I want to know if this performance is correct for this cars. Are my cars fast or can they be faster. But I don't want to change their handling settings because they handle good as they are.

Help me

Yes, they are fast (probly about as fast as you'll get). Were you using TCS or not?

No I wasen't using TCS

Hey that's fine, don't be nervous! Real drivers don't use TCS ever! I'll admit I'll occasionally use it (maybe 5% of the time in races) when I simply cannot get an edge over the computer cars.

Yeah, those are good figures...I wouldn't be surprised if someone around here challenges them, though.

I use TCS but I turn it down to like 1 or 2!

Using TCS Nissan Z Concept 1/4 mile 10.999 seconds 0-60 3.50s 0-100 6.50s
Mazda RX-8 1/4 mile 11.248 seconds 0-60 3.50s 0-100 7.06s

right.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

There are a handful of times I'll use TCS, but never more than a setting of 1. Case in point: taking a front-drive car up against a bunch of 4 or rear-drives...you WILL lose speed off the start-line if you try and keep up with them.

I originally used it near-religiously with the F686/M, until I figured out the torque curve. I still use it in endurace races when I don't want to be bothered with tire modulation so much as simply finishing the race.

 

[IntheZone]

So what times did you guys get on this cars.

This is true: TCS does keep drive tires cooler. I experimented a bit with this in GT2 ...although it doesn't work as well in the 2nd game.

I use TCS on all cars above 650hp, but the only exceptions are 4WD cars and FF car (when and if I ever drive them)

I have used TCS on my 350,000 HP hybrid, but It really didnt go that far in first gears with the TCS light always on
