C63 AMG vs IS-F (for drifting)

[Thomasss95]

I would like to test the Jaguar XKR too...
What are your opinions on that car for drifting?
And does anyone have a good tune for it?

EDIT:
I read something about a wheel glitch on the XKR, is that true?
Sorry for all the questions!

ISF is one of my favorites but dont ever fully tune it keep it below 750hp anymore and it gets stupid...

Last time I checked it doesn't go over 720 -.- Or am I wrong there? Push?

Thanks for the reaction!

After reading this and knowing you prefer the IS-F I will go with the IS-F.
I would love to test your tunes, I will add you tomorrow!
Do you have a (easy) tune for the IS-F that I can test?

He prefers the IS-F for it's speed, which is exactly what I dislike in most drifters. If you want a more stable drift car, go for the Mercedes.

However, Push is right about the gearbox setup. It's not difficult to get a decent gearbox setup on that car, if you know what you're doing, or you know someone that does

Correct. "Speed isn't everything; you gotta look cool on the touge too." - Keiichi Tsuchiya the part "Speed isn't everything" is the important part. I would go for the Merc as well its dem fast about 800+ Horsepower but handles like a bewdy.

Thanks for the reactions guys!
I really appreciate all your help!

I will go with the C63 AMG!
Does anyone have a good tune, especially for the gearbox?
I found a lot of tunes, but I don't use Engine Stage 3...
I keep the C63 on stock power, so I only do Weight Reduction 3 and LSD, gearbox, suspension etc.

So I am looking for a gearbox tune for the C63 without Engine Stage 3.
It would be nice if someone had that for the M3 and M5 too.

But in the beginning of even the Drift Bible he also states that " you don't need high horsepower" and that makes you rely more on skill as a driver than using brute power to make up for skills not yet learned. I'm not saying that pertains to you in any way so please don't take it personal.

LOL PUSH, it's about time you posted in this thread. But surprisingly, your post didn't include choosing either one of the two cars mentioned. O_O though, I think everyone knows what you'd pick...

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner about the tune. Just 2 days after my last post my 4year old son passed away, so I'm sorry if it seems I ignored your request. I will PM one of my setups to you asap. Also just a side note my isF tunes range from 380hp to 574hp and depending on the track and people in the lobby I will choose accordingly. All are balanced well enough that I don't have to change cars or settings if the track is changed. Eiger to GrandValley to Cote di Azur, I can use the same setting. What is your PSN

LOL yeah its almost always IS-F. The C63 is a amazing machine and the suspension is well tuned in stock form. I have done the same to the C63 as I did with my IS-F in terms of trying multiple cars and tuning options. My brother (MLD_SNYPER) & myself spent countless hours of comparing different setups for the perfect setup that works with our style of driving. Pure Balance is shaped around that drivers unique style. As stated before the C63 has a very quick and aggressive turn in and at times, if the driver is not well acquainted with this car, can be more than they can handle and will stall or spin out.

I use 4th and 5th in the IS-F. O_o Sometimes 6th and 7th (long high speed drift)

I agree on the last line, the C63 won't settle with a rough/draft tune. I've only drifted one again yesterday, and while it does have a sharp turn-in ability, I find it handful to get around the track. It can't sustain its momentum well enough. I guess I have to sink in more time for this car
