I'm sure I will Are these settings you've come to use through testing or from what the guide suggests? I'm just wondering, because these seem to be a lot different than how I'd initally set my car up to.

Thanks

They are a mix of both....what I'm finding is you're aways going to need to tweak the setting to match your style of driving.

Trial and error!

GREAT! Thank you for the input. I can tell you I have no less than one dozen tunes for my SS in the "other" game, because I'm constantly trying to match the style I like to race in.

MANY KUDOS TO YOU !!!

Gonna try this out tonight. I've never played a REAL racing sim.....I'm used to arcade stuff like old school "Driving Exotica" or whatnot. Thought the hubby and I would enjoy trying this out, seeing as how it's the closest we'll get to owning a 2010 Camaro anytime soon.

Now here's a question for you guys....how do I get the damn husband to STOP ruining my camaro? His '90's been outta commission for a while while he rebuilds the engine and stuff. So he's using my car, and it's horrible. He's wrecked it twice, throws his trash everywhere, and there's cig junk all over. I want my Black Betty back. Is tying him up and dragging him behind her illegal in this country, or can I blame it on pms?

I hear you on that! It is what it is, though

As far as your hubby - you gotta' do what you gotta' do...

I can tell you I literally bought every mod for the car, and then had to straight out BLOCK the competition to get anywhere near winning. If the Toyota 7 or Chapparal 2J is starting on pole, don't bother as they will take off never to be seen again.

Not quite sure I remember which race this was, but I probably used a corvette.

I finally took some time to do a few of the challenges (I forget their exact names...) and unlocked the track I was most hoping to unlock - The Top Gear Test Track. That was pretty fun! I finally got the feel of driving and drafting those buses, and it wasn't too bad. Initially - I was pretty frustrated, but then figured out a strategy. I tried the Lotus, but wasn't feeling it, because I got distracted by seeing a '87 GNX (I think it was an "X") for sale, so I scooped that up. Then I noticed a C4 ZR-1, but missed that one I did find a C4 GS, and got that one. Finally, I picked up an '01 SS. I did find the Silverado Concept Truck, too. That thing drives like poop, but I haven't finished mod'ing it because I was low on dough, and had to drive in order to earn credits to buy all these cars. I'll have to keep my eyes open for that ZR-1 though

I played for a few hours last night and had an okay time. I kinda' like finding those older cars; that's some motivation for me.

Another thing I don't really like is I guess you can't remove and of the mod's on the cars. I really didn't get as good a payoff with buying a second SS so I could race-modify it, but it looks okay. I don't know if I want to spend the time to do the same with my ZR1, but I probably will.

I do like rebuilding the engine and chassis features though. They cost a lot of credits, but that's pretty cool. I wish we could modify the "Standard" cars more though, because I was hoping to at least get some wheels for the SS. The only thing I ended up doing was painting it. I didn't have much money for the other mods', but I was hoping for a body kit, or a nice spoiler or wheels, but - Oh well!

I'm also finally getting a little more used to modulating the throttle and brakes, too. I was able to control my '10 SS around Laguna Seca and get into the lower 1:20s. I think I actually have it tuned better than my ZR1, lol.

If I get my internet back up Radz I can hook you up with a C4 ZR-1. I gots two! You want black or red. LOL
