people who choose to roll race probably can't drive their cars too well.

Not me just saying that doesnt take as much rwhp to beat a Cobra. I raped his little *** and he was all butthurt. The bad thing is if he had actually wanted to run again and I would have sprayed him he might have killed himself.

if you can really drive your car, the tire you are on should NOT matter. The Driver's skill is what matters. Roll racing is just for fun. No races should be set up from a roll unless there is NOWHERE to do a real race, or if the cars make ludacrous horsepower.

I agree totally. But setting up a roll race ahead of time? Save that **** for Honduhs.

I dont mean this in a ******** way but this is coming from some one who has an A4 car.....if you had a M6 you would enjoy rolls. Thats understandable cuz your car shines from a dig and not so much from a roll.

Oh, I understand completely. This sint the only car I have ever owned or raced (used to run a full bolt-on 01 GT 5 spd) Believe me, roll racing is fun, but to me, it's just a spur of the moment on the way to the races kinda thing, you know? I wouldnt setup one ahead of time unless my opponent was running a broken clutch or almost broken rearend 9and then... why run somebody who is broken anyway). If I set it up ahead of time, I am not risking the chance of not hearing a honk, or missing a downshift or dealing with traffic or whatever. It'll never be a fair race because you will NEVER both be in your ideal powerbands at the same time. From a dig, that **** is all neutralized and everybody is on the same page.

PS, thanks for not resorting to name calling like a little bitch because we don't totally agree. It's nice getting to just have a talk without that garbage, you know?

dude, it's not all in the tires, and tires alone should not be the only deciding factor in the race. With that kind of power, I'd imagine you definately have some suspension under there to compliment the power and you have no doubt driven the **** out of your car many times. My point was just that driver skill is more important than just rubber. And with a 650/750 car, I bet traction with ANY tires sucks

A bolt-on 2001 Mustang GT 5spd is an easy car to launch. Ask me how I know. And there are certain speeds where most cars will be just fine, like a 50mph 2nd gear roll.

yeah, they are rediculously easy to launch. Although, to be honest, I ran better times on street tires than I did on track wheels and tires. (just way more consistant on the slicks) I could never figure that out except for the fact that it kinda danced around on the big end with the real tires and I didnt like how it felt.

you beat A cobra with less hp. does not mean you will take them all. a 50 horse difference is a lot. put a competent driver in the cobra and it would be another story.

I am not big on bench racing either...but like I said before I told you on here I think I will beat you with a 100 shot that you DONT even have and I would tell you that to your face....from a dig I would edge you out 20 roll i would win 40 roll I would walk you. But I forgot you dont even have spray so guess it doesnt matter.


Ok, I'll take it as a loss...good game!



(how about a 125shot? j/k)
