Raced a Dodge Challenger SRT8

[OmaHahn]

What's best for these cars for a roll what speed/rpm besides a dig

I would say 1st or 2nd gear high RPMs! I raced a Mustang GT 2012 that was modded pretty well and sounded bad ass - raced in 2nd gear and I was walking him until his HP kicked in and then he started catching up slowly. But I could tell he was ****** how bad I jumped him!

I like 25-30 mph in Drive...car down shifts perfect & takes off.

U gotta make sure it downshifts to first at 25-30... If it doesn't your gonna lose.. I was testing it today, sometimes it downshifted sometimes it didnt

Those 1st gear drops are insane but only last like half a second is it a lot better then dropping to 2nd?

Going to 2nd at that speed is no good.. Like I said you will lose

So from 55 1st gear drop is best with paddles?

I don't really ever use the paddles, maybe some of the other guys do. But to answer your question, first gear at that speed is best. If you hit the down paddle and it flashes at 2 I think that means you cannot go to first because your going to fast.

Oh so you just mash the peddle and if it doesn't goto 1st your done? (At 30mph)

I don't really race on the street, I do accelerate quickly on occasion. If I have it in sport mode I just let it go. What I meant was I do not drive around shifting with the paddles for no reason.

I meant this. Sometimes it down shifts to 2nd on you?

Depends what speed you are at.. Maybe at 31mph the computer will not go directly to 1st.

I think I'm going to re load the tune to mine tomorrow.....it just keeps "cutting out" at high rpm when I mash the pedal.....sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't its very frustrating.... Oh well I will see if re loading the tune helps

Just went out and did a log... At 20 mph it downshifted from 3rd to 1st.. It commanded 2nd gear at 34mph.. So 30mph might be pushing it to downshift to 1st

i went from about a 60mph roll with a new Stingray (sounded stock) -- he jumped out about 15-20ft on me initially and didn't pull any further until we hit 135. he started to inch away and we both let off...dude looked seriously confused when i pulled up next to him
