how the hell is the RS4 S faster than the 260RS?

Haha you know it is, makes perfect sense! Well in the world of GT4 the RS4 makes a max 590HP, and about 600Nm @ 3200rpm from memory. Whereas the RS260 makes about 570HP, and a little less torque, but at 4400rpm or so. I assume the Nitrous used adds the same amount of power to either engine, you're not told how much that is so only guessin.

On the strip I'd think the higher rpm torque of the RS260 would be better. However the RS260 can be reduced to 1427kg, the RS4 1360kg, hence the RS4 should be faster. Doesn't reflect real-life, but I'm an RS4 driver so you won't see me complaining

But that time of 9.458 in the RS260 I thought was bloody quick considering the weight difference, just not the fastest Stagea!!

Haha who can beat my 9.433?!!? I see its getting close!!

Tuned the 25t RS FourS and ran a 9.386 on my second pass, managed a 9.39 on another but couldn't beat it.

Yep,

RS Four S tunnnned (almost 200K credits for everything):

and my best 260RS time:

Running as close to the same settings as possible in both cars.

I am a really sucky driver so someone can beat this time I am sure, just think drag car/traction and you will get it there pretty easy, maybe a bit of luck!

I really need to update to a PS2 - or should I wait and go SERIOUSLY broke when the PS3 comes out?

[Spammeoff]

Gearbox changed.... and now back with a faster time for ya'll!!

Haha slammed. My flatmate told me a 9.2 would be possible, and I told him he was a fool.. but maybe theres a case!!

[AlexCim]

there was once a day when people said 10 second GTR's were impossible mate....

now there are 8 second GTR's

[GoldZilla]

Just heard an ad on TV earlier that RRP for PS2's is gonna be $199.95 (black) or $209.95 (satin silver), and somewhere is already selling them for $188... Might finally be time to step up.

[qikstagea]

man im still on 9.440.... i gotta be missing something simple if youre a tenth of a second ahead. im learning a shitload about suspension and gearbox tuning though! never read all that shit that scrolls across the bottom before...

cant get much lower than i 9.3 sec pass...

[timmmay]

k-mart has ps2 on sale for $188

expect the up-market model of the ps3 to be 800+ when it comes out

[Spammeoff]

Work on your gears mostly. I reckon a 9.2 can be done...

[EGA41T]

how do you engage the nos?

[AlexCim]

So, are you guys hitting the rev limiter in 5th, or at least 4th by the 400m line? If not, id say you could make the ratios shorter.

Try to make the car shift at the point where the power starts to drop off, then it shift into a point where the power is almost peak.

Also, id say its safe to assume that the NOS just makes a "boost" of power through the entire powerband, meaning peak power etc will all be at the same time.

[munchstagea]

Yeah I have been lazy to date, have just used the overall ratio thing to bring them all down to the point when I get the limiter light falshing in 6th as I hit the line. 1/2/3 shift so fast then spend a bit more in 4th then most in 5th. I will have to look into that!

[qikstagea]

like i said earlier, im a split second off hitting the limiter in 6th just as i cross the 400m. beautiful.

[munchstagea]

PS3 should be interesting

just shows the tech really...

[EGA41T]

what specs have you guys been tuning to get such low times, at the moment im getting 11second passes

[munchstagea]

Have you got 500+KW and Qualifying tyres? Basically, full power mods, tune the gearbox to use all six over the quarter, use traction control and auto gearbox mode. You should get into the 10's with that easy, just holding it flat...

Not sure if we are sharing too much more yet??? But it's all in there.

[munchstagea]

a 9.2xx!

I think I am retired now...
