So I went out with my Enzo the other day and dragged some other Enzos. But whenever I get off the line (TCS was disabled for this lobby), I get massive wheelspin but the other guy launches clean. How?!?

Car Specs:
~ HP: 894
~ Tires: RS
~ Top Speed: 184

Track was Indy Road Course.
 
LSD settings? Easing into the throttle instead of just smashing it?

I don't know, these are just ideas.
 
OH geez, you can overcook the tires, especially on the ovals really easy IMHO. I watched someone in my rearview mirror on Daytona Super Speedway, during a standing start, overcook the tires & spin out, in a Honda Beat kei car with 98hp/700kg, sports soft tires. :D

At 894hp, I don't care what kind of tires you have equipped... Yeah, throttle modulation FTW, on standing start.

But I'm no expert on drag racing at all. So I couldn't tell you how much LSD might play into that. (As I would never tune the LSD specifically for launching from a standing start, as I don't do drag races, and I tune the LSD for an entire race on a whole track.)

So I would recommend checking out the Tuning section of the forum, and search for "drag tunes".
If the Enzo is popular in online drag racing, I'm sure someone has posted a recommended set-up for the Enzo as a drag racer.
 
What gear are you launching in? Using the high powered cars it sometimes can be easier to take off in 2nd or even 3rd if you have it tuned correctly. You said your top speed is 184 which means you probably have your car geared fairly low making it much easier to spin the tires.

Tuned my transmission so when I launch in second it hits high RPMs without hitting the limiter. But even with that other Enozos get me on the start :(

I don't think tires are the problem as even when they are fresh they still spin.

Never messed with LSD. Might want to look into that :)





Thanks for the ideas guys!
