there is no telling exactly how PD programed it. I can't test it out for myself, I loaned my copy of GT4 out.

Setting the suspension that way will help fight against, body twist from torque and give you better weight transfer and traction. The pic is of Nick Micale's low 10 sec turbo buick, and shows the kind of forces you will be fighting.

I knew it'd hit 11's good work. 👍

Now figure out which settings in the posi are closest to welding the spider gears. I wish I could help, but my nephew is hard to say no too. I may have to buy another copy of this game.
 
this is it!

put simply, no.it may be quick for a skyline, i havnt checked, but my personal best 4wd with NOS is 9.514.
 
In did it in an '00 impreza, about 340-350 bhp, if u want a few tips, lots of ballast right over the rear, soft suspension, no camber, high ride height.

oh yes, and, use an impreza :s lol

357 HP @ 6400 RPM
360 Lb.Ft. @ 3600 RPM

Best E/T: 12.871 @ 114 MPH

No TCS and apparently no nitrous

Pretty much set up a drag suspension setting with super soft springs and shocks in the rear. Played with the front a bit too. Ride hight was 100mm up front and 145mm in the rear. Transmission setup was a 1 auto setting with 3.62 (stock) gears out back. Had to launch in 3rd. gear in order to even attempt gripping the track. No weight changes.

Coming up, i'm going to try playing with the final gear ratios and and the others accordingly in order to launch in lower gears with better traction. I'll also try a few things with the weight. I might trade the exhaust for a less expensive system and grab a lighter flywheel. Too bad you can't change tire pressure and such...Well, for now, that's where she stands. She's a pretty husky car at 1328 Kg's being only 2 wheel drive, but she's got potential. I hope to update this with faster times soon!

P.S. The racing tires shown in the pictures were installed purely for show and were not used while racing. Just in case people started asking questions...

boomboy and luvAMG, those are some good times. Looks like I need to get back to retesting my Camaro and getting back at the top again. :dopey: If that's even possible for me... :nervous:

I'm still waiting for someone to beat my best FF times. If you're curious, note that my best times with the Eclipse came with very few power adders other than NOS. Using better tires, flywheels, and clutches with leftover cash for small power adders seemed to be my best bet. boomboy, I'm with you on the Acura. As soon as I find a cheap one (if it's even available), I'm going to try to break my own record with that bad boy. :) 👍


On a side note, I copied my save game over to a spare memory card so as not to mess with my original game. After doing many MANY drag strip runs on the new save game, my PS2 has a tendency now to lock up after exiting the drag races on the save game. I've tried it on my original save without the problem. After doing a few runs and exiting the drag race screen, 9 times out of 10 now the PS2 will just get to the black screen that normally has a little timer on it and just sit there. My only choice is to reset the PS2. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Maybe I need to scour some of the other forums to see what's going on with that.

Keep up the good work on those 1/4 mile times, guys! 👍

Last night's work:

Camaro Z28 $12,055
Oil $50
FC Trans $0
FC Suspension $0
NA level 2 $12,500
Chip $1,500
Weight Reduction 1 $1,200
Sports Clutch $1,700
Semi-Racing Flywheel $600
Total $29,605

Horsepower: 404
Time 12:411

The biggest surprise on this was that I needed to go with TCS. I thought I'd be able to do this with no aids, but I spun WAY too much when starting out (even in 2nd gear). Once I hit 50MPH, TCS is through with its job.

I see some better times for this particular car with a supercharger, I just didn't want to go that route. My loss. :D
 
somebody already took my idea of a '00 impreza my best run with one was 8 even, but that had a big turbo... any all wheel drive car, or any high horse car should do


i say we make a 50k and a 100k range, get some really fast times

So start a new thread! There's no reason not to, and there's sure to be lots of entries! Sure, you'd need to keep up the leaderboard, but I'm sure you could do it. :D

I'd like a 50k limit :)
Click to expand...

i think u guys r loosing the point of this thread. its to see how fast ppl whith very little money can go! if you go raising the limit, then the skill and fun factor are lost.
 
I don't think that's losing sight of anything. Having the $30k limit is really cool, but I think other price categories are just fine for some varied competitions. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing a $15k limit, $50k limit, $100k limit, and unlimited brackets just for kicks. There are plenty of cars in the game that would be fun to try, but because of their cost, we can't use them in this particular competition.

Branching out into other price categories would be fun, IMHO, and would spice things up a bit.
 
i'd like to see a $15k class. to keep is more focused twards driver skill.

of corse i would have to take part in a 50k and even a 100k class but i think i would have more fun in the 15k class.... just my thoughts.
 
Maybe once they're done at http://www.gt4times.com/ they'll have a drag racing setup. If not, maybe we can suggest something there.

Or we can just start another thread. I'd start a $15k thread, but I don't know that I'd have the time to keep up with it.

Now, should I do some more 1/4 mile runs, or should I go to bed? Decisions, decisions. :crazy:
