No cheating there. I'll make the drag one soon.

PS: I can't do 6.12 anymoar. D=

wheelie, is average. type into youtube and you'll be suprised by the results.

Yeah, Im suprised.

I must find a pic for my 6.12 time. D=

Actually 1340 should technically be around the limit since the wheelie competition is done over a quarter mile and a quarter mile is roughly 1320 feet. The reason why it can be greater than 1320 feet is because it counts your distance based on your rear wheels.

has anyone used a muchielago for a drag race?

Yes, but I didn't save for a reason. lol I would rather get the Pagani Zonda F which I will soon since I finally got a Free Car Marker.
Oh slightly off topic but what Widebody kit do you use?

one that looks the best

Well besides that. Did you use the Strata Widebody kit? As in the one at the bottom of the list.

if its the $15,000 one then yes. on most cars anyway

Yeah same. Makes sense too, to have it.

not really, because i never noticed any difference. well it may help in speed challange, but as for drag racers a waste of money. since i got the same times with and without it.

Depends on which car though.
If it's one of the "weaker" cars like a Ford Mustang GT or Mazda RX-8 then yeah you will need it, but as the car's get more powerful like the Zonda F you may or may not need it. Depending on how you take the strip.

Kenny 2x4, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Fuel and read about the fastest race cars in the world.
The engine by its self in a Top Fuel Dragster ways 225kg. Then add a 100kg driver, and the dragster itself and you've easily got 500 - 600kg.
With tyres ranging up to 25 inches wide, they need all the traction they can get. These things shake the ground violently.
The engines range from 454 - 600 cubic inches and produce 8000hp.
They accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 0.8 second, yes they are fast, they are the fast machine on four wheels. And they only run 4 - 4.5 second.
You find me a 3 second quarter mile car then let me know?

DO NOT use the WB kit on exotics, the extra weight only slows them down. It doesn't make any difference on classic muscle cars, but on my Ford GT it made a massive positive difference without a bodykit to weigh it down.

Ok fine my memory was off and the weight maybe different.
I watched a drag competition and they said the car (note car as in the whole thing excluding the driver) weighed 200kg.
I said atleast 3000bhp didn't I? Meaning the engine's output power could mean either 3000 bhp or more.
Yes I know about the tyres being very wide. I was just explaining a little bit pf physics factor about having wide tyres and thinner ones.
The average driver actually weighs in the range of 60 to 80kg. If they were 100kg they're either overweight or in the wrong sports category.

Exotics as in like the Lambourghini and Pagani?
I know it doesn't work on classic muscle cars. I tried it on Nate Denvers GTO. I autosculpted it so that it would have massive amounts of downforce AND drag at the rear, but significantly less downforce at the front, but it was still oversteering horribly. It still oversteered even after setting the rear realy soft, low pressure at the rear, high pressure at the front, and this could go on.
Lets just say I set up it up majorly to understeer and it was still horrible.
I only tested the Ford GT recently for drag (would've mentioned in my other thread, but DP so you know and editting doesn't alert anyone to it really) and it lost way too much traction.

Ford GT, Murcielago, Pagani and the like. If you compare the bars for the Stratospeed WB Kit and stock, you will see a major difference, my GT according to "Drag Top Speed" was supposedly 20kph faster than with the kit.

I used a Micielago, and I ruined it.
So, I did'nt save.
I currently in need of a new drag car. Is Murcielago alright?

Loses too much traction. It's like what Jeremy Clarkson said. Hyper cars are not designed for playing with this kind of fun. lol
I suppose if you want to try Murcielago's thing with the Camaro (I haven't actually tried it myself yet) you could.
I take it you're not enjoying the Ford Mustang GT either?
The Shelby GT was alright, though nothing to write home about.
