Untuned Unfun?!

[articzap]

A few people I've talked to said drifting in GT4 is no fun unless you have the car fully tuned to drift. I, coming from XLink, say that untuned cars the funest and the hardest because its alot harder and unexpected reaction.

What do you guys feel is more fun, tuned or untuned?

As a beginner, Tuning is the way to go. however, going stock might be a good opton if you're good.

the D1GP cars are also good as they are.

I tend to enjoy racing the cars stock with N tyre's on most. Sure a fully tuned car can be fun but I find once a cars fully tuned and I've set them up to the best of my ability they lose their character somewhat. As for drifitng, sure if your into it it's great, if your not it's not. So there goes the idea that it's only fun if you set cars up drift. Oh yeah, and quite often, fully tuning up a car isn't the best for drifting, an 800bhp Supra will be awful to drift compared to a 400bhp one setup right.

i think stock would be the better way to go when your just starting out. because it helps you know exactly what the car needs.
does it understeer? does it oversteer? does it need a 1,1.5,2 way lsd? youll find out when you drift it stock. some cars dont need alot, others need some work. it also challenges you to overcome obstacles(IE low power, no lsd, soft suspension, hard suspension, long turns, tight turns, increasing/decreasing radius turns, etc.) that you normally wont come across with a tuned car. this all helps develop your skill. sure the cars are more fun the faster they are, but you really need to start out stock to see what a car needs, if anything. then when you add parts, you can say hmm.. this car understeered in stock form, ill add a bit of toe out on the rear to help even it out. or hey this car oversteered alot stock, ill add some negative camber in the rear to help give it a litte more grip. or hey this cars braking balance is off.. ill adjust it using the brake balance adjuster. this car seems underpowered, ill add a bit to help it get around basic corners.
as you can see, learning to drive stock cars before modified cars can be really helpful on learning ways to get around problems you may encounter on a specific corner, and also helps you learn how each adjustment made to the car does to affect it.

Untuned cars are always fun.

Mmm, im throttle happy .. So i prefer Tuned Cars personally.

 

[road kill]

untuned cars. tuned cars barley need any technique like the d1gp s15 it just drifts i like untuned to actually better my techniques

 

[luftrofl]

I wouldn't count the D1GP cars as untuned or any other cars classified as a "tuning car" by GT4

But seriously, these are my opinions on untuned cars.
-Very, very, VERY forgiving!
-Easier for beginners and people with less experience with said untuned car.
-Worse in performance than a well-practiced person with a tuned car.

Untuned... yes!

Depends on the car. I feel that the Protomotors Spirra is one of the most entertaining drives in the game, soft, loose and heavily weight-biased to the rear.

If the RuF BTR could be considered stock, it's probably one of the most challenging cars to drift, as toeing the line between oversteer and understeer goes on way before and after the corner.
