I also would like to know if you are interested in joining your garage into the Garage Showdowns or not. It's not a common event, once a fortnight at best I think.
Sure, no problem. I'm currently at work though, so no racing right now. If anybody else feels like taking it for a spin right now, feel free, that's what it's here for. Don't forget to post feedback.
I was planning taking Holden's viper out for a spin - I could do a head to head if you like.
Damn - I'm getting backed up with these reviews now
But the upside is I have an excuse to play more
Sure, head-to head is fine, I'd like to know how mine holds up against holden's. 👍 This starting to get more and more like real car magazines.
I love the whole deal - it's added a new dimension to the game for me.
I feel like a virtual Jeremy Clarkson but without the crap hairdo
Sure, no problem. I'll get to it after I finish the Swift for the Swift Cup. I hope the events don't get messed up too much after the next online update.Could i requeest a Lancer Evolution X GSR (600pp) for suzuka?
Absolutely no problem at all. Any feedback is appreciated.Yeah Arosa,
I'll take that viper for a spin, i was running some laps in it anyway, i can at least tell you if i personally am quicker with your setup or the one that it's currently running.
I'm not good enough a driver to give a report, you'll have to settle with something along the lines of.
-Great
-didn't notice difference
-'can someone tow my car out of the sand please?'
I'll try and keep reading other reviews to compare my 'feeling' to their words ...

Hi Arosa,
Tbh, i know of no car that applies more brake to the rear wheels then to the front. (being the layman that i am )
The reason i thought is that the mass of the car will shift to the front while braking right? so the front wheels have most traction, applying more braking to the rear should lock these wheels and send you spinning off if you touch the wheel while braking. (which is what abs is preventing from happening)
Wrt to the 6th gear, i think you may have overlooked the final gearing of the viper?
Many thanks again for your tune, i have a lot to learn
True, but if to much weight shifts to the front wheels they can become overloaded when you try to turn.
The other thing to look at is stability during braking, especially when turning into a corner simultaniously (like the first turn of Suzuka).
That's correct, but the ammount of weight transferred is a product of suspension is it not?.
Suspension (weight transfer) deteremines the amount of brake bias, not vice versa.
Nice read http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_brakebiasandperformance.shtml
That said, it is true that some people will prefer 'rear bias' for brakes, but from a stopping perspective, i find it (thinking i understand a little bit the physics involved) really hard to believe it is more effective.
(and people have the weirdes preferences )
But like i mentioned before, tuning i find really hard, i guess i'm just not good enough a driver to 'read' whether my suspension lacks optimal tracktion or if just apply too much gas
So i'm keen to learn, but as you see decades of racing sims did make me a bit hardheaded on some points (but provide me a tune with which i take off 2 seconds of my best time within 20 runs and i'm convinced 👍)
Thnanks, i enjoy this discussion.
