Drag Racing Challenge ROUND 13: 3 Cylinders Light Weight Sport Budget! Deadline 15/11/2016

[Nomade0013]

This will be how it should have been, but “276hp” is to annoying, so I approached to 280hp máx for real.

@KLinardo, I know that Boss Motorsport can do a japanese rigid rear axle V6 alla Mustang!

@one85db

@HighOctaneLove track pick is yours as the champion’s pick. Congrats!

Yay! Thanks for picking my entrant @phale, the race track I nominate is… Haruna Downhill

[Puffster]

Not that I have any issues whatsoever with bends, but I thought this was supposed to be about straight line speed?

[KLinardo]

@HighOctaneLove

the race track I nominate is… Haruna Downhill

How is that a drag race, exactly?

@Darkshine5 send me the specs.

[Darkshine5]

Yeah sorry but that’s not gonna work maybe down the track in the HLC but not here.

@Darkshine5

A track and distance must be selected for each round by the Champions pick and displayed in the rules for each round, if the Champions pick does not specify which track and what distance they would wish the challenge to be held on, the Racemaster can decide to A: Choose the track and distance themselvesB: The Racemaster can give the option of track to the Champion.(tracks can be found at the bottom of this page)

So you can only pick from the tracks listed in the top post

[DeadBuckInc]

Yeah, a downhill would be fun, but not in a drag race.

LOL, I forgot that this is a drag racing competition!

In that case I select… Willowbank 1/4 mile!!!

Although I do suggest that, for Japan, touge is the cultural equivalent of drag racing!

[Puffster]

Already at sub 4.25, would’ve been fun, but in another round then

[Darkshine5]

it happens lol I call them my blonde moments.
And you also get to pick or change a rule as well don’t forget lol

@Darkshine5

Ooohh… What to change?

I know! Change maximum horsepower to 400hp but the ad/blurb for the car MUST state that it has 276PS!

This will more accurately reflect the JDM scene in the 90’s,

[abg7]

If I enter this round, I will have a tough time deciding between a turbo or atmo six-cylinder engine - I’m not sure if a four-cylinder engine will be sufficient for my needs.

[Nomade0013]

Hahaha, nice change, @HighOctaneLove!

I forgot to set the fuel, I thought about premium (95 RON) what you guys think?

[abg7]

I agree. We can claim that our cars have “just” 280PS, but our real outputs can be more than that.

[Spool]

Japanese tractor fuel is generally 95RON - 98 is commonplace, or higher.

[Nomade0013]

Since we don’t have rotaries, I’ll go with 4-banger turbo without a doubt!

[Puffster]

Derp, I’ve already been working under the assumption not mentioned, not regulated… But still early so sure, just as long as it’s same for all

[Nomade0013]

Ok, so take it free! You can use any fuel you want! From airplane fuel to beer!

[HighOctaneLove]

@Spool

Japanese tractor fuel is generally 95RON - 98 is commonplace, or higher.

I second this; 400 limited edition WRX’s in the late 90’s had to be recalled because the JDM tune was too aggressive for Aussie 98RON. Turned out they were tuned for 100RON which is an expensive pump available fuel in Japan!

So I think leaving the fuel requirement as free is a great idea as it will allow for the best flexibility for entrants

[Puffster]

Agreed. Now I’m just waiting for that annoying call that someone made a 10 sec car when I’m still stuck in the mid 11’s

[Darkshine5]

Not quite ten 11.09

Edit: now that is B.B.B.B.B.B.BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSTTT.
