I clocked 3.23 something on the Complex String last night in the F094/H, but I hate that track. It's flatter than Kansas, and every corner is blind. So I don't drive it too much.

I'll get my fastest cars and see what they can do at Leguna Seca. I used to despise that track too, but it's just okay now.

You can get a modified Viper up to nearly 270 on the Test Course - is that even possible in real life??

You can get any car upto 270mph if you have a correctly set geared ratio transmission, tires to withstand it, suspension to withstand the abuse and a built up engine with some sleek aerodynamics. You really wouldn't need sleek aerodynamics but they would help ;).

Yeah, thats' true. But the modified Viper is pulling 270 with no sign of slowing down. It has no aerodynamic mods. When I saw one of those blowing my 1,011 hp. Zonda away, I had to check that car out.

The Zonda in the game has horrible roadholding by the way. How did West ever post 1.11 in the Zonda at Laguna?

My tops for Laguna is 1'03.634 in the F094/H. Posting a faster time every time I try. I don't really try to set records in any of the other cars since they all handle like garbage in comparison to the F1.

I agree, the Zonda C12S is a horrible handler and they have it's top speed of 145mph I believe. It has some SERIOUS oversteering issues but the Zonda Race Car is alot better Zonda and should be what the C12S should be.

I'm not much for caring for the Zonda in the game because of it's unpredictability in driving. One time it might hold the ground while in a 90deg turn and then in the next 45deg turn you fish tail and slam into the side of a mountain.

One of the cars that I love to drive besides the F1 cars is the Honda S2000 LM Race Car. That car handles like balls but isn't very responsive in the throttle part. If you get into a sharp turn and then your RPM's start dropping little by little even though you're at full throttle. Nonetheless, I just posted a 1'10.923 at Leguna Seca with the S2000 LM Race Car.

BTW i'd just like to say that the GT-R R34 handles alot differently and alot better in RL than it does in this game. They have the R34 handling like a boat in GT3 and I don't know why because it doesn't handle like a boat in RL.

Another very good handler is the Mitsubishi FTO. If it handles anywhere near as good in RL as it does on the game then I'll say that it's the best handling FWD car I've ever seen. If so I might think about importing one over here just to find out

That's interesting, because I've always found the Zonda to understeer quite badly. It seems the Zonda's top speed is limited when running against some less powerful cars, because it'll do well over 145 on the Test Course with wide open gears.

I have the S2000 LM, but I never drive it. I'll have to check it out. I just won an FTO racecar a while back, and was not impressed at all - Butter tires. I remember the FTO handling a lot better than that.

As far as the R34 GT-R, the racecar car is pretty light on it's feet, as it should be. The roadcar car in the game is just okay.

* I have an idea, everybody post the various settings of your best handling cars - like the F1's. I'll post mine for the F094/H tomorrow.

skyline_r34v · 01-08-05, 10:56 PM

The F1 cars have the same settings they came with when I first got them except a simple tweek.

skyline_r34v · 01-08-05, 10:58 PM

The FTO Race Car is crap. It handles like shit and the FTO that you can actually buy and modify is 10x that car.

Go to the dealers lot and goto Mitsubishi and pick the FTO and then modify it. You'll see how awesome it handles as a FWD. It handles alot better than any JGTC Skyline, Supra, NSX, RX-7 I have.

Just got a 1:04 in F094/s.

Magic. The same way I can walk with a peripheral nerve injury. Luck + hard labors. That time came after many many runs and I pretty much had to drift on most turns. Anyway, on Laguna Seca, all you have to concentrate on is getting good speed up to the straight that leads to the corkscrew and good speed out of the hairpin.

By the way, what does '98 mean? is that 98 seconds or what? Maybe 90 hundredths of a minute?

skyline_r34v · 01-09-05, 03:21 AM

Hell If I know West it's suppose to be 58 seconds.

The key thing about getting an awesome Leguna Seca time is to CONSTANTLY work on the corkscrew to make it perfect. The corkscrew is what either totally decimates your time or totally preserves your time. It's SO easy to oversteer on the corkscrew so you have to figure out which gear to stay in, how fast to go and when to turn your wheels.
