Suspension/LSD... yeah. Thats my basic FR set up.

As far as the trans go.... for the most part. It will work for higher hp cars like an Enzo/Supra/Corvette/Viper.... but for lower hp car.... Muscle cars/ new Camaro... stuff like that... you may want to try and get them to leave in 1st.

Its the same basic concept...First all the way to the left...leave 2nd alone... make 3rd 4th and 5th parallel... 6th all the way to the right. Always have your top speed selector to the lowest MPH possible. (note... thats how you set up a 4WD trans by the way...)

Nice posts it'll help people out.

Essentially the more toe you add the more tire is in contact with the ground

Explain!
How is that possible?

Here is my guess on the way it works in GT5, It's because of the angle it acts as being like a wider tyre. heres a crappy image of what I mean, Imagine in the pic you are only looking at the contact area of the trye, if you add toe angle it gives you a larger contact patch.



red line representing the area of contact with no toe angle, blue lines representing the area of contact with toe angle.

I know in the real world adding huge amounts of toe doesn't work the same it does in GT5.

Good explanation. All I know is that it works in the game.

Basically... adding toe is turning your tire sideways... in doing so you get more surface area touching the ground because its no longer parallel with your direction of travel. You are a tunnel tuner... and as you know toe will slow you down because your fighting the natural physics of the wheel... witch wants to role straight. By turning your drive wheels in with toe... your contact patch goes from [-] to /=/ plus the forces being applied to the side of the tire -->/=/ ...Your basically using more of your tire because your dragging it out of alignment with your car in essence witch causes more wear on the tire but give you more traction. Thats the best i can explain it with out a bunch of physics mumbo jumbo lol
