I just like to go 200+mph as much as possible… yea… speed freak here… lol…
well I used to use 1.5/-1.5 all the time for toe… now that I’m actually keeping an eye on things I’m seeing how much of a no no that really is… but in the case of the S7R it really settled that bucking bronco down alot from what it used to be… a bucking bronco… -.-… I also keep a look out for handling stats… like the lancia 037… S class grip on a B class car… lol crazy… I love that thing…
I’m a little annoyed with the furai as well as the F50GT and zonda R… great cars yes… but no upgrade options… this isnt a bad thing its just that I’d like to improve the look of those cars with different wheels n rims but they increase the or decrease the P.I and since I’m a bit of a stickler for details that really bugs the hell out of me… I mean really can anyone really tell me if there’s a noticeable difference when all u do is shave 11lbs which causes the PI to go up 1 or 2 points?..
Yes the difference is noticeable. Shaving a few lbs off the rims does affect handling as it’s unsprung weight. You can get some nice rims on the Furai. If you look for a tune by Redux/TPR, it’s one of the best in the game, and has nice rims 
It was open sourced on the old forums however I don’t think it’s on here. The F50 is no slouch either, with those cars you make the most out of what you have and those two cars especially are very good. You’ll find with higher class cars that there are limited options for upgrading, as most parts on them would already be ‘race’ spec, or to that extent.
Two of the more customisable for R3/R2 are the Mosler and Joss. Both quite brutal things, the Joss having more speed but the Mosler with more downforce. If you like customising cars, you can’t go too wrong with either of those and they’re leaderboard quality too so you can definitely set some hot laps.
But as I say with many of these higher class cars, more focus is set to tuning. I’d really encourage you to stay out of the Saleen, you may have ‘tamed’ it but at what expense to outright performance? It’s one of those cars. I have many other R2 cars that will annihilate that Saleen! I’ll dig up my open source thread if you’re interested at my many projects.
oh i dont doubt that there are much better options than the saleen… I know this… like EVERYTHING ELSE but like I mentioned I’m a stickler for details so I dont like racing production or pre tuners with full blown racers… I cant explain it but it just really bugs me to see something like the #4 C-class in the same grid as a jacked up R34 GTR or the ford fusion stock car in the same grid as a veyron…
I also dont like having 2 of the same cars in the same grid as well unless its 1 of those special events where the options are insanely limited… yea I know… doesnt leave me much of a list to play with since I’m still going for bucket list… almost there though… I’ll pick a double if I found a nice custom racing livery for the car to give myself the illusion of having something different lol… I feel like a bit of a headcase as I type this out lol…
I have a mosler n a joss… my JT1 needs work as it seems a bit skiddish at 1st but once the tires warm up it may or may not understeer into a wall… I havent checked it out in awhile so I cant remember it’s settings off hand… I’ll give it a look when I can… I do know I wanna keep it in R3 at the very least… the MT500 is an amazing car although I think I screwed it up when I setup the gearbox… theres 0 wheel spin off the line but that was when it was R3… I brought it up to R2 but I dunno if I wanna keep it there honestly… I might roll it back n tweak it a bit…
Well, there are very few cases where those high power cars will beat the race cars you mentioned in the same grid, so that’s akways good. Show those people who think their GT-R '10 will win an R1 race what’s up.
Anyway, most cars, when built to their potential, have enough PI room only to fit lighter rims. For example, the Furai gets max rear tire widths, but if you put on the most front tire widths you can, you’ll either be below or above 875. You obviously can’t go above, so going below and adding nice, light rims is the best option. I think I use the lightest Advans on my Furai.
As for the Mosler, it’s superb in both R3 and R2, but the latter class is a bit more difficult to drive because of all the extra power with the same handling as R3.
Probably the most stable R1 car you can get would be a fully upgraded Mazda Furai. It will only go up to 943, as the low rpm power with a turbocharger is not great. You are going to want to shorten up the first few gears and lengthen the gear ratio so that it accererates better. Might want to tune some other stuff as well.
