Good wheelie/drag setup?

Post by [Xx0887xX] »

I've been trying for awhile to get a good drag and wheelie setup for a Zonda and '06 GT500. But each time I have failed :( anyone got any good setups for these cars? Or any others?

stage 4 Camaro SS drag setup
With this setup, car is launched in 5th gear and nitrous at the same time. Only one shift into 6th gear.

suspension setup
install stage 4 suspension
front and rear shocks and springs - all the way left
front tire pressure - all the way right
toe, camber, caster, steering - leave in middle
install stock suspension

engine
cam timing - all the way left
boost - all the way right (middle for more points)
nitrous - all the way right

drive train
1st -> 4th doesn't matter, not used
5th - 4 clicks left
6th - 9 clicks right
overall - 10 clicks right (all the way right)

brakes - default

jeff how do you shift directly to 5th, the only way i know of doing it is keep on shifting until you get there meaning 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then 5th

You must enable the clutch from the drag options.

Like any real car when you have the clutch fully press you can rev your engine with any gear selected, and the car won't move. When you release the clutch it starts to move.

So:

1) Enable the clutch from the options

2) Warm your tires

3) Press and hold the clutch, select 5th gear AND DON'T RELEASE THE CLUTCH

4) When the lights turn green release the clutch and press N2O

5) When you have to shift for 6th gear DON'T FORGET TO USE THE CLUTCH!
You have to press clutch + shift up almost together, and release them immediatly!

That's the way to do it! Thanks jeffareid for the setup!! It was really difficult to stop the weelie!! =D>

I didn't expect the game to be so close to real life! That's the way to start a real car, you keep the clutch (with 1st gear because you don't have 755hp :mrgreen: ) rev up to 5.000rpm release the clutch and pray not to spin! :mrgreen:

That's a good point. He must use a steering wheel with 5 gears, like a manual car, then i think it could be possible (In a real car, it would be, I know such steering wheels exist, i haven't used any)

But still this "tactic" works fine! I managed 5.76!

If I could find a wheel like that for ProStreet, that would be so awesome

I PMd Jeff and he set up his keyboard where he hits a diffrent button for each gear, or somethin similar

Logitech G25 Racing, with clutch and six gears. I haven;t used it in pro street but i guess that's how it's done.

Oh in the camaro setup you should put the ride height all the way left, else it won't work

Hm i run a Porsche Cayman on wheelie LOL..... It runs the full stretch!
My drag Elise is also very cool! Tuned for 1/4mile it runs on 6.34 (very good for that car)...
I have a Corolla with 131bhp used in easy drag! It runs 8.86 gives over 15k!
