Dragcar for Dragstrip
hi, i was thinking we have cars for every track but we don't have a car for the Dragstrip so why not a TOPFUEL DRAGGER?
That would be fun, belive me (if u play dragster games )

More public demand for an oval car it would seem... and I think a top fuel dragster would be very difficult to implement (flames, tires that expand with centrifugal force) not to mention as it is the computer launches for you (no false starts) and no burnouts and...... a parachute? forget it.

edit: it would of course be cool if it worked right...

i think if u just begin with a dragster with allot of power and if it drags well, then u can start thinking about all details, with those tyres, and flames etc..

or u know what if som1 just gives us TWEAK U version we can modify a XFG with allot of power big tyres at the rear and ROAMM

False starts will be a reality in LFS anyway.

Not that I would ever use the drag strip, but I think LFS needs two specialised drag cars, not just one. As long as there is a drag strip in Live For Speed, suggestions about adding proper drag vehicles will always be valid.

Yeah I bet people would take it around the oval anyway...

LOL how r ppl gonna do that driving a topfuel dragster on an oval, they'l crash in every turn

What is this centrifugal force you speak of, I've never heard of it, in fact, I don't belive it exists
its just this simple, u throw water on those huge tyres and they shrink(or did they get bigger? ) but there isnt water yet in the game so u can forget ur "centrifugal force" (not meant to hurt u)

I meant tires which expand centrifugally. Sorry for the confusion.

That'll be the day when LFS can do this:

Hehe, I know what you meant. I was just giving you a hard time because centrifugal force doesn't actually exist, hehe, there is no outward pushing force, just whatever the object is trying to stay going in a straight line.

Yeah, I know you knew what I meant.

I remember Bill Nye the Science Guy talking about that when I was a youngin', but dictionary.com threw me off...

Quote from dictionary.com :Operated by means of centrifugal force.



Maybe it's just become a term for the phenomenon?
I would hope since the track exists, that the appropriate cars will exist sometime in the future as well. That would be cool.

Scawen mentioned that he MAY have the false start system done in some upcomming incompatible patch, that will be sweet all by itself.
Yeah, it would be nice, and could also possibly teach some people throttle control. Heh, I'll love it when all the noobs just spin on the start, or crash after 60ft.
