Falcon XR8! Does anyone else love it?

[struzzy]

Ccant drive this car enough to be honest, but have a need now to make it faster. Setting laps around 5.53 on the Nurburgring. Doesnt seem to turn in well enough to realy push it into a bend.
Need some suspension settings for it.

Thanks for any help.

There's my set-up, but I'm afraid that's the only set-up on the entire board.

I looked at GTVault, and they have 4 set-ups, so your best bet is to look there. Here is the link: http://www.gtvault.com/gt4/setup-list/c_cid::324/Ford-(AU)-2000-Falcon-XR8/

I like the Falcon, it looks cool, but it's an "out of sight, out of mind" car. That's why you hear no one talk about it.

Thanks for that, will check it out, if any of the other setups are up to scratch I'll let you know.

Just out of interest what sort of lap times should the Falcon be hitting on the Nurgerburger?

Checked out those settings for the XR8 but dont think they're up to much, everybody goes for the 902bhp but he Falcon is quicker with the stage 3 NA Tune! Not by a lot mind but it all counts.

Thanks anyway for the help.

With it's power and tires, it should be able to get 6'30 or lower easily.

Put down a 5'53.4 with qual.tires and rollcage! Not too bad i suppose. Reckon I could cut another second or two off though.

That's a lot faster than I thought.

Trying to master the Mines Skyline at the moment for drifting but will keep that in mind. Think I prefer the XR8 as a race car tho.
