This game is really cool, the graphics aren't amazing or anything, but you can choose from any of the Turbo Buicks, even the turbo Trans Am. Its free, there is no limitations on the free version.

Thanks alot, you've made me an addict. :flipoff2: :rolf

Question about the game now. Why is it when I launch I always spin the tires for 100 ft and then it goes? I've tried easing into the gas, that doesn't help. It's happened to me, like, 10 times in a row and I lost every race (very frustrating).

You have to short-shift second gear right after launch if you want to kill the tire spin.

Fun game and very addicting. I bet I spent six hours playing it last night. My car is as modified as yours, 68, but I can't figure out how you got such a low 60ft. The best I've been able to do is a 1.30.:mad: I've tried burn-outs and every wheel combination. Nothing doing. FVCK!http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6985/rant9vz.gif

My 60fts usually range from 1.2-1.5, that 1.016 was a lucky run, I've been playing since Thursday, and I've realized the tree isn't real consistent. The CPU car always pulls like .661 60ft time :wow
I just got the Trans Am fully modified, but I can't get a decent time from it.
It is a lot of fun. :thumbsup

Nice rainy day game. :thumbsup

Heres a screen shot of my T/A, I can't bring myself to put the "super slicks" on it, they make the car look real stupid from behind :rolf , but they would help improve my times.

Try the 3.90 gears. They really help if you spin out of the hole and have to short shift to get the car to hook.

I switched to the 3.90s and pulled a 1.012 60ft. :wow

Takes forever to build up a bankroll when you're just getting started though...

Practice, practice, practice. I don't do a burnout, I just nail it when the light drops green, short shift 2nd like HITMAN said, and hope for the best. See my screen shots, those are obviously my best 60' times...

other than the gearing being way off from reality, this game is awesome.

That, and it would be cool if we could add nitrous...

Here's another fun racing game. You have to play with the gear ratios to get it to run right.

I can't find the version to download.

dont' seem like it.

i had everything and my car topped out @ 163 way before the traps, and subsequently am now losing to cars that made it to 170ish. i kill em on the 60 (PB of 1.35), but thats the end for me.

I just got a 1.169 60' with a 674hp 85 GN, on drag radials, with the "budget bars" on it, ran a real low 10 second ET, running the boost at 30lbs :wow

That one is fun too. I had that on a disc, but I lost it.

I used to play this one all the time...

I have tried all three. seems like one way it hits 163 before the traps, the other it just hits 163 passing thru, and might be able to go faster, but it's out of track.

whoever made the game deserves a kick in the head for creating a TTA that has a base model back half. TTA, gets no respect.

on another note, I'm now trying each car thru the game. i need something better to do.. oh snap I think family guy is on..

So has anyone seen how fast they can take a stockish car??

I have a GNX with very minimal mods and went 11.5's @ 117

Kinda cool, building it just like i would in real life with less than 1K into it.

9.60's now@ 137, just the addition of mid grade injectors, gutted cat, and the TE63 turbo and super slicks, Almost 600 hp @ 26 PSI.

Need more injector now and a stock style inter cooler and ill be looking for 9.30's
