then you drift it.

in forza 3 50% of the time my r33, when you would flick it, it would snap to a 90 degree angle and hold it. also reverse entries all day. i still need to build one in forza 4 to see if it is the same.

i feel like the r32 is faster in f4 than f3. also the r32 is way lighter than the r33 and r34. so instead of spending all your forza crons making the other skylines lighter you can just make the r32 more powerful.

I'm going to try it on a half mile track and compare.


so here are my results with an AWD car

manual w/o clutch 18.30 avg.

manual w/ clutch 17.90 avg.

Just on a half mile track, going through 5 gear changes, saving 4 tenths of a second. That is a pretty big difference for 5 shifts.



Went back to tsukuba with a lotus exige and manual w/ clutch and barely got under a minute with a 59.94. Upshifting isn't bad....but it is hard for me to downshift using the controller....so I just normal downshift and let it grind the gear.
Hmm, gonna have to try this out tonight.

So, this isn't for any specific car of mine, but could some explain (help) explain the transmission tuning? That's the one thing that I don't ever mess with because I just honestly don't understand it.

if it's a short track, I just change the final drive to like a 4.77 like a real car. I don't mess with each gear, just the final drive.

I'm not sure how I'm just now realizing this, but has anyone else noticed that Forza has the toe out numbers listed as positive and toe in numbers listed a negative when it should be the other way around?
