Um, now that isn’t a good sign! For the records I consider “beached like a sperm whale” to be bad feedback, it says nothing about the problems you are having.

So do you think you could actually tell me something about what is going on here? Are you flying into the corners and dropping off the other side of the track? Understeer, oversteer, something that actually says anything?

Also make sure that you are using the ORIGINAL suspension kit and not the semi-racing. I have seen this mistake happen to Fumes with his MX-5 setup.

Edit works for me...

(here is the edited text)

The metafore 'handles like a beached sperm whale' indicates that it doesn't handle, at all. lol I should have clarified. It just slides through turns as if on ice. Also, when I try out setups, I try to utilize as much of the same components as the tuner, so yes I was using the original suspension, etc. I had to slow down to as low as second gear to maneuver through corners that I normally could have taken in 4th. I don't think it has anything to do with the actual settings you use other than I don't have the Driving Force Pro, although your Mustang GT setting worked well. -shrugs-

Use LSD on a sub-400hp car? There aren’t many of them in that category that need it and the few that do are mostly FF drivetrains. It would just be a waste to purchase it for this car and it wouldn’t benefit enough from it.



The springs are set tight so you must have meant the shocks right?

adzefc - I'd appreciate if you advertise your site elsewhere (link in your sig), as it's purpose is basically the same as GTVault.

I thought about that, but if he is just pushing the car to hard why would he need to downshift so much?

@Ne0nDrag0n: What are the corners you are taking rated at? What is the gear you are taking them in? What I mean by rated is; what is the flashing red gear light saying you need to be at, you know that red number we all ignore?

aaww come on man i thought we was all on the same side

if it means that much to you i will delete the link

90% of the time, I test at Infineon Sports Car, unless someone has posted a time at a specific track for me to guage myself against. A few corners I had problems with at Infineon would be the S curves after the Start/Finish line, the long, descending left hander...and the switchbacks before the hairpin. I remember usually having to go a gear lower than the Red gear indication. I drive with manual transmission controlls, so I tend to pay attention to what numbers are flashing around. I do have a tendency to over-drive...fast in, slow through, fast out...attacking apexes, what have you. I'll give this setup a second chance and drive like I've got some sense and report back any new findings this evening.

OK, so..I tried this setup again. It seemed a little more well behaved, yet I kept going off track in the same exact places. My very first lap was a 1'43.648...I ran 11 laps afterwards, never matching that time. I retract my previous statement and say this: It's decent.

Umm, well after running it on Infineon – Sports Car Course I came up with average laps of 1’43.xxx and a hot lap of 1’42.389. I will need a bench mark to go against at this point as this seems pretty tight to me. Especially when you consider this is a road setup so it will not max out on any one course, but it should be able to run on any you need it to! Also I noticed that the auto is set wrong for Infineon, as with any other Road Setup the auto may need adjusting for the track.
