Dragging Age Group??

I remember when my father told me that when he was at School in Australian the teachers rocked up in 351ci ford falcon's and mach 1's lol

Dude my life would be complete if that happened. My dad was born near the end of the era, in 1969. The best year of muscle I think, second best year was 1970.


Funny how he then has the same motor you mentioned here (actually 2) built and installed on his truck XD. And out of a Mustang with Mustang parts with some aftermarket lol. Muscle cars were the supercars of today back then.

69/70 really stand out for the muscle era but 65-68 have there own highlights.The GT-500 Shelbys started in 67 with the 427 motor,68 and 69 Chevelles with the 427 were great too.Also the 68/69 hemi Roadrunners,i have fond memories of seeing all those cars running around the motor city.

Im saying anyone can take a fully tuned car and have a good competitive race

No they can't, otherwise both the tuning and racing series forums wouldn't be there as everyone would be equals and suspension tunes wouldn't be important as they can just pile on turbos and take off weight.

All the years where great, and had their moments. It just ticks me off that they'd use a Windsor in the new GT500, put a 427 back in it. Yeah 351's are great engines, but for real? That's not what made the GT500 famous.

Exactly. In "Tuning Series" people fine tune their cars. But in regular racing rooms it is a different story. Try taking one of your cars to a drag room and you'll see even n00bs have to tune a little...


I'm NOT saying dragging is better, but rather that the quality of your tune is exploited much easier in drag racing than in circuit racing. .

Yeah ,the 351 cleveland was a better motor than the w,the mach 1's had both.A mustang that kinda gets overlooked is the 71 351cj,had more power than the mach.I wish they would put a boss 302 & 429 in the game.

In both regular racing rooms and dragging rooms, I usually enter with a stock tune and win, however I'm presuming that would be nearly impossible in either on GTP and that I would have to have a nearly tin-top tune to beat you guys.(I'm presuming, you could all be terrible for all I know, unlikely though.)

I know you ain't saying, you said it's more difficult to tune for drag racing then to have a race on a track with turns. It's not really though. Have a look through these to see how.

Anyway, I'm going to stop arguing with you, as it's off-topic.

ur racing and joinin the wrong rooms

Never found real pros at drag racing in public lobbies, except for Mafiaboy and his crew a couple of times a few months ago where I planned on using a tank car for the 200 through the tunnel challenge(the plan was good till I realized the tank car couldn't be tuned) but public lobbies amongst the majority are pretty lousy skill level and I could be beating supercars in my IS-F.

Not joining the wrong racing lobbies, even the ones marked pro only aren't that skillful most of the time.(they are at least clean though:tup

 

[Helldriver2448]

I'm turning 21 this month, and I love tuning up muscle for drags. Anyone wanna race??

Then obviously you haven't been to many lobbies...

 

[Snow_leopard]

i have to agree, half of the lobbies are a waste of time either noobs or laggers

I probably encounter a good (at least half the people can tune) room about a couple times A MONTH.

18 and I've been doing it since I was 8 or 9. Kinda. Only got srs late in GT4, and now I'm bad at it in GT5 because there's no way to really tell whether you've gotten faster/slower outside of running against a clone of your car.
