PRD2BDF Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 How does that car beat all the other cars. Is 1200 hp just "bullshitting" them and actually makes more than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power under the curve and it works better. Auto car with a turbo will also stay in boost between shifts. It's the same reason my car was working over other cars with 100-200 less HP.

Got-Boost? Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 he jumped the start on every race except the white lambo How do you jump the start on a Green light? It's his fault he's the first to hit the gas.... :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I agree. I would have done the same. Green light=punch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Gold star for you sir! Some people get hung up on dyno numbers and ignore the dyno data. I used to get a lot of crap because how well my car would run at the track vs. the mods and dyno numbers I had. When the torque curve is more like a dome, and your converter/gears match up well, you can 60 and run out the end well without needing supra power figures.

ImUrOBGYN Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 How does that car beat all the other cars. Is 1200 hp just "bullshitting" them and actually makes more than that? There's so much more than hp #'s. Not only is the info quoted below a reason but for other reasons, as well. Driver Usable hp, ie; traction, power curve/torque curve Gearing - transmission, rear end, tire size Auto vs Manual Weight of vehicles Suspension setup Whoever got the jump first helps obviously Every single thing that happens physically when you hit the gas is due to power from your car. This includes even the flex of your suspension, bushings, frame flex, motor mount/motor movement, etc. Every little bit that doesn't go to the pavement or is being used to put said power to the ground is a waste of power created by your engine. Of course, now we're getting into smaller shit. Anyway, there's just so much that goes into it. This is just off the top of my head. This is why letting someone know your hp isn't neccessarily showing all your cards. Oh, let's not forget the guy said the power was easily adjustable given the race he was in. Nice thing about boost and/or nitrous. Power under the curve and it works better. Auto car with a turbo will also stay in boost between shifts.

BigOxley Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 i thought the idea was you don't "go" until you reach the light. no? he was in it a couple hundred feet before the light. i've never roll-raced. but isn't the idea both cars maintain a certain speed then go? not one car going 60 and the other (T/A) going 80mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just gets weird cause people will get to the speed as fast as they can or somethin and the other will be slower, then one will have to catch up, then say one tries to brake boost and falls back, it just ends up becoming a mess.

Sounds like the problem of the slower person... Be a better husler.. after all it is RACING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By now they know which guys play these games for an edge,....otherwise it's really not that hard or bad to line up and punch it when the light triggers...
