High Powered Muscle Car Absolutely Uncontrollable on Track - How to Improve?

[WildKarrde]

I have a supercharged Tempest Magnum with 924 HP and 1268 Tq. I have a high geared 9 speed transmission, 345mm tires on the back, and 325mm tires on the front. All parts are 100%, and alignment is all at 0 degrees. Even in a straight line at high speeds, without accelerating it's almost impossible to keep the car on the track.

What I'm wondering, is if upgrading suspension parts with scraps will help stabilize the car. I was gonna try to push the engine to 1000 HP with scraps, but it's kinda pointless if the car is already useless at 924 HP.

Anyone have any other ideas that could help.

Are the tires slicks?

I have the same problem with Morena Bizzarrini full tuned. I will try the slicks

And have you adjusted your gear ratios in the transmission?

3 star tune the crap out of every part[engine and exhaust and gearbox] replace the part of the engine/exhaust/gearbox with performance parts.. then give the gearbox 9 gears and adjust them.

Does affect 3 Stars on non perfamce parts the power?

To be honest I doubt it but I had the extra scrape so I did it anyway.

Which engine/car should I use for the most power?

Go with the salem spectre sr, you should be able to get 6k+ hp. That car in the pic several posts up is the salem GW500 it has 2084 HP. I do hope they[RedDot] bring out a super car / hyper car dlc.

No, I was using the most expensive racing tires. The slicks tamed it really well though! Went from 1:42 to 1:28, huge improvement!

Did you by any chance 3-star the brakes, suspension, etc? I'm wondering if it'll make my suspension stiffer, or give me shorter braking distances.

No I just made sure it was 100% no stars.

about the tempest anyone else have a bug where you can't put on the front bumper/headlights to complete it?

[Zebulon P. Gryphon]

Well, to be fair, that's completely realistic. Muscle cars never were particularly controllable, which is why there are so many classic rock songs about getting killed in them. :)

I must admit, as I typed the words I thought of that... but was hoping for a way to go the resto-mod route. :)

I did the exact same thing wit the exact same car, every part that can be upgraded to performance has been upgraded, and literally every part on the car is at 3 stars, yet I only make 500 hp? So either the 2000+ hp numbers are bull s h i t e, or theres something else you did to get there. Can you send an actual picture of the hp numbers? Or just how tf you made them?
