My old friend, I made a huge mistake, lol.
One of my top 3 favorite cars to drive in this game, is the '84 F-GTO.
And I would normally never even
try anyone else's settings for it but my own. Not because I'm ignorant or because I think I'm better then anyone else at tuning, but because the 4 I own are all 3-full on settings that I have perfected
to my own style of driving and I absolutely love how I have them. Dependable, fast, maneuvering, sick dangerous toys.
But, I also trust you when you tune.
So, i bought a 5th one just to try out your latest adventure. (Which, I admit, I still haven't tried yet, lol, I will tonight.) Keep reading, you'll get it, lol.
So I got the GTO, no oil change, did all the parts you said, saved trans for last, ect ect.
And started to do the trans and realized it wasn't matching up. Now, no big deal, 90% of posted tunes don't match exact on trans. Some accidentally did do oil, some used a car with a billion miles that offset numbers, some changed a power part during tuning and offset numbers, ect. I just figured it was one of those.
Anyhoo, I took it out on my personally made testing track (tons of evil curves of variable degrees, one long speed test straight, and some high speed sudden turns, perfect for testing, horrrid for racing, lol)
I took that car around that track 3 times, I used 'brake-taps', never actually holding the brake down......ever...just tapping to cause a rear drift slide, gunning the accel when pointed right, ect.
I don't think i ever went under 65mph, which, if you saw my track, is not possible in many spots.
I was in love with a car i was already in love with ^^
Now, that, and my style of driving in general, is very hard on rear tire wear. I know that, i accept that, and don't care. I drive for feel and fun, not to out drive the genius 12 year olds who play this game 14 hours a day, lol.
The thing is, and the punchline of this book I've left on your page, is my mistake;
When I put in your settings, I must have accidentally scrolled up without knowing. I put in your settings for the '76 BB. Yeah, that.
Explains why the trans didn't match. And why my 500pp car is 542pp instead.
But man, wow. Just wow.
Thank you for accidentally surprising me, and allowing me to experience something out of a car I thought I already 'been there/done that/T-shirt" everything possible.
Tonight, I will actually try your real settings. But i have to be honest, No matter how good they are, I seriously doubt it will excite me the same way this did, lol.
Take care man. I will let you know how it works out.
