Is there a weakness of the Trueno S.S.?

[DRIFT GOD]

the AE86 is popular { in real life} because its cheap,durable, and RWD. they are equipped with the 130hp 4AG motor and can be modified easily. the AE86 isnt the most powerful drift car, but because its so affordable to buy and build, it remains the top choice to go drifting with. the best all around drift cars are the NISSAN SILVIA S13/S14 and the NISSAN 180SX/SIL-EIGHTY. being just as affordable as the AE86.

Yes, and that makes the kids think it is a really good car, which it is not.

must be my skillthen, damn, didnt even realize, Im wicked awsome!

 

[fwdtamiya]

/\ Same here here

 

[truenofan]

well, one thing is that the trueno ss isnt really meant for speed (i mean fast speeds), its a car that has good performance and light weight, which i believe is great on technical courses.

 

[SilentRikku27]

The cars handling is better than most cars stock and when fully tuned, but I have to say due to the fact there isn't that much torque, and the S.S. version can only get to around 400 HP, that acceleration is really the only issue with it.

 

[Z32]

i agree, superb handling allows for fast cornering but accel is quite bad, dependindg on gearign and track, also top speed isnt too great also due to gearing. but its a great car nonetheless

 

[blaster834]

Only weakness is that you can put a turbo on it.. boo its a high reving N/A monster

 

[Victor Vance]

Welcome to GTPlanet, blaster834!

I like turbo cars, and you can always hybrid in the higher revs

 

[Mr.Snowman]

THX Limit 4-5. I really dont think anyone can complain about the car in real life. AND WATCH THE DRIFT BIBLE, for those that dont like the car, then i hope you can appreiciate it. Also you get to see one in a race, it is a good car. Dont belive everyone that says it is. then watch the drift bible, then I will accept your complaints.

RX-7 ROCKS

Thing is, it's popular as a drift car because it has archaic suspension. I've ridden space hoppers with more advanced suspension technology.

 

[Victor Vance]

Much like the C4

By the way, what exactly is a 'space hopper'?

 

[Famine]

 

[Mr.Snowman]

SCARY

 

[truenofan]

those are space hoppers?

 

[ledhed]

Famine why the flag ? Are you trying to signal the leader of the hoppers ?

 

[Victor Vance]

Uhm, where is Yorkshire? England? Figures. (no offense, we just call 'em bouncing balls )

 

[Tedehur]

Famine why the flag ? Are you trying to signal the leader of the hoppers ?

I guess it's a checkered flag used especially for hopper races.

 

[truenofan]

go hop go! i wonder how many laps?

 

[Pistachio]

The MX-5 is worlds ahead.

Trueno seems to have a problem with putting power down to the rear wheels. I think it is utter shat for racing.

The SS is even worse, soo expensive, you can do soo much better.

 

[truenodrifter]

so expensive. you cant buyit, you only can win it so in my book thats cheap. and a fun little car to beat around in. i might use it in the trial mountain endurance.

 

[Pistachio]

so expensive. you cant buyit

Good point, then sell it for much more than it's worth. As far as grip racing goes it's nothing short of horrid.

You can not enter this car in the trial mountain endurance as it has modified parts fitted when you get it. The Standard parts can not be purchased or fitted and as such is treated as a modified car in a similar way as the Mines & Spoons are treated.
Stock cars only for the Trial Mountain Enduro.

I usually do not sell prize cars that you can only win once.

 

[Pistachio]

Another good point, but that is not the point of this thread. They wanted to know the weakness of the SS, not weather or not you WOULD sell it, but if there are better cars in the game.

I don't sell any cars, no matter how crap, i like to have one of each and several of my favourite, that is a goal i have with every save i start.

The engine isn't Durable...The car might be..but the 4-age is in no way a durable engine....And modified easily? By easily you mean TIME right? because it's aftermarket isn't cheap......And the Sil-eighty is simply a replacment for people who have broken their cars......1-10000 people with "sil-eightys" have REAL sil-eighties and if they had them they wouldn't drift them, because they're the few in that group of imitations that the bodylines actually match up.....

 

[LVT Racing]

the trueno is a good car, but it doesn't do well against most cars, it's only able to keep up with some hondas and lower class cars. but after watching initial D, i just grew to like it, it did need some hp boost so i played with gameshark and my trueno is pushing 571hp, stage 2 turbo lol.

 

[exhaust_note]

i like it alot for drifting... 217 hp seems to be just rite.....

 

[BAR-ZoNdA]

to my suprise i have used the trueno s.s alot, ive done over 400km with it. i dont mind it, its a pretty zipply little car

 

[Soarer]

have not touched it except for wen playing Vs
