HA, fucking KEK.

3rd gear pulls on the highway isn't racing

I drive a challenger and am surprisingly not a huge fan of drag racing and quarter mile races. It gets really old when all the guys on the LX forums only talk about drag racing

Canyon carving is a lot more fun and interesting because like you said its more about skill and can change at any moment

Plus going straight is pretty boring

The problem isn't with the engineering, it's with the "skill" required by the driver for street builds

No. A truly good driver is someone who can build a fast machine and drive it well. If you just drive but don't know anything about your car, you aren't going to be able to use 100% of its capabilities. Even fucking Chinese cartoons teach this. The fastest guy at my local kart track is constantly fucking around with his setup chasing better times.

Wangan racing is completely different to drag racing
I'd say it's more technical than racing down a twisty road. You're going 200kmh+ and trying to dodge traffic

>>15644277
>You're going 200kmh+ and trying to dodge traffic
Sounds like stupidity to me

>>15644349

Also those highways around Tokyo are fairly technical courses
Fuck off with your americuck dead straight line bullshit

>>15644356

wangan is like Nascar

Still doesn't compare to touge racing

>>15644369

Driving at high speeds on roads with traffic with no margin for error is pretty fucking stupid

Racing on a track is for richie rich white men and racing in anything but a straight line on a street is begging for death, license revokement, financial disaster, jail time etc.

Just not worth it unless you live in the mountains in some rich county where the roads are perfectly smooth with very little if any traffic.

Wangan is pay 2 win. If you can't keep up with your opponent you lose.

Meanwhile I've seen ano evo pass a mclaren mp412c like it was not even there on the touge.

>>15644414
say what you will about the general populace, but the US had some fantastic mountain roads if you are in the right states. Half an hour from the nearest town, well maintained, as curvy as you could want. Man, I love Colorado.

>>15644456
Same here in california. I run the angeles forest hwy all the time. Although it's best suited for nighttime/ miday racing thanks to commuters.

>>15644435
That's not what I said, but regardless- open lapping isn't legitimate racing either unless it's just you and your buddies there.

3rd gear pulls on the highway for 10 seconds will always be cheaper than legitimate track days.

>>15644266
F1 drivers don't build their cars and they sure seem pretty capable on the track

>>15644277
>>15643854

While I agree about drag racing, racing through light/medium traffic in the highway is a whole different thing. It also involves driver's reflexes, spatial awareness and twitch speed calculation, etc etc. You can drive an absolute shitbox and win if you have the wits.

>>15644414
>straight line racing on streets
>almost always on highways or large streets, highest chance of accidentally harming someone not involved
>mountain road that nobody fucking uses
>only person getting hurt is the driver
I know which I prefer.

>>15644485
but it won't be legitimate racing

>>15644491
You go blasting down a mountain road not knowing whether a deer or someone lost pulls out in front of you. Unless you're talking about some faggot pussy shit where you stay in your own lane and only go 15mph. I don't care.


But if you're trying to compare a 10 second pull on the highway (often when there is no one around and theres room in front) to recklessly flying down mountain paths, you're a fucking idiot. People who drag on the highway aren't wangan fucking dodging cars at 300kph either.

>>15644495
Wow! No shit sherlock, let me just pull a gold brick out of my asshole and go join an SCCA club, and maybe we can go golf at the Country Club afterwards.

>>15644518
Stop trying to play the poor victim card

There are plenty of examples of highway pulls gone wrong where some tard crashes his car into a minivan full of kids

>>15644518
>highway pulls for an extremely short period of time
holy fuck why even call it racing if you're just doing the big boy version of stoplight to stoplight
you're not testing anything other than if you can shift worth a shit and if you have enough money to have an appropriate amount of horses, so much for being about anything other than how rich you are

Aslo you're MUCH MORE likely to get caught by police in highway racing.

Police tend to stay away from mountain roads late night due to radio interference/ not being able to keep up in technical driving/ not wanting to stop someone in the middle of nowhere and get shot.

>>15643979
well that takes skill and a lot more practice than changing gears, friend.

>>15644487
F1 drivers are pretty involved with the tuning of their machines for various tracks

>>15644563
Nah that's the job for test drivers

Have you even watched more than one of his videos?

Basic compared to what? atleast he actually drives his car in the canyons. He's more of a racer than 90% of the car enthusiasts community

Sure if you have launch control it's hold the pedel to the floor and then let go of the brake but if you have to actually manually do your 0-60 times there is quite a bit of skill and finesse to it.

tldr, i'll fucking smoke you at the lights m8

>>15643854
Drag racing is pretty boring yeah.

Being able to post fast lap times is really an incredibly difficult skill. You have to take the right line, brake the right amount at the right time, turn in at the right time and right steering input to clip the apex, power out as soon as possible and with as much power as possible without breaking traction.

The driver has to have a lot more control than just shifting quickly and staying at the edge of traction.

Wrong kind of drag racing, anon. We're talking about niggers who race at stoplights and do 3rd gear pulls on the highway. I doubt most of them would be able to do that either.

>>15644828
Oh, that's right.. I'd lose $5 bucks..
because you would be dead... jew

Why are you comparing highway pulls with track racing. Are you guys retarded?

>>15643854
You get a lot of fast fucking cars on the street. Seeing a 1000 hp car racing on the streets isn't a surprising thing these days.
Drag racing is where its at, especially on the street

>>15644946
Because highway pulls are for faggots.

Competitive drag racing is terrible way to waste money but the most fun you can have in your daily on a day to day basis is btfoing ricers at stoplights and stomping niggers from a roll on the highway.
top fuel is dank af, just nothing that interests me personally.
Karting is by far the most fun you can have on a track. All else is a snoozefest in comparison.

I like both games a lot but I only have easy access to one of them. We have a WMMT 3DX+ cabinet at our local arcade and the nearest ID8 Infinity is three and a half hours away. So I love both. Of course Wangan Midnight is easy as dicks, but the fun comes in beating out everyone's ghosts and when they put their card in, NEW CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately most of the scrubs at our arcade don't accept them, they just go to no and continue on whatever they're doing. I agree Initial D is a much harder game and requires a lot more skill, I just wish I had the accessibility to it.

Straight line speed is so boring. I have to assume only absolute knuckleheads can ever be appealed by the car equivalent of dangling a keychain in your face.
It's just a competition of who put the most money in the car. Fuck it. What an awful sport
