Ah Gt4 Challenge Week 1

Damn Funky with that time your  making me a wheel believer. I am going to have to build something sturdy for it.

How long did it take you to get used to it?



Oh and the real life road racing thing is why I love the car, I love the DZ302 motor, solid lifters rock.


With mods most of the old cars can be decent, not as good as new cars but close. I think the narrow tires hold them back.

GTO my favorite one is the blue and yellow Mark Donahue / Penske car.

I've been using FFB wheels since 98 or 99.  I got used to them in about 5 minutes.  

No need to build anything, just clamp it to a desk or one of those heavy folding tables from Office Depot.

Or you can get one of these things:  http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3308494&cat=2636&type=50&dept=2636&path=0%3A2636&xsell=2310028

The wheel mount looks kind of flimsy to me though, cantilevered out there on that pipe.

Yeah, we're all adults.

Besides, all someone's gotta do is bring a PS2 to the con this year and say "Go on then, prove it".

I'm hitting 1.40.xx's but still got the weekend to dial the suspension in.  So far been dropping 4 seconds every time I lower the thing by a half inch.

I'm at 1:40.3 with upgrades but completely default settings. Didn't have time to tune, g/f ack put a quick stop to that.

And I gotta say, this is the only console game I've run into so far where the wheel has been easier than the game pad.

I got it down to the low 1:40s I think 1:42


I am going to have to work on it much tonight, the GF is coming this weekend so I wont have much time then.


My mods are not like funky. I went full race on the suspension and less HP. I can not get the car to hook up though.

GTO you can always switch which mods are active in the setup screen if you want to try different combinations.  I think the only ones you can't disable are the weight reduction and balance and polish.

I saved my best lap using the ghost replay. Talking about ghost, is there a way to disable it? Pissing me off at times.

Is there also a way to have the total time for 10 laps? Something that we can do so we have to show consistancy, more than a "lucky lap".

Push "up" on the directional pad to toggle the ghost.

To get multiple laps, we probably could do a Family Cup.  I think it shows the time at the end.

yeah, I tried yanking my supercharger, to see if the lower HP would help, it does but then the car is not fast enough lol.


I just need more no driving aid practice. Luguna is a ***** of a course with all the sand too.

I motion to let the standard controller users have slicks.

No way you can even come close to putting power to the ground effectively with a choice between 0% and 100% throttle application.

PS:  Ive got an extra one of the new Logitech Wheels NIB if anyone is interested.

There's no substitute for a good power to weight ratio.

And if you're having problems with Leguna's sand... stay out of it :) The race lines are faster than any shortcut.

I'm fairly confident I can bring my lap times down to at least 1:30 in this car with a better tune. I shall see this afternoon!

when I went over 400 HP the wheels were  screeching even on 5th gear until I added the 1.5 differential.
I want the wheel. I'm trying to do the emotional blackmail thing to the wife showing her the blister I got on my thumb from last night...  no workee so far ...

Obvious solution is TCS.  That's why they made TCS and ASM standard IMHO.
