Update Speculation thread

pass the bag, will ya?

 

You'd probably want the Bastion 6.5, but why would you do that when you can get the same power (or more) from what is most likely a 4.0 DOHC flatplane V8? Seems like it would be too heavy, plus a boat anchor like that might not even fit

 

Just now

 

yeah but its qa latest which doesnt mean anything iirc

 

probably just an automated build

 

Yep, these jokes are what I was referring to as well.

 

Torque. Though, in that case a Gavril 6.0 or electric motor would be better.

 

It doesn't need it.

An American Supercar with the Bruckell 6.5 would be ace though!

 

On the other hand, i wanna see an option to swap the Scintilla's V10 or V12 into the Bastion.

 

You don't need torque when you have horsepower, high RPM and the right gearing. Might be slower off the line but it'll catch up once the engine gets up to speed. The launch will also be more manageable since you won't immediately do a wheelie or break the tires loose. Might be worth making a video to prove this someday!

 

Means nothing

Edit: Nevermind I only just saw the "when was the last tdev post?" bit, my bad

 

What's special about that ? He clearly stated it's coming in the middle of next wee kand simply would have hoped it could come sooner

 

I was replying to BeezNeez

 

replied before you edited

 

i really hope it comes mid next week would be perfect

 

In a drag race, you aren't likely to ever hit top speed as you're only going an eighth or a quarter mile. Acceleration is by far the most important factor. This is why massive V8s, deisels, and electric motors are the weapons of choice for drag racers.

Edit: don't forget that LBFT is also part of the horsepower equation. Most drag spec big blocks are hitting over 800hp without nitrous.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see a V8 swap. People do swap TT LS engines into Lamborghini's and the like once in awhile, and the game really needs more engine swaps. I would expect to see the Gavril V8 over the Bruckell V8 just for packaging reasons.

 

That's why you need the right gearing

 

y'all are excited to drive the scintilla im excited to see the crappy meshslap heaven videos with it in them
