Racer X
You scored -25%


Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an ass while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

Sounds about right to me...except "and you can probably hold your own on the track too." might be a bit of an understatement.

Gran Turismorator
You scored -11%

You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a shitload of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.


Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2 and Group S Challenge.....Pretty much right on in their assumptions.

The test is kinda biased toward import guys

If you want to learn more about turbo charging you could always put two on the Z :headbang:

I don't think I could tear down my engine and rebuild it though.

-15% Gran Turismorator. That Was Interesting And We Should Be Able To See Who Really Is A Ricer/poser

Filled it out with the opposite of what my original answers were... this is what came up.

Depending on how you look at it, you either did awesome, or your worst fears are realized....you are, in fact, a ricer. Your vehicle world consists of large exhaust, large wheels, larger wings, and small engines. Every penny you earn goes into making your stock compact the gnarliest looking creation on god's green earth. The author of the test is of the opinion that you should probably be shot...but what does he know, his spoiler isn't even a foot tall. Congrats you fucking ricer

Yep, Loose is fast. Too loose is a spin into the wall.

[TurboL67]

'you' can control oversteer, to a degree, but understeer (in fwd cars) is the devil.

understeer owns me. :???:

[RACER1269]

Counter-steering is what you do on a motorcycle...

[RACER1269]

Counter-steering is what you do on a motorcycle...
yeah i didnt know what that was. i knew it wasnt understeer. so i went with the one i wasnt familar with. i think i would have done better if i didnt own a AWD WRX, but i dont see why a WRX would be considerd rice. lol . :mike:

[DustnF]

Counter-steering is what you do on a motorcycle...

What???Counter-steer is when you steer the opposite direction of the turn in order to keep the car pointed down the road when the rear is getting out from under you. I guess you would conter steer a bike also :shrug:

[TurboL67]

I guess you would conter steer a bike also :shrug:
yep

[RACER1269]

yeah i understand now. it is basicaly drifting. hey im a drag racer not a autox racer. i get it now though.

I think we may be talking about two different things with the same name then :mike:
Counter-steering on a bike is always in effect above a certain speed (let's just guesstimate at 10mph). Once you go faster than that, you turn the wheel in the opposite direction you want to travel, even starting in a straight line.

So if I'm on a bike and want to go left, I turn the handlebars to the right? I don't think that's going to take me to the left.

[SloNLo_350]

When going faster it helps the bike lean over, but i think at 10mph you don't have to lean too much. But you CAN countersteer a bike:

[Greg Kulbick]

Yeah, if the rear is sliding out, you don't turn the opposite direction to turn in general.

[Signal 12]

i thought counter steer was a spell for dungeons and dragons :ryan:
