    The Viper has 355s on the back and 305s on the front. I don't know of any cars in the game with wider tires.

    WHY COULDN'T IT COME OUT LAST WEEK.

    that rampage challenger has 405s on the front and rear

    Geeze, really? Wish I could put them on the Venom.

    405 fronts, too?

    Jezuz. I thought the 370s on the rears of some of the Le Mans cars was as high as it got.

    So I downloaded that free Viper, and I unlocked it in Autovista, but in career it's not listed when I try to buy it

    Why Forza gods, why?

    Decided to get back into Forza 4 this weekend, I haven't really played since launch month, just kinda forgot about it. I realized i had not donwloaded the 'free' car from any single monthly pack that had come out since the game launched so that shows you the last time I played... :\

    My dad shipped me the LE version of the game as a gift for my bday last year so I figured eh why not and just bought the Porsche pack for $15, it's downloading now, hoping I didn't make a mistake. Was surprised it was only 350 or so megs....

    edit - side not, for not playing in months and having the limited edition I was disappointed to not have a single gifted car from Turn10 waiting for me, i thought that was gonna be one of the perks of the LE :\

    it's a choice by Chrysler, they are spinning SRT into it's own brand starting with the new viper. The odd thing is that it's under Viper on the car list and not under SRT....

    It is. But you probably have to be playing to get it.

    So, in order to make up for my rather poor outburst after last weeks races, I'm in the process of building a standings and results spreadsheet. Haven't done a lot of spreadsheet work in a while, and I'm not sure how powerful Google Docs is, but I hope to have something up by next weeks race.

    Am I to assume that the cars spreadsheet that was around earlier is accurate?

    Dont worry about it im working on that.

    Made a quick video:

    My benchmarks for Infineon so far:

    TC: 1:49.0
    SC: 1:40.0

    I hate you.

    I tried racing people's ghosts and I just...I can't even beat my own ghost. I ran about 20 laps of Infineon with the Volvo (can't do it with Rossion against S class cars cuz I'm retard helmeting it). Apparently I'm just stuck in the 1:54s.

    I give up until I get my wheel for my birthday. Then when I can re-learn the game I'll try not to suck so hard.

    Fender, I noticed you tuned the Rossion with 130% braking pressure. That's something you do for controllers, right? I shouldn't do that with a set of pedals, right?

    You're in luck, I just ran my Rossion at Infineon, it was STUPID fast, about 2 seconds fast than my merc. This track seems to be a high downforce track, so I think the Rossion has a natural advantage.

    Running high 1:38s on occasion assuming I don't get sideways on those uphill turns after the start, low 1:39s are the norm.

    The señor dos is running about 1:48.4 and up. It doesn't have the balls to get up those uphill sections.

    The weird angles on the turns and the fact that they're all just stupidly different in terms of elevation means that any time you go over a hill your car is going to go "LOL I'M A PLANE" and your tires will hate you.

    This track is going to be terrifying with 16 people on it. The high speeds on the back "straight" and the narrowness of the track is going to result in a lot of rage.

    ehh, that's a personal preference, you can change the pressure and balance to your liking.

    On a different note, just saying this to throw it out there, but the 'Fender is a robot' shit is getting old. If you want an in depth explanation for the reasoning you can talk to me about it.

    Dang, I miss racing with you all, first I get a job that happens on the same late night you all game, then after my xbox live subscription dies, I get laid off. Hopefully my next job will let me make races with you guys.

    Also too, thanks for keeping me in the group as well, it's rather interesting to watch how people join, flood the garage with cars, then get the boot.

    That's mostly me recommending those that don't actually race with us or have a low level out of the club. Too many people spamming the club garage with shit cars.

    Huh. I'm assuming Knight had a design on his BMW. In this replay, it's just solid black. Didn't download his livery, I guess.

    I did. My E30 seems to be a fan of randomly having the livery not work/take bits and pieces of other people's liveries and display them randomly.

    when I was spectating (after ending up stuck on my side in lap 2 of the second race) it didn't show anyone with livery. jusr red, white, black, or silver cars

    Finally got a chance to get back to Forza and run some laps.

    Right now my SC Cali is running 1:42 flat, and could drop into high 1:40s if I could manage to string together the laps where I actually didn't screw up any section of the track. Consistent splits of -.484 just before the sweeper, +.849 after the first hairpin and then +/-.07 across the line are controller throwingly frustrating.

    TC Lanica is pulling in relatively consistent low-to-flat 1:50s (though pushing it through some of those turns is not going to be advisable in a long-term situation). Until I see some more times from people I'll be racing against (aka not Scat or Groove) I'm gonna just call those good enough.

    EDIT: Ah yes, I also was gifted a 360CS from HTKeenan. A VIP thing maybe?

    1:42s and 1:50s are actually a safe bet, and in all honesty I run about a second slower on race day than I do just running laps. Passing on this track is going to be nightmarish, so the key is to not die. Which is how these races go down anyways.

    I might not be making this Thursday, sadly. I won't be able to repeat my awesome feat of flipping over, crashing into the wall at the top of the hill in turn 1, then sliding on my roof across the track and coming to rest against the pit wall.

  • BloodsheedBloodsheed Registered User regular
    I did manage to coax a 1:39.9 out of the Cali in hotlapping, but it was invalid due to a single rewind (horrible entry on the first hairpin). The only big issue for it I think is going to be tire temp, as at certain points it gets a little ice skates on the elevation changes, mostly on cold tires, but I haven't checked that part of the telemetry yet because it gets better and I'll want to hang back and take it easy first lap anyway.

    Here's a tip for SC, unless you know better, crank up that downforce! I managed to gain a second with max downforce.

    I'm probably gonna bow out for tonight. Comcast fucked something up in my area and my internet keeps blipping out for like, a second or two every 5 minutes. Makes it impossible to stay online in anything.
