Forza 3 Drag Racing

Anyone know how to set up cars for this, I've tried doing most of the obvious things but im still just spinning my rear wheels like crazy off the line or not moving at all. I just cant seem to get any traction. Any help guys?

its just the game. noone is getting traction. no wheels, to lifting one wheel, nothing. theres a petition going around to get turn10 to make the strip stickier.

yeah it really sucks. they should have a burnout box, and be able to lift the front tires if the car has the power to do so.

Ditch the silly racing game, and get a real game. COD4 part two.

Has anyone actually spoken to turn 10 or heard anything confirmed, i would really like to see this changed. Burnout box and traction would be nice to have. It shouldn't be this hard to break into the 11s with a 900+hp car.

You don't need a burnout box. You can monitor tire temp. Just hold the brakes and mash the throttle and wait til the tires get up to temp then stage
