Roll racing is better and easier to come by on the hiway. i cant get traction below 3rd gear without lighting up the tires.
its pretty much pointless unless im doing like 3/4 throttle

It might just be my tires that suck (kumho ecsta supra 285/40/17)

I don't know how much power you're making, but I haven't found anything other than MT ET streets that will hold for me.

In my N/a Supra (whe it was running that is) from a dig, or 40mph roll. In my b20 powered teg, from a dig, or 20mph roll because top suffers in that car.

Thanks Dave, I'll do some research on those. At the moment, I'm making 640 and I plan on turning the boost up a little bit pretty soon. I can still punch mine in second and at about four grand the tires will spin like crazy even with the et streets. My brand new Goodyear eagle f1's would do it in third at about seventy mph. I still have them in my garage but they're practically useless on my car.

You want a roll? Go to the fucking baker, you wanna race line that shit up and do the damn thing. I fucking hate it when some ricer fuck comes up next to me on the highway and tries to kick it or tries a flyby. And I always hate the excuse I cant get traction till, 4th or 5th, blah blah blah... You spend all that money going fast, spends some on suspension and tires so you can make use of power. Ive seen 300hp cars kill 500hp cars on the street cause they cant make use of that power. Shits weak!

End of Rant...

What about those of us who HAVE spent money on suspension and tires?

The only thing that makes my car stick in first gear is full race slicks, and there's no way I'm going to drive on those anywhere off track.

Then its pointless for you to race off the track. The point Im trying to make is if your not bringing your "A" game then wtf is the point. I mean shit Vin Diesel goes from a dig... LOL!

Translation: You'd own me in a roll race, so the only way I'm going to race you is from a dig.
My car does both very well, but it's kinda of inconvenient and a bit sketchy to be driving down the road, have someone pull up next to you and ask you to come to a complete stop in the middle of the highway, do a burn out, and then race.

No shit... However you look at it roll racing isn't really racing. It was invented by people with lack of traction or have nothing but top end power. So it is more or less just handicap racing.

Anyone street racing with traffic around is a moron to start with, respect your life and others. Find a road that is closed or a nice highway that has no traffic at night. Then you can do your burnout and race.

Tell that to the police and see what they think.

"Oh its alright officer, I wasn't really racing. I don't know if you noticed, but I started from a roll."

Lack of Traction? or Abundance of Convience?

That's just like saying drag racing isn't real racing, it's handicap racing for people who can't brake or turn. You know full well the compromises that have to be made to set a car up for drag racing. Most people don't want a car JUST for drag racing, which is where roll racing comes in. Not everybody with 700+ hp wants a backhalved solid axle car on full slicks.

I believe the old saying goes something like "racing a Honda is like running in the special olympics, even if you win..."

And I think there is an old saying "whats the difference between a 500hp Supra and a 700hp Supra, nothing cause they both run 12's" No matter what the vehicle if its fast I give em props, but it has been said time and time again Supra owners are an embarassment to there name. Dont get me wrong there are some fast guys here but the majority are far from there potential just because of there driving skills.
