Just want to say, i have also fitted my 67 mustang boss with all-wheel drive and upgraded engine. After turning it for drag i get 265 mph.

Well, so far I haven’t had the time to play much so there aren’t many new tunes or paint jobs posted yet. These first builds shared may end up being more, in my eyes, just really sweet street rods, not necessarily for the outback so to speak. Basically, this morning I built a '57 Chevy and with the Blower and how low you can drop it, it looks soooo cool. I’ll start getting some “real” stuff out soon. But if you’re into cruising in some cool rides, there will be some of those coming very soon!!

I’ve got a couple.more cars in the storefront. A B Class Torana, a couple S1 Syclones and a couple others. The paints for the General Lee and Rosco’s Cruiser are shared, still trying to settle on the tune for each, most likely will be RWD A Class when done and saved. More for playing around than racing, but should still be good and fast! Stay tuned!!
Well I’ve had a couple small chunks of time to get a couple Hazzard County cars done. I chose A Class and kept the General and Hazzard Cop cars RWD as these weren’t really “race” builds anyway. More for playing around. The Jeep Wrangler is AWD still, but A class as well. So…
General Lee, A Class, RWD paint available
Hazzard County Cruiser RWD paint available
Daisy’s Jeep “Dixie” AWD
I did build and share a few new cars and paintjobs, just forgot to list them. I will update whats available this week and get something posted up here.
Gonna start hitting some Rivals and working on some of the slower, lower class cars 1st. There will still be some ridiculously over powered fun cars too, lol.
At lunch this afternoon, I worked on my 1st real effort for Drag Racing for Horizon 3. It’s a '69 Camaro Z/28 HE. It’s what I was in at the time, lol.
Anyway, i am not really going to be getting into the whole AWD V12 thing. At least not for a while, but I want to start getting some good tunes worked out. I just need to know where you street racers race and what sort of times or speeds should I be looking for. Something besides the standing mile business that’s what is passing for drag in this game.
As I said, I shared on my storefront the 1st of hopefully many drag tunes. RWD! Cars that make sense for the most part, lol. Any feedback would be awesome!!
Just finished up a D class Alfa GTA. AWD light weight pit fighter!! I’m not that strong of a driver and got some pretty good times with it. Certainly worth a try!! Posted up a nice MSS Style Paintjob up on the storefront also. Enjoy!
Feedback always welcome on any tune or paint!!
Starting to build and shared some tunes and paints for various “Kingmaker” cars and trucks. I plan to get a list of what I’ve got shared very soon!!
I enjoyed the afternoon running some laps in a few different C Class cars for HLR Moss’ Hot Lap Challenge. I shared a '40 Ford, a Torana, an El Camino. Those are all AWD, race suspension.
I also spent some time building a few 1/4 mile drag cars. I think they’re all in S1, all are RWD. I would very much appreciate any feedback on these as I’m wanting to know whats "competitive in the "Street Racing " scene.
When I build and tune, I use the runway. When you look at the map, on the south side of the runway there’s a small black dot next to the road. The set of white stripes next to that dot is roughly a 1/4 mile to the camera. I try to get at least 155mph or so but am pleased when I’m quicker.
The drag tunes shared,
- Buick GNX S1 RWD
- '66 Nova S1 RWD
- '79 Z/28 S1 RWD
- Escalade S1 RWD, this was just for fun but still prerty fast for 4000lbs!
There ya go, hope they’re useful and fun!! There are also paintjobs for most of those, more than one paint for a couple. Please let me know what ya think!
Just wondering if anybody has given any of these a run. Any thoughts? I’ve got 5 or 6 more to share but was wanting some idea of what the concensus is. I’d rather fix whatever needs fixed or changed before sharing any more. Granted with drag tunes, I imagine most just rebuild and retune, which gearing alone can be miles different for every driver.
I will give em a go this weekend if i remember, not home atm. Most cars benefit from using stock intercooler/oil cooler and stock flywheel incase u didnt know.
Cool man!! Yeah, I usually take glance it the benchmark while building. Sometimes I get excited and go for the 1000 plus hp, lol. In FM6, I’m pretty confident in my drag tunes. With this game, I’ve got nothing to really go by comparison speaking.
I do know usually the higher the suspension the quicker and some of the other forza oddities. I tend to try to make stuff that looks cool for me, since some of these cars look really cool slammed! Anyway, let me know what ya think. Like I said, they can be tweaked. I’ve adjusted most of 'em even since I shared them.
I worked on a few more 1/4 mile drag tunes and put the up in the ol’ Speed Shop’s Storefront. I’d love some feedback, good or bad.
-
'40 Ford, 962hp Twin Turbo 427, 2501 lbs
-
'93 Cobra, foxbody 962hp, blown 427
-
’ 14 Chevy SS Twin Turbo, it’s S2 but barely
-
'66 Nova, rebuild of current shared tune with no intercooler
-
'66 Nova Twin Turbo 427
-
'78 Mustang “Procharged” with intercooler to make 2500 lbs
I haven’t gotten bored doing this yet and plan to keep building and sharing. I’m gonna try all different stuff suspension wise, engine wise. Probably not too much with the AWD or V10/V12 swaps. Just not my thing. Again, feedback is always welcome!!
Also, chances are, if there’s a tune in my storefront, there’s usually at least one paintjob for it!
I’m going to start up some lobbies for testing and tuning. Alot of it will be 1/4 mile drags, something to get the get your feet wet before trying any “Top 10” Lists. Or just have some fun, plain ol’ grudge racin’! Certainly will end up in other races or working on other types of tunes. Just something for trying different things out and having some fun.
Just looking for folks to mess around and work on cars with, a little less pressure or less formal than running list races. I’d be down to try some list racing, I just have no idea where my cars stack up and can’t really commit to being on at certain times. On call alot, work weird hours.
Anyway, if anybody is down to just chill and have some fun, send a message, post up here, add me or whatever.
I finally got some time lining up against somebody for these drag cars. I realize now I’ve been too idealistic and tuned them, gear wise, much more FM6 like. I will be returning and in some cases re tuning alot of these.
So if you liked them at all, they’re only gonna be better and if your just downloading for the build, that should be just fine. On most that are shared as of now, I used race suspension, and they’re all relatively slammed. 2 things I know kill a little bit of acceleration. Newer versions will have either higher stance in race or just a switch to rally suspension.
Either way, stay tuned. Plenty more coming. Test and tune nights/afternoons will be around now. Had a good time yesterday with the first one. We ran a bunch of S1-ish 1/4mile drags, then ran some circuits in various classes. Just a good time.
I’ve shared a few more cars. Different builds of a GNX and a ZR1 that snuck into S1 with Street or Sport tires. Still fast. I think I shared a new Nova build also. Theres a few more I haven’t either finished or shared yet.
I got bored and nerdy over the weekend and came up with my “FHRA” Classes and put them all on a vinyl design if you’d like to check out the “flyer”. As I’ve posted before, my friends and I are looking for folks to join up and race with us. Most of what we have built so far fall under the Pro Street or Outlaw classes. Working on adding more of the rest.
The classes, FOR NOW, seem to be balanced. The aim is to have RWD, FWD and AWD possibly line up together. I haven’t fully seen if this is possible yet or not. It might end up RWD v RWD, FWD v FWD… We have a bunch more building and testing to do, so stay tuned!! Should be fun anyway it works out.

I’ve built and shared some either rebuilt or newly built 1/4 mile drag cars along with a couple paints to go along with them for some street racing fun!! I’ve started not worrying too much about the PI beyond staying below X and RWD.
These next bunch of cars I build will all be in one of these 4 Chamionships, Classic Muscle, Retro Muscle, Modern Muscle or Rod and Customs. I have tunes for both the regular and HE Darts, I’ll get those up soon. I am trying to find what, if anything, is similar to the Dart for drag. Also to see if things like the Vipers are same as the Darts and too overpowered with the V10’s. I am hoping to find a way to host a “Drag Comp/Tuning Comp” and have a good selection of cars and keep them all balanced against each other.
'17 Camaro ZL1 S2
'95 Corvette ZR1 S2
'02 Corvette Z06
I’ll have a few more in the next few days. Please let me know what ya think! I’m trying to get most of these competitive with each other to make it more fun and more about the driving than the tune.

Have you messed with the 3rd gen Firebird at all? Sort of interested in building one, or a IROC-Z. I’d prefer them set up as standing mile cars rather than pure drag cars if that makes sense. 
I have a 3rd gen Camaro and have worked on an '87 T/A as well. Most of my tunes will work for the full mile but I dont “tune” for it persay. I also really don’t do the V12/V10/AWD thing but if that’s what you’re looking for I can work something up. Would you prefer the T/A or the IROC?
