Power, how much is too much?

racing that 10,000hp HSV and all you spend the first half spinning......

I've note looked into them but do stall converter's make a difference when first taking off with lack of traction?

I know from speaking with friends that even industrial areas are being targeted more often on weekend's for hoon behavior now.
 

yeah I never mess around in certain industrial areas. sucks too as it's literally factory units on both sides of the road yet they are hellbent about people ripping skids there.

 

that being said the cops also rent units in industrial areas I know this for a fact and they park all of their cars inside and run operations targeting hoons to people committing computer crimes. smart coppers are smart.

great post! That's the kind of feedback needed since you've had a taste of all the power levels. I'm currently sitting around that second stage. Mid 400s does seem to be the place to be.

Yer mate I don't know how the big boys handle it

 

800hp+ = maker of clouds, smoke signals

The meaning of it needs "more tyre" becomes pretty self explanatory

I reckon you're all crazy but I'd go for another 100rwkw any day!

 

except my car scares me when I stomp the accelerator to the floor really fast with only 360rwkw.

[Elusivef6]

had 350rkw for about 1-2mnths. Went for more as I wasn't quite at the "HOLY sh*t" point. 

as for now though... mission success

Up to what point?  I'm all for a nice quick accelerating car but not at the expense of new tyres every three months or paying for breakages every so often.

[skidxr6t]

I reckon the 360kw I currently have is too much.

 

I got chopped the other day by another lightning strike car on a cruise but he mashed it and I was to the kickdown point.....I obviously need to learn how to launch it (didn't stall it up at all) but I didn't want to do a skid and/or risk having an accident while side by side to another car.

 

I dont know if this is the tune but if I roll the throttle on really slowly it's kinda mediocre but if I stab it to the floor really quickly the car either gives me slingshot or wheelspin. I could see a high powered car being just fine if it is tuned this way so a slow application of the throttle won't be the same as pushing it fast to the same spot.

" my ride: 09/06 bf xr6 turbo with a cop chip "

 

What version of the firmware is installed on the cop chip?

 

Might need to get it looked at and upgraded if required.
