Need some advice about 3 cars I'm using currently.

[MadMikeXP]

1.I have mastered the GT world cup and a number of other races in beginners league with the beetle RSi the max hp has dropped by about 10% currently it runs on 451hp after about 600 miles total.
The only problem I have with it is the car slows down it and goes back into 1-2-3 and 3rd it struggles abit to keep up with other tougher cars, they will outsmoke me if I don't keep up behind them or on the side ready to over take them, is there a good way to fix the torque problem when speeding back up also since the hp drop it has a little problem with cornering normal corners or big ones while maintaning speed for example I mean special stage route any others that you guys are aware of that beetle might struggle in any parts I need to put into or adjust ? I have all of them including VCD part that helps it some but enough to keep up in some races of amature leauge.

2.I have Mitsubshi 3000 vr4 the HP is highly maxed out but still needs a great of tuning to be a real corvette race car killer I know I can beat that damn race car corvette but it's handling is unbelievelabe!
Main problem is the braking with 3000 vr4 is very bad and I don't know of any settings that could fix the problem and the cornering is very bad also seeing how it is almost a muscle car and able to knock the liven daylights out of almost any car.

3. Last I have the speedster and is a good MR car managed to keep up with cars alot bigger than me, does anyone know the MAX HP of this car and a good way to keep it from doing a very bad oversteer ?
When turning the car just sticks to the inside corners like a magnet and I have to yank it off to keep this car from going inside the dirt....

1. My first guess when you're loosing HP would be that You're in need of an oil change. Rarely occurring , a bad combination of exhaust and induction mods will actually lessen your acceleration. Is the RSI all-wheel drive? Do you have adjustable gearing?

2. The Corvette Race Car has a huge advantage over the Mitsu in handling because it has downforce.

3. I haven't maxxed out one of these yet. If you have adjustable suspension on it, keep your front settings a little stiffer than the rear if it's turning in too fast.

The only problem I have with it is the car slows down it and goes back into 1-2-3 and 3rd it struggles abit to keep up with other tougher cars, they will outsmoke me if I don't keep up behind them or on the side ready to over take them, is there a good way to fix the torque problem when speeding back up also since the hp drop it has a little problem with cornering normal corners or big ones while maintaning speed for example I mean special stage route any others that you guys are aware of that beetle might struggle in any parts I need to put into or adjust ?

There's a lot of ideas in that sentance. Not to rag on you since I'm not your English teacher, but you may want to break that up a bit. At least you're not using text speak which would make us just reply, "What?"

1.Yes the RSi is 4 wheel drive, also if you mean full customization of the gear shifts yes I do, I tell it to automatically adjust gears between 28-32 and it can vary depending on which race I am going into/
If you know of a good way to fix it, let me know.

2.Ok, but the hard cornering problem has to be fixed though as I do plan on using this car from time to time.

Final question from my first post question 1.

Beetle RSi issue:
I have mastered the GT world cup and a number of other races in beginners league with the beetle RSi.
The max hp has dropped by about 10% currently it runs on 451hp after about 600 miles total. that was currently do to major races in the beginners league and also forgetting once in a while to change the oil afterwords.
The only problem I have with it is the car slows down it and goes back into gears 1-2-3 in 3rd gear it struggles abit to keep up with other tougher cars passing by after a long turn.
Those cars that are a little faster then me will out smoke me if I don't keep up behind them or on the side ready to over take them.
Is there a good way to fix the torque problem when speeding back up also since the hp drop it has a little problem with cornering normal corners or big ones while maintaning speed, for example I mean special stage route race any others that you guys are aware of that beetle might struggle in.
Are there any parts I need to put into or adjust ? I have all of them including VCD part that helps it some but enough to keep up in some races of amature leauge.

I hope thats easier to read.
I have won a new Beetle RSi and will be upgrading it the right way, if I could get a hint on what parts should not go together that will cause problems.

Are you saying you're wondering why your total power (at 600 miles) is now 10% less than it was?

I know in GT4, it is possible to experience permanent power-loss (even with oil changes) which seems to be accelerated by lots of redlining and/or driving at the RPM limit. This happens in GT3, too, I believe.

Even without abusive driving, however, I think eventually power simply falls over the long-term, and you won't be able to get it back without buying or winning a new Beetle RSi.

The only problem I have with it is the car slows down it and goes back into 1-2-3 and 3rd it struggles abit to keep up with other tougher cars, they will outsmoke me if I don't keep up behind them or on the side ready to over take them,

This actually sounds like an aerodynamics issue. Beetles have a slippery shape, but they also have a lot of frontal area, which eventually limits their ability to keep up with lower, sportier cars. I'm guessing here, tho...I never drove a Beetle RSi.

BTW, does the RSi have modifiable downforce? Just wondering.

is there a good way to fix the torque problem when speeding back up

Not really. What are your gearbox settings? (assuming you're using modifiable gears). You can tweak your gears so that you stay within the Beetle's narrow power-band...

2.I have Mitsubshi 3000 vr4 the HP is highly maxed out but still needs a great of tuning to be a real corvette race car killer I know I can beat that damn race car corvette but it's handling is unbelievelabe!

As KAMKA-Z said already, comparing a 3000GT VR4 (which has no modifiable downforce) to a Corvette Race Car (which does) is a tall order. You won't be able to keep up with the CRC without massive power-overhauls, and even then, the lack of downforce means you'll be suffering big-time in those corners.

...didn't drive this one much, so can't help you. Look up some old GT3 tuning section threads, perhaps.

My gear settings for the RSi beetle are:

1st gear 2688
2nd gear 1.811
3rd gear 1.323
4th gear 1.013
5th gear 0.614
6th gear 0.685
Final gear not 7, 4.062

What kind of decent car I should try rather than the 3000vr4 ?
I hate skyliner cars and almost all lancer cars for a very good reason which I won't explain to you all in here.
I rather use something different than either one of those cars, but though I don't know which car maker makes something very reliable and won't cause much havoc while driving in a race.

Also like I said in my last post I have a new RSi beetle and I will be getting rid of my old one once I finish the last 2 exams in the IA test and built up at least 120,000 cr to work on fine tuning some cars I have in my garage.

I think you're saying you want to beat the Corvette Race Car, am I correct? If so, you'll have to start with something that has modifiable downforce. The Mercedes CLK could do it. So could the Camaro race car. So can many WRC rally cars if you're skilled. Basically you need to have good downforce to keep up in corners with the CRC.

There's nothing wrong with the regular 3000GT...it's capable against other non-race cars...but its lack of downforce (as I said) hurts it grandly in corners.
