• August 27, 2008 vDream Poll 5: Entry Level Domestic Car

    07:10am by Cheechoo (Site)

    The results of the last poll were: the 69 Camaro won with 39% of the vote, so that will be the next vDream you will see! The rest were: 22% for the Cuda, 22% for the Charger, and 17% for the GTO. We also found out more about you guys: 61% of you actively modify your car, 20% of you just play car related video games, 15% of you are interested in cars, and 3% of you just like social games. Barack Obama was our most desired bobblehead with 15%, followed by a mere 7% for McCain. Chuck Norris got 2%, and the rest were random funny things like: Paris Hilton, Borat, a dog, the stig, and even Lijen. Funny stuff!

    We need an entry level American car on vDream, and we believe it’s important to expand the lower car segment to give new users more choices. Help us choose your favorite!

    POLL HAS BEEN CLOSED! RESULTS: Dodge SRT-4 54%, Chevrolet Cobalt SS 29%, Ford Focus SVT 17%. YOU WILL SEE A DODGE SRT-4 IN THE COMING WEEKS.

    I picked the SRT-4 lots of turbos and mopar upgrades for them. They are very fast cars once tuned

  • August 27, 2008

    I agree! I also chose the 2004 Dodge SRT-4 because of it’s turbo applications and other performance parts & accessories that increase it’s HP & torque more dramatically than many other cars in it’s “class.”

    I raced one at the track about 2-3 months back and I can’t remember the trap speed (the MPH at the end of a drag race) but I do remember it was of the 2004 model and it ran in the mid 11’s, which was quite impressive for a hot and humid Florida day in the Summer! Considering it didn’t have drag radials or slicks, I was very impressed! That car could easily have hit the low 11’s or high 10’s in the 1/4 with NOS and the right tuning!!! So, I’m going with the Dodge SRT-4! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Go vDream!!!

    Still need to fix the retards who challenge with empty tanks. Fix it so you can’t challenge while your tank is empty or so if it is empty when someone accepts you lose!!!!!!!!!

  • August 27, 2008

    ^ That probably would be better if you didnt fill up your tank, and they accept the challenge, its an automatical loose for the challenger. Because mainly, the guy challenges a guy with a full tank but after all those races he’s/she’s gone through they might have an empty tank but they already sent out the challenge.

    - 12:48pm

    by Robbie

  • August 27, 2008

    Sheesh…i mean people cant always make sure their tank is on F all the time. Its one thing to accept a challenge on E (then u automatically lose, that a bonehead move) but if u send out 15 challenges a day and somehow find yourself on E over the course of time and someone accepts your challenge, an automatic loss is kinda harsh.

    - 04:16pm

  • August 27, 2008

    Oh and the SRT 4 has STAGE kits straight from the dealer that make that car a monster, i know i’ve ran my fair share of them, but u shiuld factor in reliability issues (they always breaking someting).

    - 04:18pm

    by Karson

  • August 27, 2008

    yeah srt4’s are fast, but no1 can launch it right, lol im not saying i can, yeah i chose it, but i also hate that car at the same time, this car actually has potential, unlike the other 2 canidates lol

    hey lijen, i got some ideas for the gtr, it weights way too much, i didnt know m3’s can win easily over it lol, i see stock exhaust, manifold, turbochargers, stock side skirts, tops, and headlights, i got a big idea for headlights, this picture should tell u lol http://www.genuineperformance.net/images/re28.jpg , maybe we could have that option of every car, as a enchanced version of the intake, as for bodyparts for the gtr, godzilla has all these stock parts, it needs carbonfiber top,skirts,rear lip, maybe instead of the front lip gtr’s have, like on mine, maybe just one whole new front bumper..? http://blogs.enginehead.com/images/2007/11/25/gtr_rendition.jpg , btw that thing is SICK, that would be a perfect example, wide carbon fiber bodykit, godzilla would be light as a biiiish lol

    rims wise, as i asked int he last olpmpics blog, black bbs lm rims, these are sick http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/carlabms/Picture001.jpg

    thanks guys

    On the issue of running out of gas, I am going to fix that this weekend. I know that’s affecting a lot of users, so I’ll focus on getting that fixed ASAP. Here’s how it will work. If a user runs out of gas when someone else accepts a challenge then they will receive a loss as their car will run out of gas during the actual race. Once their tank is on empty, all accepted challenges that they have sent will be automatically canceled when another user accepts the challenge. Please submit a support ticket here and let me know if this happens to you so that I can manually erase the chicken outs from your account for now.

    Anas, those parts are looking nice. Put them through the part submission system here! Cheechoo checks those regularly when making our part releases. By the way, that GTR looks SICK

  • August 27, 2008

    SRT-4 would be a sick add to this app. Starting out with that would def allow you to mod it and use it for a bit while you are makin money to upgrade to a new car. Also I understand the whole weight issue with these cars but when I am racing a car with the same horses and torque why is it that my downforce parts dont let me win the race its a toss up. The other car that is without a front lip kit, spoiler and side skirts has the same chance of winning as me? A little odd considering my parts would keep my tires on the ground a little better than not.

    - 06:13pm

    by Joe

  • August 27, 2008

    I voted for the SRT-4 as well…Many aftermarket parts and, afterall, it has the biggest stock turbo in its class!!!...I would still love to see the MKIV Supra though…I could give many parts suggestions for the Supra haha!!!!

    Ok, so I nominated Chuck Norris for bobbleheadification. I figuured I wasnt going to be the only one. I guess Chuck can beat all except presidential candidates in a bobblehead poll.

    On a side note, I might just ditch the viper if the camaro can pull off good numbers. It’s a shame the cuda didnt take the win…

    Keep up the good work vDream developers!

    Sweet vdream civic sean. Papa Doc, that 11 sec SRT wouldnt happen to have been at Bradenton Motorsports Park would it? I’ve got a couple SRT buddies in the high-11 low-12 range. I drive the Focus, but it’s got much less potential than the SRT. SRT for the win; only problem, FWD

    I want to add my thought’s on these cars…. THEY ALL SUCK. NEON? FOCUS? COBALT? WTF…. Why? I dispise all those car’s and honestly think anyone who drives them are idiots. I really don’t even hate on people either on what they drive unless it is rice, but those 3 choices are all very poor and the only people who purchase them are retards who know nothing about cars. If they did, they would obviously know not to buy it. All mistakes.

    Hey, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Our main focus right now is balance, and there is an obvious gap in entry level domestic cars. Imports, on the other hand, are currently over-represented.

    - 08:56am

    by Lijen

  • August 28, 2008

    Balance is one of the purposes of vDream. I understand if some people are fans of a certain brand or region, as I am, but I still have to take one for the team and build some cars I don’t like. Hell, I have to BUILD cars in the system that I don’t even like! The whole point is that some people out there like them, and putting them on vDream will make a group of people happy. I feel like putting an entry-level Domestic car will balance us quite well, and make some people happy. And that’s more than enough for me! There will always be fanboys and hateboys of certain brands and models, but we should all learn to take it in stride, and realize that not everybody’s tastes are the same.

    On a lighter note, the Saleen should be coming soon, and the Camaro is being completed faster than we thought.

    I got a question: What the difference between yellow to orange parts ? I am asking because I don’t understand what wheels should I get for my viper: “Volk Racing TE-37 Bronze, 19”R 18”F” – yellow or “OZ Racing Ultraleggera, 19”R 18”F” – orange but look better on my black viper. They both cost the same and weight the same but the OZ Racing ones are look better on my car.

    - 08:16am

    by Viper owner

  • August 29, 2008

    nothing really, all that matters is the weight, at least thats what would be be best, money shouldnt be an issue, go with what looks best and weights less

    right now imgetting 605HP, 533tq, and weight is 3456lbs…..and i have lost a quite a few races but won many more because of this car. so overall im happy. time to start saving for the salleen now

    - 01:52pm

    by Robert Rivera Jr

  • August 29, 2008

    The Viper is getting much better stats then the GTR: I got 651 HP, 660 ft-lbs, 3,327 lbs and I still got original sits, front bumpers, wheels and no supercharger, turbo charger or intake manifolds. so it can be much better. So why buy GTR ? The Saleen is a supercar – got alot HP (700) and Tq (750) and the price of a supercar. Viper cost 82K in game when in real life it is 88K, The Saleen cost in real life about 580K. so even if it will be half in the game. you can get Viper full upgrade for less money. But at least you have some thing to save for.

    - 02:20pm

    by SAAM007

  • August 29, 2008

    ive never seen a viper with 700 or more HP or anything with over 750tq. plus, if they can make it so having a mid engine over the rear wheels actually matters for grip a little bit, it will eat your viper anyway.

    Right now you can only have 1 car in your garage. We’re getting a ton of requests for more garage space, so its def on the radar.

I am happy with the Viper (I still need a lot more money to update it) but I prefer the Civic look on the Viper.
