best drift 4k...using standard ae86 with stage 3 turbo only.. tongue.gif ..

btw the spoiler for drag races..if not mistaken it increases downforce which means lower the speed..maybe that ford focus got tooo much power till he need that spoiler to keep his car on the road ? scare terbang  laugh.gif

Increase downforce = more rubber contact patch = more grip = more speed. But there IS too much donwforce.

so for drag race, tune for downforce?

Like I said, there CAN BE too much downforce. Tweak it so that it will give the best downforce without making you loose top speed.

Go play simulations game more. I feel the car in ProStreet are too easy and too slow, even when my frens are saying "AHHH TOO FAST! CANNOT CONTROLL!"

Play GTR2 then. Also, the Z4 M's widebodykit is exactly (well, almost) the same like the Petronas enduro racer/Super Taikyu racer widebody (including the vents on the rear fenders).

Also, Speed Challenge in a Skyline = yawn.gif . Feel like using another car, would the E46 M3 GTR-look cut it? I don't know, I can either go PTG ALMS skinning or LeMans BMW Motorsport skinning.

And any ATI users experiencing bugs? Like random colour changes on rims, missing parts, etc.

I play GTR2, LFS, GT Legends, RACE, RACE07, and rFactor. And those game are really hard, ecspecially enduro races (I did a 24H race once, real time, and have a fever the day after finishing it).
The PTG from the All American Le Mans Series issit? I prefer Andy Priaulx's car from WTCC

@chapree: The Z4 without the diffuser will never reach the speed it reach now, not to mention it will be difficult to control XD
@kct: gMotor2 based game are all easy to mod (ISI of rFactor fame created that and licence it to Simbin which they created GTR2 with it). Also you might want to try the free M3 simulator (from 10tacle licenced by BMW and uses gMotor2) and also the Lexus LF Simulator (also free and made by ISI).

@linkinstreet: Ah, I have heard of the M3 gme, but don't feel like getting it atm (even though it's free + Nurburgring).

And Lancia Delta HF Integrale is in the game files. Too bad not the Grp. B S4.
*
It's the Nurburgring Grand Prix, not the old Nordchlife, tho because it was ported to rFactor, you CAN drove it on the old ring. Thinking back, all gMotor2 based game had been/already been/being ported to rFactor, which is nice as it has the latest game engine and has the best physics of all teh gMotor2 based games

Well supercars are full of irritating aspects. This has few, even less then a...ahem...R34 GT-r.....Which is why I loved it to bits in GT3

NSX is not a supercar. It's a good fast car with a mid layout engine which made the handling superb. What makes it awesome? It was tuned by Senna. And even today, Honda's engineer still can't figure out how Senna manage to tune the car to be that awesome

Well, after you finish the cereer mode, all repair will go FREE OR CHARGE. So you no need to spent a cent of repairing... means you can bang whatever you want, as long as you don't get totaled (you still need the total repair marker)

So you have to choose wether to pay or not?

Just got the game. And anyways, I feel that they are more focusing on European market even tho teh cars and races are mostly american. Don't believe me? Take a look at these 2 famous european track and tell me which track in ProStreet that looks like it.
Zandvoort (Holland)

Lol, I use keyboard, and now want to challenge that M3 grip king.
Some tips that I use when playing this game
- Short on money? replay races where it's easy and collect money there. There is no rush to go to the next race with a shitty car. I replayed the first few races over and over and over so that I had enough money to buy myself a decent car and upgrades.
- Grip racing needs a well balanced car. A fast car might have more top end, but is heavier and will struggle to stop in time. A slower car meanwhile will lose out on the straight. Go for cars that fall in the middle of this category for grip. The pagani Zonda, while does not have the fastest straight line, is nimble in the corners, and have a high exit speed, thus you CAN outdrag a faster car after a slow hairpin.
- For Drag, go for muscle car. Nuff said
- Don't trust the racing line help. Turn it off and learn the track by yourself. You'd be suprise on how fast you can go without it.
- Light car are good for drifting. It can change direction quickly. Also set it up so that it will not have snap oversteer.

One thing that bothers me is that the slipstreaming effect is not well simulated. While in rFactor or GTR2 or Live for Speed, if I have even a sniff of the slipstream of the car ahead, I will be quickly pulled by it, in ProStreet, it seems like it's fully absent. in real life, If you are behind a car that is using NOS, chances are you can match it's speed because the car in front is suffering from wind drag and you are being toed by him.

agree with you on all the points above except for the fact that you went grip racing with the zonda. you damn rich, man laugh.gif laugh.gif

lol, I spend 6 hours last night racing and reracing the same meet day just to get that Zonda. Not to mention I sold off all cars that I've won. Now I only have the Zonda, the original S13, HachiRoku for drifting, and 2 muscle car for speed and drag.

no la, i still powerslide out of corner. But i still apply slow in fast out technique. Dunno if it affects handling, but I do enlarge the width of the rear tyre. In real life you will have more grip but more understeer.
I also tend to cheat. If I see a corner where I can go straight, I just go straight. 9 times out of 10 you WONT damage your car doing that.

My car collection
S13 (default) --> Cobalt Drag (Sold) --> AE86 Drift --> Subaru Grip (Sold) --> Cammaro Drag --> Cammaro Speed --> 350z Grip (Won/Sold) --> Skyline Grip (Won/Sold) --> Zonda Grip. That's what I remember tho, need to look back at the game when I get back home

Also another tip. If you find a race where you use a car that is prepared by the game, replay that for as long as you can go. Damaging that car won't cost you, thus it's one of the best way to earn money
