Gran Turismorator
You scored -17%


You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a shitload of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

-28% racerX woot. I have a big problem with one of the questions they ask however.

20. Again, correct order. IC=intercooler, CC=combustion chamber, TC=turbocharger, UP=up-pipe, DP=down-pipe
Filter, IC, TC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust
Filter, TC, CC, IC, DP, UP, exhaust
Filter, TC, UP, IC, CC, DP, TC, exhaust
Filter, TC, IC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust

The correct Awnser which should be Filter, TC, UP, IC, CC, TC, DD, Exhaust was not listed. :x I should email them a message. "Whos the ricer now, bitch? "

The Non-Racer
You scored -1%

One of two things happened if you received this rating. Either you know absolutely nothing about tuner culture and chose "no idea" often. In this case, i guess i could say congratulations, but really you wasted your time taking this test...actually this test is a waste of time for everyone. The second option is a little rarer. You must be someone that knows a lot about either mechanics or racing, but jack about the other subject....or you're just guessing. Either way, congratulations....you're mediocre...but still not a ricer, for which you should be thankful

Racer X
You scored -29%


Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an ass while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

I got -14.Im happy with it but i was hoping for a bit closer to 20.

I think they should have had more technical questions and make it set up so u see if u know wat u are talking about when it comes to cars instead of wat u have been exposed to.

-9

the test is badly made. Some questions are common knowledge to many car fans. I don't play a lot of gt3, I don't even have a playstation, the only car game I play is needfor speed hot pursuit.
