Gran Turismo never trusted me when I had GT4. It always broke the next 2-3 weeks everytime I got it. I stopped in 2008 when I had more fun in sports games and thought realistic sims were boring. Earlier in April I realized whatI was missing in a good simulation game: Realistic handling and awesomeness so I bought the game. I joined GTP on May 10 and it was up-and-down at the start if you know what I mean.

well it appears to me that he got his 9.7xx shifting at the rpm he specified. maybe its not disinformation.

Well it appears to me that your theory has no more credibility than mine, or kennys!
So until festor sees this, its up in the air.

Festor has no need to lie. He has good morals. If you posted HERE more often you'd know that
Looking at the power band and how long my cudas gears are it makes sense between 5.75 and 5.95 (or 5.8-5.9 like feat said)
- 1,899
No need to attack me. I never said he lied nor did I say anything about his morals.
But when the drag racing community gives out 'help' it is not always 100% best, for example, base tunes. And that is what I said he did.
Now you are just falling into gray area! 300 rpm, big difference, thats hundredths!
Now I personally am claiming 5500-5700 to be the best. If his Cuda set that time, shifting at 5900, than festor himself can come in here, and prove me wrong. That makes it an A and B conversation, so... 👍

Firstly it's 200 not 300
And it's almost impossible to get perfect on that nor is there a perfect spot between there.
And he wouldn't tell someone to shift that region to help them if he didn't do that himself.
It's not an attack but rather return of attitude

Right, agreed.
Maybe this picture will better help understand where I'm coming from:
I had no intent to exchange words with festor, you, or anyone else. If i gave attitude I apologize, it was not my intent. Moreover, if I'm wrong, I apologize for that too ahead of time. But as it stands I dont think I am.

No worries mate
Try in between. 👍
Give festor's shift point a go. Might work might not. But IMHO I'd be closer to festor's shift point
The only way to improve is to try new ideas

I'm not even sure this accusation warrants a response, but just to clear things up, it was not "disinformation". I'm more than happy to concede it might not the best shift point and my shifting is poor at the best of times, but this seems to work with my tune. It was only a suggestion to try. Keeping in mind you initially said 5.5-5.6 then said 5500-5700 (which is it btw?) and I said 5800-5900 I can't believe I'm being accused of disinformation over 200 or 100 rpm smh
Thanks to everyone else for the support seeing it for what it is 👍
I don't really want to divert this great thread again so now I have cleared that up for you how about you make your submission Sean?

@sean- I didn't intend for this to turn into a whole topic lol. I was just pointing out the fact that with fest0rs advice the time you were claiming was not attainable was in fact possible. That is pretty much where I'm shifting at as well. Although my time isn't as fast as his, it is still in the 9.7's. Fest isn't the type of dude to steer folks wrong. In fact, if you read through this thread you'll see that most of the participants are the exact same way, offering advice-even setups to those struggling. With that being said - with all the possible combinations of settings it is very conceivable that you can achieve very similar/competitive times with different approaches. My comment wasnt meant as an attack. No hard feelings I hope. 👍
Also, there are a couple garages out there that offer top notch tunes. The setup is all there it is just for the user to fill in the blanks. This method encourages people to learn on their own while still providing an outline to build off of. 👍

That's all I wanted to hear 👍
I had a moment of clarity after reading vipers post, with shifting errors 100rpm is too small a target, so I expanded it to 5.5-5.7. My mistake.
200 to 100 makes a big difference on the Cuda, atleast .010 .
I will admit I was being nitpicky, it basically came down to *Closer to 5.5* or *Closer to 6k* and I thought, 6k in a Cuda? No way. Also, my mistake.
After butchering my Indy tune for half an hour, I am retiring from this car:
I made this time, trying my best to shift at 5500 - 5700. YMMV!
