With Showdown broken the Mercury Coupe is the fastest. Unless there are other actual Drag Races we can race.
Why are so many things broken in this game? where was the beta testing team? Man, Christmas is going to come and there’s going to thousands of new gamers all complaining about bugs. Turn10 needs to step up their game.
Mate send me settings for Ford GT HE pls
I did some drag races in a Lamborghini this weekend to get the #Forzathon achievement. It wasn’t tuned for drag racing and I wasn’t really wasn’t interesting in tuning it to win. I’m not a drag racing fan. I did notice something that struck me as odd. Someone in a D class car was always winning and by a large margin. He was doing times around 26 seconds. He was also get a 10 second head start. I’m not sure that was over me in an S1 class car or everyone. Regardless, with a 10 second head start, it would take a car completing the race in 16 seconds to win. From what I’ve read in this thread that seems impossible.
I did see someone mention about D class cars ruining the drag races because of their head starts. Does 26 seconds seem reasonable for a D class car? The reason I’m asking this is the car’s PI wasn’t the maximum for D class. It was 450 something.

It’s the same for C class cars like the Mercury.
The head-start timer is miscalculated to the point that it is impossible to win against these cars, so Showdowns are effectively completely broken and a waste of time.
There are so many game-breaking bugs in FH3, and people are worried about graphical issues.
CriticalmassZ, thanks for the response. I thought it was something like that.
At the start of the Showdowns it says on the side that lower class cars will get a head start. Not sure about what the timing of class/start are but people are using C class cars to take advantage, yes I did initially unintentionally. Part of this is that if you leave stock tires you can put the Ford Deluxe Coupe and Wagon (others I’m sure) to over 1,000 HP and stay in C class. I get 26 second times with my Coupe and it is not tuned for drag.
So, two potential problems, one - the time delay for class differences while competing against each other and two - the ability to overpower certain car types and remain in the lower classes.
Já venci alguns Mercury Coupe com o Ford Escort RS 1800 na mesma Classe C, mas é impossível ganhar de todos.
I have already won some Mercury Coupe with the Ford RS 1800 in the same Class C after many adjustments and tests, but it is impossible to see all

In my opinion drag racing is absolutely the area that turn 10, playground games, whomever, needs to give attention to. These one mile top speed things, especially with the head start and everyone using AWD V12’s it’s no fun.
There needs to be a 1/4, 1/8th mile track somewhere. A tree, a light, something. It’s the biggest things that I have a hard time with for all the forza titles. The afterthought that is drag racing.
I just hit a 19.052 with my dart tune but it doesn’t seem as quick as it could be. Against all the other 19.052 darts i launch better and gain about a half odd cars length but then my gearing seems to let me down and they start to pull back until we finish level. I’ve currently got it set up as a 3 gear tune but i was wondering if a 4 gear tune is faster? If anyone knows it would be great to know :).

Sometimes a wrong end gear makes the car unstable during the second to the third gear, losing an acceleration and RPM perfects. If you want, I could help you.
My fastest:
458 S: 19.2
Ford GT: 19.3
Aventador: 19.5
GTR Black Edition: 20.5
GTR 17: 20.6
Evo, Huracan & 02 Corvette all needs to be tweaked a bit (Got decent times on them though!)
Feel free to check out my tunes and times, gamer tag is: Nova Moe
I have posted some decent tunes, not the ones above though.
My Dodge Dart - 19.187 though i believe i can get a faster time
17 Ford GT - 19.419
Jaguar XJ220 - 19.751
So far from what ive found these are the fastest cars yet:
Dodge Dart 18.980 (new time)
Ford King Cobra 19.387
2017 Ford GT 19.453 {HE and normal}
Ferrari 458 s 19.453
Lamborghini Adventador 19.789all tunes are up in the storefront
My sesto elemento tune does the mile in 19.1 seconds. I can probaly get it below 19 with some fine tuning
me my fasted time was 20.98 with a 1979 toyota fj40
dont forget the lamborgini sesto elemento it does 19.5 to 19.6 if tuned right
My dart runs consistently in 19.3 , with tcs and stm both on and manual.
What is the best/cheapest car in horizon 3?
Manual with or without clutch
