    Drag Tag: drag race your own car in a simulator

    After weighing your car, testing aerodynamics and strapping it to the dyno you can race your car in the simulator against others either local or at other locations.

    Sounds cool, I would do it but it probably costs a fortune.

    this looks like a rally course...i'm supposed to turn the wheels on a AWD car on a dyno?

    i'd rather go to the strip to where if there isn't a malfunction i don't end up in my neighbors pool with a hole in the side of my house

    They had these out at pri last year.

    Worst thing is it can't really account for tire spin as it doesn't spin much when strapped down.

    I bet its like $500+ to do it for a few runs. Id rather hit the tracks and feel the power come on. Its not like we have to drive hours to get to a track.

    Only advantage I see this having is being able to dyno and tune the car while measuring 1/4mi et and trap speeds.
