Epic

I would like an A650 TVR vs. Viper night with no aids except braking guides.

Braking guides? So no ABS?

Do you guys use the braking lines?

 

[Kabob]

650 is S class. A ends at 600.

 

[vshah]

i use braking lines but no abs

 

[EightySix Four]

650 is S class. A ends at 600.

Sorry, A600. TVR vs. Viper with no ABS, no stability, and no traction. Both cars are tail happy, powerful, and damn fast when driven properly.

 

[vshah]

haha so who's pick is it actually? neither quick nor osj has said anything!

edit: ah i guess frostbite is next?

 

[Kabob]

I dun care, someone pick!!

 

[EightySix Four]

S614 Mini Cooper, non john cooper works. It's completely maxed out with a motor swap etc. That's my pick for the week

 

[Kabob]

OK, since neither OSJ or Quik has spoken up and we're over halfway to race night I've decided to go way outside my authority and declare that it's SOB's week. Make an official choice.

 

[EightySix Four]

I played with all 3 cars last night and A600 TVR vs Viper with no assists was the most fun. Official pick made.

 

[Kabob]

Cool beans, but I'm not sure about stipulating no assists.

What's the rules on engine/drivetrain swaps?

 

[EightySix Four]

What's the rules on engine/drivetrain swaps?

RWD only.

 

[SID3W8Z]

No assists sounds like fun.... I can picture tons of burn-outs, drifts and donuts! Sweet!

 

[ivan2]

TVR vs Viper? might as well put the panoz in there because that car too is wicked fast and crazy to drive

I'm cool with that.

I think it would be fun... more likme real racing, no? I was toying around with us running R2 or R1 class cars (on my next choice) with no assists (with exception of manual trans...clutch or no clutch). Think we'd have a blast trying to avoid each other.

 

[EightySix Four]

My reasoning for these cars specifically is that they are supposed to be really fast, but also really hard to drive. The risk/reward ratio is much more important without any assists when you are coming into a former hot and you need to brake heavily. If it is a problem after the first few races we can turn them on. I thought about restricting it to engine mods only as well to make them stupid fast, but I thought that may be too mean

 

[Kabob]

True, but some people have never used manual transmission, much less MT w/clutch. I always use TC and ABS while famous uses neither. So not only am I trying to race, I'm trying to learn how to drive all over again...

 

[Hopeless]

Finally got the OP updated.

Went out Sat & finally got us our first HDTV. Now just waiting on monoprice to send me the HDMI cables I ordered.

 

[Kabob]

Monoprice is amazing. Congrats!

What TV did you get?
