Hours, or perhaps as much as a day, before the volume was deleted, some unknown to the GT4 board (likely an alt of someone else on the board, or possibly a lurker) posted in the topic something to the effect of, "god, this again? why do you people keep making this annoying topic?" We were all fairly suspicious that he was the one that marked the topic, resulting in its deletion. --- Gades: Puny knight! I AM EVIL! Hero: E....Evil? oldguy1957 Posted 6/23/2007 8:46:27 AM message detail I decided to hook up the PS2 again. The GT4 withdrawals were getting to be too much for me. Apparently we did have a Vantage V8 WR before, because there was one in my garage. I'm a bit rusty since it's been several months without practice. I took it pretty easy on the first lap, then a little more aggressive on the second lap. I ended up with a 7'42.7 on S2's. I started 4 or 5 more laps, and was a few seconds ahead of my ghost, but crashed and bailed on each of those attempts. My overall impression of the car was that it was a bit too powerful to be a lot of fun. It does handle pretty well, though. Good balance and recoverability. I got way out of shape several time, and was able to pull it back under control (usually) without losing a ton of time. With a little more practice, I could probably whittle 5 to 10 more seconds off my time. It would be a fun car with softer tires, or a little less hp. --- A.K.A.

So, I have dusted off my Vantage and dragged it out from the back of my Garage. I also went to the Classic Yard and bought a few Cars for the BR.

I'll have to check it out. --- This username dedicated to Gamefaqs moderation staff nightmare75 Posted 6/26/2007 1:59:34 PM message detail I found my original memory card today and it just happened to have a Vantage on it. It took it out for a Ring lap (only had time for one) and my first impression was that this car is an absolute PIG. The car is close to 2000 kg. It does have 550 hp working for it however, and I never thought that I'd say that it wasn't enough. It kinda isn't, if you ask me. Anyway, straight line speed was decent, but could be better. It was pretty stable at high speed, but had some pretty bad understeer at high speed. It handled OK for the most part, especially considering that the beast weighs a couple tons. Occasionally when I was under hard braking, the nose would dive and the front of the bumper would scrape the ground, causing sparks to fly.

I turned a couple of pretty good laps like this, including this one: i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/Ringtime.jpgI used a set-up from GTVault, and it made the FGT handle the Ring very well.

It's powerful, stable and planted, just the right combo in my opinion. Driving without aids will allow you to utilize "lift-throttle oversteer" or as some call it "trailing-throttle oversteer." (just means that the rear end kicks out if you let off the throttle mid-turn) One of the coolest things about the Mustang GT is that it has more torque than horsepower (320 lb/ft & 295 bhp), which gives it plenty of grunt in the lower rev-ranges. You may be able to drive it better if you look closely at the engine map (the little graph in the upper-right corner of the tuning menu) and shift at power peak (around 5800 rpm, if memory serves). That way, when your revs fall at upshift, it will be around the torque peak, giving you good acceleration. I love this car, and many others just like it. I'll still have to get around to the Vantage.

No SIVICK ESS EYE TYPE ARR for this song. I've never heard it, but from the title it seems safe to assume that it rocks pretty hard, so it deserves a car that equally rocks. Also, when I think "depth charge" I think 2 things: 1) heavy. 2) da BOMB, baby! The above leads me to the conclusion that this song "Depth Charge Ethel" requires a vehicle that is heavy, but rocks so hard it could hemorrhage your spleen (if you don't obey the Surgeon General's Warning). I'm thinkin' the Jay Leno Tank Car®. The only car to weigh in excess of three metric tons, yet still have gobs of torque that can push it over 125 mph (200 km/h) deserves a special WR. --- I was Ignignoc in a former life... gt4fox.proboards100.com/index.cgi? - For great justice. nightmare75 Posted 7/1/2007 6:43:01 PM message detail My Mustang WR Report: I really like the new Mustang's look. It kind of hearkens back to the older style Mustangs, but still looks modern and awesome. At 25k, it's close to a steal. On S2s at the Ring, this car was a tad surprising. I was expecting to get a whole bunch of that supposedly ubiquitous American understeer, but was surprised when it handled fairly well. It has a torquey engine that handles hills really well. The gearing was probably a little tall for a car with a scanty 295 hp, but it still accelerated well. I did encounter a little bit of understeer at high speed, but it was manageable for the most part. I ran a couple laps with S2s, with times around 8'09.Then I put on the N2s... With N2s, the car still handled OK. It didn't change direction as well as on S2s and there was a little more understeer in the car at lower speeds. It stayed well-grounded and stable at high speed. My lap times with the N2s were around 8'29 or so. I came into this WR immediately after finishing the FGT World Championship and I have to say it took a little bit of adjusting to get used to not going 200 mph all the time. I like this car a lot. I'm currently in the process of making a Mustang that emulates a race car so I can beat JGTC machines with it. It's got ~493 hp, but needs some serious tuning to get rid of some understeer. I'll try to have some pictures of my Ring-runnin' some time tomorrow. --- Proud Follower of Pastafarianism -- 12/15/06 www.gt4fox.proboards100.com -- For awesomeness! Tupacrulez Posted 7/1/2007 11:06:01 PM message detail foir your tuning, a good way to do things is to turn on your ASM to at least 1 a piece * i use 1 over, 3 under* and use a BBC....because the ASM engages the brake, with the BBC at say: F2 B5, the car oversteers, and has the braking to make it more of a RWD handling car. Limited slip full can be used, should be: 7, 53, 16.....i get awesome results from this setting on early all stock cars i put this on. i usually don't even touch suspension for my oversteer/understeer woes....and i never have oversteer woes, as i like my cars to steer easily.....i often will test them to see how easy they are to spin, the easier the better......to a point.... --- It's Not Personal, It's Strictly Business *new pics,at the back* s190.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Micheal_Corleone/ nightmare75 Posted 7/2/2007 7:01:14 AM message detail Just so you know, the aids on the car are off.

Tupacrulez Posted 7/2/2007 11:33:00 AM message detail no need to keep things on the ASM anything higher than 1, but going round a turn with the BBC tuned and the ASM at 1 for under and over can really help the nature of your car, in fact, since you want a bit of over, turn it off, and turn on under to 1.....still engages the brake juuuuuuust a little, whilst not affecting your speed too negatively....and it affects the handling of your car due to the BBC.... I am no good at suspension tuning......or at least it ain't my favourite part of the tuning process, so i've learned how to get better handling out of other settings. --- It's Not Personal, It's Strictly Business *new pics,at the back* s190.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Micheal_Corleone/ nightmare75 Posted 7/2/2007 3:38:28 PM message detail Here's some pics of the Mustang GT at the Ring: i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/MustangGT.jpgi168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/Mustang5.jpgi168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/Mustang4.jpgi168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/Mustang3.jpgi168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/Mustang2.jpg--- Proud Follower of Pastafarianism -- 12/15/06 www.gt4fox.proboards100.com -- For awesomeness! nightmare75 Posted 7/3/2007 8:46:03 PM message detail bump --- Proud Follower of Pastafarianism -- 12/15/06 www.gt4fox.proboards100.com -- For awesomeness! viperinthegrass Posted 7/3/2007 8:52:58 PM message detail Nightmare75 - photos added to Ringdiary album.

But that is mostly because most modern American cars push like a snow-plow. The Mustang does not have a painful, can't-get-it-to-turn understeer. But I wouldn't call it neutral handling, either. The front breaks loose before the back. In fact, I couldn't get the back to break loose at all...even in the beginning esses, where one can usually get the back end swinging side to side enough to invoke at least a little oversteer. I only used S2's. Perhaps on N's it's a different story. The car does get around the track pretty well. I'm sure some of you were able to break 8 minutes, which is good for 310 hp car. It felt a little heavy at times, but not too bad. I was shooting for that 8-minute lap, but my best of two laps was a 8'01.9. I'm sure that, in real life, the car is a lot of fun to drive. But if I'm going to take something to the Ring, I think I'd stick, for the most part, to foreign suspension-engineering. --- A.K.A. Don Papa Tupacrulez Posted 7/4/2007 3:05:24 PM message detail i found the mustang to be decent, although hardly something i would call oversteery...my idea of a good handling fun car is the viper with mid turn full throttle or the strato's.....those are fun cars.... --- It's Not Personal, It's Strictly Business *new pics,at the back* s190.photobucket.com/albums/z317/Micheal_Corleone/ wanderingmuse22 Posted 7/4/2007 9:47:05 PM message detail Do you think we could get them to make a Mustang with the engine in the back?

I then thought, "How could I make this car more difficult to drive? I know," I exclaimed, "I'll turn off the driving aids!" This is a fairly standard procedure for me, but on a car this tail-heavy, it could be an adventure. I was about to run a few laps when I thought to myself, "This car could still drive WORSE!" I then proceeded to equip N2s. Oh boy. I was in for a ride. I'll tell this story... WITH PICTURES!!!! It started off interestingly enough. And by interesting, I mean that the tires weren't touching as much pavement as I would have liked. Here's an example of how: i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/offroad.jpgI found this car a little hard to control at first. It had gigantic oversteer in a lot of situations. I know that NONE of you guys probably encountered this (lol) so I'll provide a picture. i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/BTR.jpgI got used to the car a little, even to the point where I was doing some controlled drifting through the technical section. Here you can see how I chained a couple together: First one: i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/driftone.jpgThen another: i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/thenanother.jpgYou can see that I thought I had the hang of the car. Then I was proved wrong: i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/Oops.jpgI ended up enjoying my drive in this car, so I figured I'd get at least one picture of it were all four tires actually had traction ^_^ i168.photobucket.com/albums/u166/nightmare_75/GT4/BTR2.jpgTimes in this car were around 8'13 with the N2s. I reverted the car back to its default S3 tires and found the car to be much more easily manageable. I actually found some understeer in the car in a couple corners. Still, you need to be careful about braking in anything but a straight line because the back end will come around on you. As for the Mod/Admin BR, I believe that you all know where you can find that one ^_^ --- Proud Follower of Pastafarianism -- 12/15/06 www.gt4fox.proboards100.com -- For awesomeness! Tupacrulez Posted 7/12/2007 9:58:35 PM message detail Hmmm i love oversteer so this was the car for me. i didn't throw N2's on...as that was a tad bit...eh.....foolish to my views...why crash a good car? lol anyway pics will be around soon enough. no long write up, i have better things to do.

Of the three sand traps, I find two of them on a fairly regular basis. The one behind Aremberg is usually because I missed Shwedenkreuz because I was being too aggressive. The other one is Pflantzgarten, which has destroyed many a good lap time where I was too aggressive. --- Proud Follower of Pastafarianism -- 12/15/06 www.gt4fox.proboards100.com -- For awesomeness!

Okay 
Have finished transferring Volume XVl into our Diary thread.
That is near as dammit 200 posts, so I will look to start volume XVll about the end of page 23 ( @ 15 posts per page I believe ).
So at the moment we have a RUF BTR WR™ happening, nightmare75 threatening us with a RR™ and Ignignoc working on a Jay Leno Tank Car / Depth Charge Ethel BR™ .
Whew !! It's all happening.
I therefore declare the :
gt4fox.proboards Nürburgring Diaries
open, and may god bless all those who sail in her  [/size] |

For me to work on the "Depth Charge Ethel" Special™, I'd have to actually own the Tank Car®, which I do not. I = suck.

It is actually a rather crappy car, IMHO. For a machine with that kind of hype about it, you would think it would drive a little better, but it kinda sux0rz. However, last time I drove it was against top GT classed cars in a Family Cup (Laguna Seca).
I'm curious to see how it handles the 'Ring. It's got a weird shift, but it seems to have "meh" power...
I'm not the biggest Skyline fan ever, mind you...
