wow...its been a long time since i have posted here but its also been a long time since i picked up the game. so now they have a dedicated thread to drifters eh? only thing i can say to that is...it was bound to happen. :)


so im assuming if you are viewing this...then you are into both drifting and into the ZO6. thanks for stoppin to read.


i personally have come to terms with myself that the ZO6 is my favorite car to drift. a close second is the FD's but the ZO6 still ranks on top of my list for the drifting car of choice.


would anybody mind posting their settings for their ZO6s tuned for drifting? here is my input on what should be done to trick this ride out.


**weight reduction must be at least stage 2.**

thats the only way to go with this sucker cuz if you neglect the car in this way...you wont be able to manuver it around the way you need to.

**flywheel must be of the semi-racing variety**

this is pretty much true for most drifter cars in GT3. without the revs falling so damn fast...you gain the ability to modulate the throttle much easier than you would with a racing flywheel.

**NA tuning**

if you go with stage 1 then you should use sim tires
if you go with stage 2 then you should use normal tires
if you go with stage 3 then you should use sport tires

pretty simple eh? :p

**springs**

i strongly suggest that you reduce the spring rates in the front and back evenly to about 7.4kg in front and 7.1kg in back. but play around with it...to each his own.

**camber**

pretty much whatever you want. i prefer 1.6F/.6R

**damper**

the usual.

**stabilizers**

level 4 does the trick in front and back

**VCD**

i have mine set to 11 initial/24 accel/8 decel. as with the springs...to each his own...whatever fits your style of play will do.


AND ASIDE FROM ALL THIS...JUST PURCHASE THE BEST PARTS


hope this was of interest. i was just bored and dreaming of owning one of these badboys and then one thing led to another and here i am. like i said...feel free to add your settings...i wouldnt mind trying some new ones out. ;)

I think you mean LSD (limited slip differential) there, since VCD(variable centre differential) has to do with AWD cars.

But yeah the ZO6 is pretty good
 
YES THE ZO6 kicks ass.... ILL give you my settings, they are pretty easy since they are the same almost for every car.. haha
BUT THEY WORK
FIRST BUY ALL THE EXPENSIVE STUFF... the power is up to you but all the stuff like in the drivetrain and wieght. SPEND ALL THE MONEY YOU CAN!!lol
SPRINGS= F/13.6 R/11.6
lower it (its up to you how low)
TOE= R/ .5
BRAKE= F/11 R/9
LSD= intial/60 accel/60 decel/60
TSC/0
ASM/0
SIM TIRES set the gears to your likeing according to power and go......Personally i dont use anything to drift but sim tires, and i use SUPER SLICKS to race, but if you know a way to drift with other tires then feel free. GET BACK TO ME ON HOW YOU LIKE MY SETTINGS??? I use the same settings for every car too(more or less) NO JOKE
 
see thats the thing... i dont have any drift cars or special settings... I LIKE ALL MY CARS to be completely drivable... hence i go for maximum stability... i figure the more stable a car is the better it will react to my input when drifting, thats why all my limited slip settings are at there max; 60..(but only for the rear wheels) im mostly a FR driver so i can afford to set those cars up similiarly, as all mid rears are similiar. too each his own.. i honestly dont believe in drift settings.. YOu and i may have different ways of driving and the setting that helps you may not help me..
 
crazy settings! lol. ill have to try them out. should be interesting. and i have tried the stang out for drifting. sim tires fa sho too. with that car i have been able to drift all the way through the longest turn on complex string. =) thats usually my goal with drifter cars. i know i got a good setup when i can do that with the car im tuning.
 
damn you JDM POWER....lol YOU TOO HAVE DRIFTED tHE (sacred) longest turn in COMPLEX STRING???? which i think is also the longest turn in the game.... I HOPE YOU DONT MEAN THE figure 8 turns... the ones that get smaller to big (COMPLEX STRING) or big toi small (COMPLEX STRING II) i thought i was the first to do it.... OH WELL hope i can beat you to doing it on video. im now working on the first turn in SSII right.... the whole first section... look at the map on ssII and youll see what im going for..its big.. hope i beat you to that
