Anyone had a significant win in a drag race yet?

Is that where you and the other driver dress up as
women and run down the road wearing stillettos...?

Yeah I'm sure we all go drag racing...

I've given a couple of Porsches a good run for their money on occasion, and beat most things of the lights. :lol:
The torque pulling away in 2nd is phenomenal (for a 1.4). :thumbs:

Well my friend, who has an S3, does want me to go to Santa Pod with him and hit up the drag strip! I only have a wee 95bhp, but will probably just give it a go anyway. Haha. Will let you know if I have any victories as soon as I've been.

One of my mates is the crew chief for Gold RV Racing - some of the stories he has are :wow:

Non ci credo, is the OP for real?? or maybe he's on a mega wind up?, hopefully the latter. Even the Quadrofoglio is only slightly warm (no offence meant as I have a less than warm 135) but lets jump into the real world for once, Alfa were given a GP platform and limited funds, and apart from the low rent interior (in my opinion as someone thats an engineer in interior trim) they've created something far more interesting, classy/cool looking and likeable than the class mainstream, be happy with it!, dragster it isnt!.

Out dragged a few Civic Type Rs and an Integra DC2 at the lights. but the traffic light grand prix is more about traction than anything else; a Focus RS with 300 horses that can't get any of them down ain't going to get you anywhere.

I have pretend drag races, the other drivers don't realise it's a race so I win most of the time

dont do drag races or take the bait for traffic light grand prix. But I would say ive suprized quite a few people with the mid range acceleration in Dynamic mode

most agreed. i like a lot.

my tyres...not so much

lambrate - i think the OP just mean in general at traffic lights and things. i don't think he's wondering if there are any professional drag events he can enter.

good points about the car in general although disagree on the interior - think it is far superior to anything else i have sat in that is sub-£20k. they have followed the simple but golden design rule of putting the expense where it matters (touchable, functional parts) and skimping on less essential areas.

for example: leather wheel, gear stick etc, fairly solid dials and buttons. hefty doors that make a decent solid *clump* noise on shutting. carbon-fibre(ish) look dash is unique and feels more expensive than it is.

however they clearly cut back on the plastic quality elsewhere - top of doors, glove box area, weird bellows-like bit above steering wheel, cardboard boot mat, awful carpets to name a few

apologies OP, went off topic a bit

 

[Lambrate FS]

I understood what he was meaning
