i know that result was not very good
i will use rx7 in the future...

Far better than I can manage dude! Pretty dull shot tho... guess it gets the point across but. They actually rekn that the S2000 is the best car for drag - better acceleration than the RX - whaddayrekn??

It sure is faster in the first secs...

I beat my time: 0:21.84 with a Skyline

Nice one dude - it's tough to get under 22sec IMO..

Post by **TheStig** » 28 Feb 2004, 22:38

you need to tap the nirto, not hold it... and don't use it in first gear... only get a wheel spin from it

FlamingNeon417 · Post by **FlamingNeon417** » 28 Feb 2004, 23:23

If you were talking to me, I do tap the nitro and don't use it in first gear. But, do you tap the nitro as fast as you can or is there some good set speed to do it at? And is to "redline it" to hold your gas all the time when getting ready to go? Because I do that too and can't seem to get under the 22 mark except when I get really lucky. Please tell me.

sure here we go...

I recently got low 20's so 20.5 etc on highway:

try to get a perfect start, is dificult with keyboard but can be done. just trie to tal the gas around ther perfect shift point at the start... often get a perfect or good shift, after shifting to second gear tan nitro fast to get up your gears fast.. before you aproach the perfect shift line stop nitro and wait til Perfect and shift, and short nitro taps again, till next gear...until you reach 6th gear and around 350 KM/h (dunno if you use MPH but than around 215 MPH) and this wil be just under the redline in the SKYLINE

keep driving till you go downhill at the last part and and use the remaning nitro.... (really last moment else engine blows(to soon does not matter if you hear the engine blow sound as you finished...

)

hope to be helpfull here..

hey just wondering, does anyone like my avatar?

FlamingNeon417 · Post by **FlamingNeon417** » 29 Feb 2004, 04:17

Hey TheStig, thanks for the tips. They helped me surpass my old record. It improved like this:

21.84
21.66
21.63
21.59
21.52
21.24
21.20
21.13
***21.07***

It really helped. Thanks. Hey, do you have tips on speed? It also worked pretty good on speed but no records were broken. Thanks once more!

Hmm, well I don't get it then - I'm pretty much already using your technique Stig - it's much easier to get the perfect launch with the PS2 controller and I adopted the N2O tap technique a while back, but still don't go below 22sec. Guess I just gotta practice...

On the speed side I do ok tho - FlamingNeon here's my tips, dunno whether i'm giving you anything new or not:

The key to max speed is drafting - you need to conserve maybe half of your N2O and work it so that another car ends up a ways ahead of you at around the 3/4 mark. At around that point, get behind him and you'll see the drafting numbers start to climb. Punch the ntirous and hold at that point and you'll end up with phenomenal speed. If you time everything just right, you'll come out of his slipstream a litle before the finish and go around him to win, just as your engine blows.

And oh, btw - like the sig. Up yours too!!

FlamingNeon417 · Post by **FlamingNeon417** » 29 Feb 2004, 04:44

lol thanks. i've done drafting before and got from like 50 to 70 in a circuit race but have never done it in drag. i'm gonna try it later tonight. i might post my speed later but i dunno. sounds like a plan to me!!

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 29 Feb 2004, 04:45

Glad I could help mate! What gets me is that now you're gonna use my advice and end up doing better than I can!!

FlamingNeon417 · Post by **FlamingNeon417** » 29 Feb 2004, 04:49

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 29 Feb 2004, 05:03

Ok, I can live with dat!! Let's agree on the fact that we both suck, big time!!

FlamingNeon417 · Post by **FlamingNeon417** » 29 Feb 2004, 06:03

I think im pretty good at drag, but i cant compete with the people that get sub 19's. Heres the fastest time that i have taken a screenie for. My fastest offline time is like 19.37 so not much better

FlamingNeon417 · Post by **FlamingNeon417** » 29 Feb 2004, 06:35

hey rtackle, nice Cobra R pics. where'd you get 'em?

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 29 Feb 2004, 06:42

Yeh, nice time too RTackle!! And the RX7 owns dude - is she posted in the 'room?

About that team name, Flame - how about we shorten her up a little - will 'Team Suck' do??
