I don’t know shit about drag racing but i’d assume it’s because the bigger blown/NA motors have an early power peak and carry the power through to the top end. No reason for torque multiplication other than a launch, when after that you can gear the car to top out right at the end of the strip. that’s what makes sense to me

If you're running AWD you probably want a square setup for the wheels. Having smaller fronts is more than likely hampering your traction for the front drive wheels to grab. It's like putting the fat tires on the back of a FWD car.

Vk Commodore, I knew I recognised that body shape in the thumbnail!

The gear ratios aren't the issue. Its the shift times. You need to go manual and shift as soon as it hits the limiter. Put the engine to work. If its hitting the limiter, it's no longer accelerating.

I made a drag car that does 6.1s with rwd and 3500hp, but I heavily modded the jbeam files so I'm sure it wouldnt be legal in this competition. Had a lot of fun trying to bring the time down lower and lower and eventually reached a point where a wheelie bar was needed, but my lack of knowledge with file editing meant I couldnt add rolling wheels to the wheelie bar. So it scrapes slowing the car down. Without a scrape, I guarantee sub 6 is doable with it.

Make it a 3 speed already.

use manual gear shift even on gearboxes that have automatic(Dual Clutch and Sequential) so the car doenst hit the limiter and use less gears!, drag cars obviously have way more than enough torque to carry 2 or 3 cars of its own so you don't really need low speed gears, use less gears you can and give it some spacing! Also another thing i dind't see you mess much was the cam profile which can help alot especially since you were using VVL, dunno if you changed some stuff between cuts though

Not a drag car, but i have made a hyper car that can go from 0-100 km/h in 2,90 seconds, it's top speed is 535km/h. I would call it an *Ultra* car at that point if it accelerates as much if not more than the average dragster, but drives as fast as a hyper car. The fictional company that made the car is WK(wariai kaze)and the car model name is Dracon. IMO it's very impressive even though i have started playing automation like last year(december 17th if i remember correctly)

It's a year later so a lot has changed with the game. Best time I've managed after a few minutes with a V10 running RWD on drag slicks gets me 6.4xx. Every automatic doesn't know what to do with the amount of torque I have and hang on gear for no reason. Ended up using the single gear continuous and that works. I've done better with a manual and slipping the clutch carrying the front end past the 60 foot but I have a G27 so I got a clutch pedal.

6.46s rwd 1428 bhp but it's a track, really pleased wit the 1/4 mile time

What wheel overlay are you using if u dont mind me asking, I've been trying to look for a clean one for a while.

saw this video and took it as a challenge. Just pulled a 6.686 with a single cab!

ball bearing is powaaa journal bearing is reliability

Do you have a mod list for Automation?? I haven't played in about a year but your game looks a lot different than mine.

Make this car more aerodynamic

When it comes to drag tuning in forza your first gear you want the shortest without spinning then you want to stay in the powerband for the rest

Fastest I've been able to make is a 5.2 took a few weeks but I didn't do anything outside of what was available in the base games. I'm sure there are faster ones out there

The intercooler cools the turbo? Yo what 😅

What's your current rwd fastest time? Have to know if my 7.1 is enough or needs to be faster xD

Maybe put super glue tires in it? That would eliminate the wheelspin. 🤔

You actually don’t want your suspension to be so stiff in the rear. Soft is better for acceleration off the line as the weight is transferred to your rear wheels on launch.

I’ve gotten 6.9 with a massive v12 in a Saab body and even with road flatteners at tyres it’s still has no grip

If you want some immediate power, don't use a turbo, let alone twin turbos. If you insist on using a turbo at all, just compound boost it!

Your using sport mode on your transmission. It has one more mode and it's m. That's for manual shift. You can shift faster then the game actually shift's.

Higher gear ratios, less gears. Higher suspension, low suspension rebound, medium pushback.

Well, time to test my knowledge on aerodynamics and Engineering. Maybe I can pull off a 10 second or less car.

You should try to use the manuan shifting more on dct cars...the game's shift logic isnt the best always so yeah

I wouldn’t say “historically” because for first 80 years of drag racing, manuals dominated

If you shifted instead of banging rev every gear for 100 feet you’d gain lose some time lol

put the same size rear and front rim & tire diameter, the fronts are spinning faster than the rear because of the surface area.

Would love to get into this but I can't make tires that hold up above 300mph and BeamNG literally just breaks. 395mm semi-slick tires and 4wd, 4 speed gearbox (1st goes to 120mph) with traction control.... Automation still complains it wheelspins 100% in every gear, Clicking test track results in lua crashes, Going into BeamNG and the ferrari style bodywork thats slammed in automation gets lifted like a monster truck, accelerating makes the front axels bend and steer all over the place...until it wheelies then the wheels explode. Some things aren't meant for this mortal realm I guess.

How are your engine building controls so different then mine??

What version of the game is this? I don't have any turbo options except single

Bros made a VL commodore

My crazy drag car Clocked 8secs or under in 1/4mile drag, i tried to make it even faster, but the engine keeps exploding. That was on an older version tho, so the updated version, i could probably get 5-6 secs no mistakes, and i'm not really a pro car tuner, but i just get it on the game, you know the stats. Idk what i do in the game, i just give it a guess mostly.

That car on the Home Screen of the vid is a vk commerodre

Pro tip #1: You most definitely *_can & will_* make more “raw” power with an intercooler. Pro tip #2: An intercooler has nothing to do w/ cooling the turbo(s) nor does it contribute to longevity of turbos. Pro tip #3: An AWD vehicle should almost always have same size front & rear rims & tires, unless you want to start messing w/ gearing ratios which just makes for more weight & is completely unnecessary.

Do something like a power glide
