Where is the best place to roll a car?

I know, i know... it's a bit of a strange thread, but i have never rolled a car, or seen an opponent roll theirs, and was just wondering if there were any "hot spots", where incidents like this usually happen.

Cheers.

Re: Where is the best place to roll a car?

I know T10 can't account for absolutely everything in the game but why can the Datsun 510 go 230mph? Surely this is not anywhere near physically possible in RL, the engine would rip itself from out of its bay

Re: Where is the best place to roll a car?

ah...

but surely it couldn't be done in real life, theoretically maybe but the amount of re-strengthening you'd end up encased in lead wouldn't you?

Top Gear once put a Lotus engine in a Lada, and had to strengthen everything. Think it cost £100,000 but it was done professionally and it ran perfectly well!!

Re: Where is the best place to roll a car?

I think the world's most powerful road legal car is some 2300bhp dragster Vauxhall Firenza in the Midlands. That would probably give a Veyron a good stuffing at least until the first corner...

I like the combination of old, lightweight chassis with modern high power engines, I'm glad it can be done in Forza even if a 510-Skyline swap is bonkers. Mind you I know that someone locally wants to fit a 450bhp 3SGTE engine (MR2/GT4) into a Yaris...

Re: Where is the best place to roll a car?

anything is possible with cars and engines, with enough money, anything is possible.

fensports 750bhp gen 7 Celica-X GTFour 3S-GTE powered car is quicker at accelerating than a veyron hitting 0-60mph in 2.6- 2.7 seconds and 196mph in a standing mile in its old form of around 650bhp and cost circa £75,000 in parts and it has less bhp and is only bored to 2100cc.

it was also significantly quicker up the goodwood festival of speed hill than toyota/ lexus new super car, the LF-A, which costs £322,000.

so as we say, anything is possible, with or without money, its knowing how to do it and being able to do it.

The sidewinder test tracks are the best for rolling. U really gotta watch the kerbs, prob depends on car too but once car tilts up even a bit it'll roll. Strange centre of gravity i think, Cool tho.
Here's one from me...
