600 hp max A class? You might as well say no HP cap.

Actually it's a good limit. You can swap some powerful engines in there and cam(s) on top of that will make the car a rocket! :twisted:

I refrained from that this time, as tempting as it was. Mainly because the lighter/less powerful car produced better acceleration.

Well, you can do a bit over 600HP if you skip the suspension stuff and in some cars you can even fit weight reduction in with 600HP A600. I picked 600 because the GT500 is 500+, the 2011 GT500 is like 550-560; so this allows a bit of wiggle room on those cars. The ZR1 motor swap is 638, so this excludes that. :) I thought about requiring full aero, but thought this would be more fun to see who can control their mullet mobile :twisted:

I have a friend that I race with often. He's a good racer and liked the idea that we have a group here that tries and race clean. He would like to join us, but doesn't get to the computer often. I was wondering if it was ok if he joined us. His name is "That1GotMeOdell" (XBL Account).

I may or may not be racing tonight. We've got some friends of friends in town and I dunno if my wife made plans with them tonight or not. I'll be there if I can.

Should be fine.

How do we get the crew into the same room if you aren't around? I'm not familiar with the XBL party & friend of friend type features...

I'm sure others are.

Most of you are either on my friends list or on AnandTechGaming, just go use the "Friends of Friends" feature (go to their profile and go Right) and pull others in the game.

Hopefully I'll be there but plan accordingly.

Alright, no word from the wife yet but she said she's making dinner which I will blindly assume means we're not going out tonight, it's looking like I'll be there.

Sorry, having been married for 3 years now it's plainly clear who wears the pants in this relationship, and it's not me...it's the redhead high school chemistry teacher.

Racing for the first time tonight. Excellent. :)

How do I find the group of ATers so that I can race with your guys?

Smart move, she could probably put MacGyver to shame with what she could mix up.

Had a car @ 600hp/Class A and the lobby said that I didn't meet the requirements. :confused:

No other cars in my garage met the requirements (that were Camaros/Mustangs), so I dropped out. :(

What gives?

I just dropped, so you can try to join again. Guess you don't have a mic? I loaded all my cars which were A600 or less with 600HP or less.

This was a lot of fun. Next time I'll be more prepared with a better car. :p

Sincere apologies to everyone I rammed into tonight. I think I might need a "Noobie on Board" bumper sticker. :p

It's all good... what's racing without trading paint?

Here's the car I was talking about...
