Thread: Is your 1st gear worthless in your modded VE?

by looking at the vids i wouldnt consider that useless, just learn to control and drive the vehicle, my turbo car is useless in first gear, my 4th gear spins like your first gear

Slicks are night and day. My old t28 went from mid 13s to low 12s from street tires to slicks.

You can take a look at your slip at it will tell you almost exactly how much time you'll shave. The car will to from 1.6-1.9 60tfs w slicks. And every tenth of a second you shave off your 60ft will take 2 tenths off your 1/4 mile et.


Also just from looking at your trap speed you can get a pretty accurate idea of what you'll run on slicks...

After my car was above 210whp, it would blow away the tires in 1st no matter what (unless on slicks). Now its issues from 2nd gear rolls, N/A.

Yea I agree, a lot of these guys have low whp ves. When we're loosing traction in second rolling on 205/55 drag radials dont tell me I need more rubber or drivinglessons lol.

With a healthy vs 1st gear is a bitch sometimes.

I was laying 500 or so whp from a tuned rb27dett in a gtst rwd only. I could plant the throttle in any gear and break traction.

But if i spared the throttle funny enough i could control my traction,

Then i realised drifting was gay and bought another N1.

on paper i would have a low 13 car then ..... i pulled 13.92 @ 102 mph wid a 2.37 60'.... wid full car, slicks in trunk and tool pan.... only back seats was out

As it should be. 100-102 mph w a good launch is good for 13.2- 13.4

Get some slicks man!

I'm.running the same tires on my VEed B14 and if I roll into it I start to lose traction nothing serious but it break loose. Now from a dead stop and dumping the cluch traction is nowhere in sight. It all boils down to driver...

Oh those were more like launches. When I am moving at 15-20mph and stomp on the accelerator in 1st gear, it goes no where.
