CPM 2 Best Drag Car Setups: Topaz Wagon, Scirocco, and Hoonicorn Tuning

Building a dominant quarter-mile car in CPM 2 relies on choosing high-torque engine swaps, optimizing gearbox ratios, and heating up drag slick tires.

Topaz Car Town Station Wagon Budget Drag Build

The **Topaz Car Town** station wagon represents one of the most effective budget options in CPM 2. Purchasing the vehicle requires only 12000 in game money without spending any coins. Despite its modest styling, swapping in a **VR38** engine transforms the lightweight chassis into a drag strip contender capable of clocking 6.8 seconds. After dropping in the motor, install full performance upgrades, a turbocharger, and a **Sema 7** or **Sema 6** gearbox paired with a stage 3 clutch. Retain stock gearbox configurations and stock two-way LSD settings to keep launching simple. Suspension requires sufficient stiffness to stabilize the lightweight body during hard acceleration. Wrap the wheels in fresh drag slick tires at default pressure, maintain engine oil, and burn **E85** fuel to produce around 2300 horsepower.

Volkswagen Scirocco M838T Supercharged Setup

The **Volkswagen Scirocco** costs 18000 in game money and serves as a prime foundation for sub-7 second drag times. The optimal setup begins by swapping in the **M838T** engine. While turbochargers are popular, creator testing from Verge Gaming demonstrates superchargers win in drag races on the Scirocco setup, hitting 6.5-second passes when paired with supercharging and heated drag slick tires. Pair the supercharged power plant with a **ZF4HP22** transmission and a stage 3 clutch plate. The factory suspension can stay mostly stock as it handles track forces well. Switch to sticky drag tires, optimize rim dimensions for maximum traction, and fill the tank with **E85** fuel for a 100 horsepower increase. Before lining up at the staging lights, always perform a burnout to heat up tires, enabling the build to deliver 6.7 seconds and reach 6.5 second passes.

Ford Hoonicorn Monster Displacement Setup

Racers seeking maximum displacement can prepare the **Ford Hoonicorn** for straight-line competition. Begin by refreshing worn components to restore prime condition, then install the large 11565cc engine. Fit a supercharger alongside the 11 A2 universal upgrade for consistent boost delivery. Power is routed through a **ZF4HP20** gearbox configured to maintain optimal torque delivery down the drag strip — see our gearbox and gear ratio tuning guide for transmission presets. Fine-tune suspension settings to maintain high-speed stability when launching off the line. Fueling requires **E85**, and maintaining tire pressure at 2.4 bar delivers reliable contact with the strip. Dyno settings should be tuned specifically for competition rather than casual street cruising.

Drag Tournament Classes and Coin Farming

Tuned drag cars serve as reliable tools for farming coins across drag tournament tiers — our guide on how to get gold coins outlines tournament payouts alongside daily task rewards. Entering the Unlimited class with the **Volkswagen Scirocco** yields a reward of 2200 coins. Racers can also campaign the **Supra MK5** powered by the **S62** engine in the S9 class to collect another 1500 coins. For competitors aiming at S10 class payouts of 1000 coins, removing the turbocharger from the **Supra MK5** slows acceleration into the required window. Beyond tournament ladders, high-output builds like the **Nissan GTR R34** Godzilla setup push dyno numbers beyond 3200 horsepower using a **2JZ** swap and **GR6** gearbox, recording quarter-mile times around 7.9840 seconds.
