What kind of speeds are you getting?

What gear ratio are you using?

What A/F mix are you using?

What tires are you running?

How are you pimmped?

PICS ENCOURAGED!!!

I've got my carbies turned to about 15 when they are hot - i'm toying with ratios now - I figure that 3.9 would give a good top speed? The stock tuning has way to much torque for the little car and spins the wheels in first and second before it reaches redline. Havent put my new tires on yet either

heilarious performance
takes a lot of gas though

I got up to probably 200 with the 3.9 and still had room on the tack.

Yeah, cheating is horrible. As if´d give a damn about his money.

All performance parts. Carbs set to 14.5 now but I'm still playing with them. Race slicks. 3.7 final. She's quick, I am only limited by my ability to drive it with a mouse and keyboard.

For carb tuning, I like the car to idle in the mid to high 13s, once it reaches steady state. That can take quite a while if you just idle and don't choke and rev, or drive at high revs and let it cool to steady state. Having the idle slightly rich like that means that when you're really pushing it on the dirt roads and it's generating lots of heat, you're in the mid 14s, near the adiabatic ratio.

I don't know what ratio actually produces most power in game, but doing it this way my car has at least felt quite powerful throughout the sprint race. If you idle at mid 14s you'll definitely be too lean and lose power after you've been pushing the engine hard for a while.

As far as gears go, I'm considering testing a shorter gearbox for the sprint race. So far though I haven't minded the stock one, and it's what I'm used to on the course at this point.

[Carl Brutananadilewski]

Also, instead of pictures how about a video of me driving to town? The quality isn't great and I mess up a bit 2 or 3 times, but overall it's an ok example of what you can do with a fully souped up car in this game.

One more thing, I did achieve 200+ km/h with the 3.7 final drive. It's a good test of whether you did everything correctly (once you have all performance parts) because your car basically has to be at full power to accelerate in 4th with that gear ratio. I ended up switching the gearbox back to stock because that's what I'm used to.

Wow, I gotta get a wheel if I want to play this game right. There's no way I could control my car like that with just my keyboard!

I can't push my car nearly as hard as you because of the limitations of my control setup. Even when I'm pushing my limits the air flow doesn't go past forteen point six, so I'm staying right around the Stoichiometric ratio.

FYI i play with an xbox 360 controller. If you can get your hands on a controller I'd say it's a decent option without having to pay for a nice wheel. If you can afford a wheel though definitely go for that. Keyboard is rough but I've seen someone almost get a good enough time for first in the sprint race with it.

If you do get a controller, or for anyone trying to use one I recommend leaving steering assist on but having both parameters (high speed steering rate and steering nonlinearity) at 000. It smooths inputs a bit but doesn't delay them, higher values for those settings delay your inputs. I like 0 deadzone as well.

Edit: And yeah in the meantime you've probably got your carb tuned just fine, unless you're going for top speed on the highway maybe. It could overheat before you get there.

Nice I have a 360 controller I'll try that! I didn't know it would work thanks!

I stay away from the highway. the other cars are all terrorists! Also I'm a mortal and hate scratching the paint haha too stressful!

[Mikhail Reign]

Yeah I use a 360 controller as well. Other then needing to use the right thumbstick for the brake (so its variable like the clutch and throttle) it works out pretty well. I'm able to redline the truck in top gear coming along the backroads at night - so steering is fine. The only issue I have is on highways - the control you need there is more gradual (long turns) which you cant really get on a control, but on the backroads where its constant adjustment the control is fine.
