Good call my friend!👍 If you work your magic on the rear, the rest will sort itself out!

 

[CSLACR]

Dude! I seriously hope you copy/pasted the standard FITT Rules, otherwise, you are the man for typing it all. Aero banned totally? No front aero allowed correct. On meds and not thinking totally clear so just wanted to check. OP LOOKS GOOD:tup:

Yes, I copied, and then pasted, then did some editing to have my way with it.
Aero is banned, minus the few listed in the OP. 👍

The gearing works better for it with the extra 500 RPM, 4 less PP and it's a bit faster I think.

Good spot 👍 I had a brief glance earlier and thought someone was missing but could't think who it was. Just had another quick glance...

I'm in as a tuner but these things all make a difference to how a car will be built and need to be clarified.

@DolHaus is missing too.

I'm looking forward to trying this out. 👍

But I don't know if I can bring myself to use that paint. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against pink cars, I think Moulin Rouge is an awesome colour. And if you want to use it, more power to ya! 👍

But did you have to use it on an F40

That's like putting a Ford motor in a Corvette . There should be laws against that sort of stuff

Just like sour patch kids? (First it looks sour, then eventually a little sweet?)

and then they're gone.

BTW I was going to go with a similar color 👍👍👍 now the best color is gone , I think that just for using that color you should be given a 3 second lead .

I put Rosso Scuderia on mine.(F40) It's a nice bright Ferrari Red.

It's major uphill that's killing the ACR it's heavy and low powered for its weight. It's only reaching 240 ish while everything else it getting 255-270 km/h
Some of it may be learning curve but that much of a speed difference is what is doing most of it.

I'm hitting 266kph with it up the straight before the braking point.
Are you shifting like it's a Viper or a Civic? Gotta rev it like a Honda.

I'm doing around that speed crossing the start/finish line in most cars (auto trans/fwd layout), I'll give the ACR a spin later and see how it stacks up

The 266kmh speed is in reverse, which is uphill.
Forward layout I get 279kmh by the braking point.

I'm translating from mph so give or take 1.

You never put a Ford engine in a Chevy, EVER! But many have been known to put Chevy engines in Ford's.

Ahh ok, I will have a look regardless and give comparison speeds if it will help with balancing 👍

I may to conservative on the entry then I'm taking it to just shy of red line on rpms I'll have look again when I can get back to the game.

That is just wrong

Often see a small block Chevy V8 dropped into Miatas. Have a customer with a '49 Ford but he put a 350 Chevy in it. More power and easier to work on. But, for those offended Ford fans, he also owns a Boss 302.

And stupid question, where do you get Moulin Rouge?

I've seen chevy blocks in a number of different cars (and boats), they're cheap, simple and fairly easy to get big numbers out of. If you don't need it to be particularly small, light, high revving or efficient then you can't go far wrong with a GM V8.
They're currently the go-to engine in the drift scene because they get more power with less stress than the more traditional turbo'd RB26/2JZ units. It might not be the greatest or most sophisticated engine ever built but it does really well at a wide variety of tasks and disciplines

 

[Otaliema]

That is just wrong

Yeah it didn't last very long either one run at the strip. He licoriced the frame.
It's what happened when you take a red neck add a two cars, one with a working engine and one with a good body and they don't match up

Midfield Reverse (Grip - Real)​

Speed Crossing start finish line:
ACR Viper - 159mph
GTR Nismo - 160mph
458 - 162mph
ZR1 (C6) - 163mph
LFA - 164mph
Diablo GT - 165mph

That looks about right.
Both the ACR and Nismo GT-R need shifted as close to the limiter as possible to maximize their potential. Shifting them early can cost 2-4mph down the straight. They're also the slowest cars down the straight in the shootout.

I think the transmission is holding the Viper back, it just doesn't pull well through the gears. The GTR makes up for its weight by being consistently quick out of the corners, the Viper just seems to struggle

 

[CSLACR]

I know, but if they get faster, they're automatically better than their counterparts. (Other Vipers and other GT-R)
Because both brake better, corner better, and are more stable than the lower models.

Its not like anyone is being forced into choosing them anyway so its not really worth looking into further 👍

 

[Brewguy44]

Why do you have to take off the rear wing on the Viper ACR? when it comes with the car when you buy it and front areo too, wouldn't that be stock? The F-40 and Diablo GT2 both come with them but your not removing them I'm just asking for clarification. I took it off and checked the settings and it still says Front 100 Rear 200 but it's grayed out.

I wasn't sure if it made a difference and mine has it removed. The F40 and Diablo GT2 don't have purchasable or removable aero parts.
100/200 the normal aero you should have 👍 (it doesn't remove the aero, idk why)

 

[Brewguy44]

I just ran it at Midfield w/o wing and my times were about the same. I didn't notice any difference in the way it drove. I'll be posting a tune for it soon. Thanks 👍

 

[CSLACR]

Looking forward to it 👍
