V_sPeCMy friend's Supra, even while using super soft racing tires, keeps having wheel spin until 3rd gear which really affects acceleration. I've tried lowering the spring rate in the rear and it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas on how to eliminate wheel spin anyone?
longer gears can help a lot against wheelspin, but don't make them too long, the wheels should still be able to spin a little (maybe not in 3rd), and then, a little bit of throttle control is needed.thaleppestrue what they say, but I think if you wideen the gears in first and second, you maybe have a little less wheelspin?
I don't know for sure, maybe anyone who can prove me wrong or right?
okieOUwell in real drag racing, the spring rate in the rear is usually set at max in order to gain traction (you dont want your car to 'squat' and shift weight too much)

ConadWell I see the problem as this game has neither tire size selection, nor the option to tub or add flares for larger width tires.
You can try setting up the suspension like a drag car, but thats only gonna help you launch. Just accept the fact that it's overpowered, and dial it back to where you have more control, or use it as a top speed, test course car.

820bhp Supra = wheel spin problem on launch
apparently the supra is notorious for this problem in GT4 even with low to moderate upgrades. your not going to get any grip unless you drop a few hundred horespower.

Wrong answer! Maybe if you run a front-wheel drive car that is true, but for 4wd and RWD cars like a Supra it is the exact opposite. The shocks would be set at maximum rebound, and min. compression, and rear springs would be set soft. Usually, you'd even run an airbag in addition to a soft spring on one of the sides (usually left, depends on the engine's rotation direction) to firm that side up and prevent the car from squatting to one side due to engine's rotational torque, and lifting the opposite front wheel. As far as the realism of drag racing goes in this game, it's BS!!! I've tried to set up a GNX for drag racing only with dedicated suspension settings, and fully modified I was only able to get into high 10's. With such a set up in real life, the car would be capable of mid-9 second runs. As far as Supras go, just check out Titan Motorsports Supras, which have street going 800-900 hp machines, which propel themselves into low-8 second times at over 150 mph with nothing more than some suspension work and a set of BFG street drag radials. They just sold a street-going 1000hp Supra not too long ago for around $60K. As far as road racing goes, I find 500-550 hp Supras or Cobra Rs with firm suspension best suited for the task. Enough punch to accelerate hard out of corners, yet not so much torque that you positively lack traction. Suspension settings that worked for me were 84 mm ride height all around, 14 kg/m springs, 5 on shock comression, and 9 on rebound, and 7/6 on front/rear stabilizers respectively. It takes a bit of getting used to, since the dynamics of handling allow for almost no roll, but you can always overcompensate for understeer in a critical situation by downshifting, and rolling on and off the throttle firmly. The ass comes right around.
ConadAww you ruined it, I was trying to get him to respond and tell us more BS before pissing in his cornflakes. Mighta even took some of his money first.
Yes the GNX didnt really get the respect it deserves. PD did a really bad job on most of the american cars. However some of it was due to the fact that the GNX needed some performance adjustments to reach full potential (no parts, just some tweakin). The rated HP was really not even close to a tuned GNX. Same with the 69' Z28, they went by the rated 290 HP, which was a flagrant lie by GM for insurance reasons. These beasts were more in the 420 HP category, and turned alot more RPM's. I did like the fact they were included at least. I miss my GN, selling her was the worst mistake I have ever made.
And sorry TM2003 I dont know how to quote 2 posts in the same one, sorry I offended you.
Yep very true the Camaros revved higher and didn't sound like crap.ConadAww you ruined it, I was trying to get him to respond and tell us more BS before pissing in his cornflakes. Mighta even took some of his money first.
