Actually, considering the circumstances, perhaps this would be more appropriate first:

I see a comparison post coming soon. I. Good job.
I might also try your CT230R at some point, but looking at your max speed stat, what is the final speed it reaches? Such knowledge can make or break some CT230R tunes...
trackripper123I actually have about 5 or 6 tunes built in my garage for this 380PP shootout, but in the end half were not up to par.
The SERA holds my fastest lap so far, 1.55.3xx but the Lupo managed a 1.55.7xx with a fairly big scrape into the armco so...
And I'm not too sure actually, I think it can top 200mph but I'm not sure
Yes, I am a tuner car nut I know.
Onboy123Not really…you're extremely normal, if anything. It's almost common knowledge that the CT230R is acceleration>top speed.
Review of the VW Lupo GTI '01
For 380PP, I did not expect a fast car at all. But the Lupo isn't even as fast as the cars you race against in the Sunday Cup! The transmission setup you recommended (sat in front of my PS3 looking at my computer to exactly copy the numbers) feels like it's geared way too high for this car, even though the gearing is actually extremely low.
The thing that bothers me most is the advertised lap time of 1.55.xxx around Cape Ring Periphery. I would be willing to forgive the quirky suspension and transmission setup if it had actually been able to get the advertised lap time. But my lap times were consistently 2.05.xxx to 2.07.xxx, and that was flooring it the entire race. At least the performance difference adjustment gave me over 500,000 credits, even though I finished 3rd.
Some tunes are better than others. The Chaparral 2D tune actually dials out the understeer and makes it easier to drive. However, the Lupo tune just doesn't seem to work for me, sorry.
I had like 10 cars prepared for this, and only the first 2 I posted were any good and fast. The xB is changed from its original test model (no wing) and the N360 was put in for a joke.
200 is too high up. The CT230R only has 5 speeds, and suffers very badly higher up the speed scale. Top speed is not designed to be the forte of the HKS, and you're sacrificing its best asset - the acceleration - for it. The magic number that AdrenaTune's CT230R uses is in the low 180s, and it doesn't even max out on Dottinger Hohe. Top speed is more for the S2k Turbo with the 7 gears and everything...that pulls off some 230 max w/slipstream (can't be powered up at all though). Yes, I am a tuner car nut I know.
That's strange, on a bad lap for me, it runs around 1.57...
The setup that is currently there is slightly outdated though, I was going to update it literally right now, so maybe you could test the new setup and get back to me?
I'll check the setup again and see if there were any typos on the setup. If not though, then maybe its just a difference in driving style. Times over 2.00 are very rare and generally only appear if you spin, somehow. Even with all the parts bolted on and no settings adjusted it's usually around 2.00, so I can't quite understand how you're getting those times. You're not grinding armcos or walls anywhere are you?
EDIT: Nope, no typos in the transmission, keep it in 5th for the spiral bridge.
Hmm odd because I overtake 1st on the 3rd lap in the seasonal then end up winning by about 10 seconds in that Lupo. A question of driving style and driving lines maybe?
