i don't like the rally version of gt4. the handling is just way too skittish because it is way too easy to drift. it seemed to be alot better in gt3.

shaddup!learn to drive!
thanks for posting -- you set a goal for this session
Mine's Skyline GT-R N1 V-spec (R34)
1'15.982"
Amuse CarbonR (R34) '04
1'14.598"
that .598 came after many, many laps. the rwd Amuse is a MUCH, MUCH better handling car than the understeering awd Mine's model, for those who haven't tried it. it also brakes so much better that i had to mentally replot all my braking points.
Cool , lets say the Amuse S2000 street version , any power or drivetrain mods allowed , no NOS ...... BUT Sports soft tires only ! Lets get a little drift action happening
The S2000s handle great but limiting the grip will throw a curve ball into the equation. No cutting the last corner either , not that it will save much time anyway. Course: Deep forest normal.
My Amuse CarbonR is showing 874hp in the garage. Like Toshi said , being RWD makes it a lot better around corners. My best time at Laguna so far is 1:14.747. If I don't post again before the deadline , that will be my time for submission. Its looking close here , a few 1:14s being posted ! Cool !
Well said, after using the AWD version it was a whole nother ball game with this car.thanks for posting -- you set a goal for this session

Of course you're still about two seconds fast than me right now. My best last night was 1'16.679, but I'll be putting in more laps tonight. How is your car set up?

You call the shots, it's your choice. Luckily this car is light so it should still handle well with Sport tires.
0/0/3 driving aids. camber in the -3.5/-2.8 range. race suspension 5 mm off the bumpstops, and something like 13.1 rate f/r.
1.14.813...haha...I'm back in the hunt...D
hmm....now I'm down to 1.14.623 with the Amuse GTR....I think I may have found a faster car...I need to try and work out the settings.....D

Some fine tuning on the LSD made a difference to the Carbon GTR , not much , but it helped cornering a little. My settings there : 15 / 13 / 10
For the next challenge (just to clarify):
All power mods , drivetrain , suspension , brakes allowed
Sports soft tires only , no NOS , weight reduction or increase rigidity allowed.
sscccreeeeeeeccchhh. Get used to that sound !
Cheers

And the new challange Toshi? Officially?
1.21.454 to start.
Sh1t, I should have looked at the first page, I did weight restrictions. Sigh. Thanks for the heads up Noah, I think ??

oh, just as a heads up, i'm going to make the arbitrary decision that this particular challenge series will end after #8. this is because my current points lead is nearly unassailable if i do this 
and because i'll be on a road trip from june 16 through july 6.
i highly encourage you all to continue to post challenges in this thread, and i'll start a new series or continue whatever one you all start once i get back to civilization. when the 8th challenge expires i'll change the "current challenge" red text in the first post to point to the last post of this thread and instruct the reader to look there.

I know this thread is deep into the pursuit of grand touring, but anyone compete in Tourist Trophy? I've got about 96% of this game finished. I like it more than Gran Tourismo because it's more challenging in the sense that you actually crash and have to get back on your bike. Difficult to win if your eye-hand coordination sucks. Can't really ride walls, crap like that.
i can pretty much guarantee that the extra top end of a stage 4 turbo will win out over na in GT4, driveability in the real world be damned...
There I go being realistic again
What suspension settings are you messing with Toshi?
lowering my suspension did bad things to my curb hitting ways
It seems like increasing the camber compromised my traction too?
With those tires I'm thinking you need more camber to handle the corners better. That's just me though.
While I need to buy a new car and 'not' reduce the weight, I had the car set up pretty damn well. Healthy drop on it, I increased the spring rate a little and increased the camber a lot. Car was running pretty well.

We should totally do a ridemonkey Unreal Tournament game or something.
so it turns out that there is no stage 4 option, only stage 3 turbo, and it's actually pretty driveable, in as much as a car with 450+ hp, rwd, and simulated soft street tires is.There I go being realistic again

irate2: from my initial shakedown laps: suspension 12.2/13.1, 65/65, 8/8, 8/8, 4.0/3.1, 0/0, 6/6, driving aids 0/0/0, transmission at 9 (hitting the rev limiter a few times in 6th, maybe 10 would be better), and nothing really else to report. no illegal weight reduction, either
1'20.568": 0'26.111", 0'57.123" splits.
So I bought a new car and didn't get any weight reduction.
My current time is 1:19.971. That's a pretty clean lap I think but it's difficult to tell because the car slides so much. All in all though I'm pretty pleased with that time.

So start a Halo thread!!!!!
There have been several Halo threads, I just prefer to keep hijacking this one.
So are you gonna get back online with your XBox then Jimmie?
Of course, I just need to find my broken XBox headset. When do you plan to be on?
Damn! I forgot to post my time for the last challenge......oh well, only got a 1:19 something anyway......no points for me...
I'll actually try on this challenge :biggrin:
I'll actually try on this challenge :biggrin:
I'll send you my spare. Hell, I'm not even using the Xbox sinve I got the 360...
I'll include it with the frame.
I dunno, this weekend maybe? Next week? Pretty much whenever, just good times...
1:18.683 Now im off to mount snow to race in the rain!
