CanisLupus Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 There is no real way to make a Car good for Track, Street AND Drag Racing. You'll have to focus on one of them to do it really good or make a compromise for every one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Large sidewall on the tyre (stock 16/17" wheels) dependant upon the brakes you have, would help you out with the launches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can drive it to meets etc(would be a mess if you could not ^^) but a very good street car is much more than getting to a meet Also most of the time i either see him drifting or drag racing or pulling on the highway Same goes for the track, it's a whole other way of setting the car up and you won't be able to achieve that big change without swapping the suspension(at least at the rear). In the end as i've said in my first post. Either excellent on one terrain or a compromise on all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
