Thanks Paul setup actually feels good If you can help iron out the wheelspin/bogging down corner exit problem without lsd i'd love to know how.

Shortshifting will do the trick

This mans correct.

 

[Furinkazen]

Really what ya got in mind?

The fact that the Volvo is still very quick. Just struggles at the twistier courses.

The fact that I will make a decision when we test tomorrow. Thats the point of it...

Sorry Furi, but 'true dat'.

Its the Volvo's best bet coming out of a corner.

Corners = Volvo getting left behind

 

[Furinkazen]

I remember S3 Ford were damn good in corners, Volvo however was punchier in the higher rpms.

 

[paulmac2k9]

This isn't S3 (Cars had LSDs and Aero then) You can't say cars will be equal when on different regs hence the need for testing .

Correct.

And Volvo was a tortured tank in S4.

[Strawman Andy]

Furi do you make the specs due to previous seasons? Because its no wonder you get cars too slow or too fast because you base it on the seasons which are completely different

This season has used S4 as a base. Indeed only the Racing Exhaust is the change on all cars, with carbon bonnets.

Yeah but it seems you based S4 on S3, as you said the Volvo in S3 was faster on the straights and the Ford better in the corners but there completely different specs for S3, with the removal or LSD and RH.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Might not be able to make it to the test tomorrow.

 

[Michelin]

Might not be able to make it to the test tomorrow.

The same as Joe. I might.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

To be honest though, the Volvo doesn't seem to be off pace that much- it's on a par with the Nissan. 👍

yea, at the back.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

yea, at the back.

I think it's about .8 off the front runners so taking off a few kilos might work. Or they might just work better at other tracks.

or you could maybe make all the other cars weigh more, as a ballast to try and slow them down. only other way because the nissan is minimum weight at 1305kg, so it's quite heavy. it is the same weight as the infiniti but it doesn't have the same feel. oh i miss my red infiniti

I liked the Nissan when I drove it, the fact that it's RWD and naturally aspirated make it the smoothest to drive. 👍

LMAO!! Exactly
