Drag/Acceleration Roll Racing

[Goublin]

Has any done roll racing? I am seeing a lot drag times, but my opinion races are won at the mid range. I do a lot of roll races. Any one any feedback or videos of a Stinger killing cars on mid range?

I posted this elsewhere. But there are a couple of scenes where the Stinger does pretty good roll racing. "Kills?" No.

Roll racing is for cars that don’t launch well.

im finding that alot more 'dragsters' are doing roll racing as its easier on the car than drag start.
But also happy laps were you line up

Unfortunately our Stingers are at a disadvantage when roll racing because our top end falls off significantly over 5k RPM. We have tiny twin turbos that spool quickly and max TQ at low RPM(1300-4500) which is great for 0-60's & 1/4m's. However, that means we dont have the strong top end HP pull which is what wins roll races.

Now I'm not saying we cant compete with a lot of high performance cars even when roll racing. I'm simply saying that most Stinger owners already know to play to our advantages instead of falling victim to high HP cars that will walk away and take us to "gapplebees"

If you want a roll take your ass to the bakery.

Still the 8 speed and the V6 i thought would make it compete with your Golf Rs and RS3s. But also the stinger isnt exactly a light car, I guess its looking at that pull from 25mph - 110/120 mph

Guess we have to wait until a turbo upgrade becomes available on the market

Golf R yes, RS3 no. The key is to stay in the power band if your roll racing, so don't redline it, try to shift around 6k. I have raced quite a few cars roll racing and the Stinger fares well.

car is no slouch on roll racing, bolt on and tuned stingers are hitting 117-120 traps in the 1/4, that's better than a lot of fast cars like the new Mustang GT, Charger Scat Pack, M3.

100% spot on. The key is and has always been, know your car. Stay within the power band and you will be getting some good races.

All of my runs against other cars have been roll races on deserted Mexican highways; so far so good, haven't lost one yet. I've managed to pull away from several powerful and far more expensive rides (Ghibli, LC500/rcf, F-type) and stay either neck and neck or slowly inch on others (550i, ATS-v, S7).

I personally don't mess with the paddles, I prefer to just punch it hard to the kickdown switch and let the auto do its own thing.

It is "smarter" than most of us. But that isn't as fun! To each his own.

Not anymore....JB4 map 6, Injens, SSRs and Ark.

I mean when you raced the ATS-V and S7?

More details, like from what speed up to what speed, map and mods etc

To each one his own.
From my experience, proper timing with paddles is faster than letting it auto shift.

I'm not better than a computer so i let it shift, especially in the lower gears.
Unless you have a jb4 and it doesn't want to shift, let the ecu do the work.
