TanerasDamn damn damn damn damn damn damn!
I have been looking for the Z28 for like 10 weeks and it wouldn't pop up for me but that was my plan for a FR car, nice times man
You wouldn't believe how long I spent trying out different configurations, tweaking the gear ratios, messing with suspension settings, etc. I was really hoping for 11's without N2O, but I just could not squeeze out that last little bit. 
Maybe I should add some weight to the back to get a little more grip off the line....
semvhuThanks, man!
Bah, I might as well stop there with the Z28. I'm disappointed that I couldn't hit 11's without spraying since Z28's are capable of 11's in the real world without breaking the bank, but I suppose those are still respectable times.
Time to find a 4WD car that no one else has tried.
And I better get my MR's lower, your right behind me.
TanerasMaybe I am too full of myself, but I think I can get the Z28 to win both FR w/ NOS and FR without NOS... Just gotta get a hold of one.
Cobra427, I'll try and get my eclipse GT down below those times
lol... yeah heres a crappy vid....semvhu11.052 in the RX? Bah! I'm almost a half second behind.
. Also I have one more thing to do to my Impreza which should place it in the 9 second club Few adjustments on my eclipse and I should retake cobra427 in the FF area, and my MR is holding stong thus far.semvhuOkay, here's my first forray into this thing. I'm a GM fan, so I figured I'd start with a Camaro for my FR entry. I've no idea overall how this stands, but I know some of the other FR cars have done better.

Too bad I can't find a Buick GNX in the used car lots.I guess that thing never even shows up there. Anyway, after spending ALL freaking night on this, maybe I'll try an MR tomorrow.
And I may do the same thing with the Mustang later tonight as well.
semvhuInteresting concept about comparing the Camaro and the Mustang. 👍 However, you might want to spend some of that cash on the Camaro, get the same setup for yourself, and see which one you're faster with so the issue doesn't come down to different drivers. I'm quite positive I'm not the fastest dragster around.
Given the times, I suppose you're using the new 2005 Mustang GT as opposed to the Cobra R, right? I may have to compare the '05 GT with the latest model Camaro SS in the game. I bet that would be a tight race.
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. 👍DRIVEN -USA-now thats cool - a drag race w/ limitations
the only prob. i see for me in the rules is the oil change being figured in as part of the cost of the car $50?? - it's a maintanace issue like getting your car washed.
bindidotAttention to detail, thats me...lol, I should have specified
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.
