I might have missed it in my search, but I didn't see proof of the 309.

Then you weren't looking, it is on the Leaderboard as verified which means, funnily enough, it's verified :p

FormulaGT
Stage 4 turbo is the preferred option for top speeds on most cars.

If you can get a Stage 5, I hope you do so :p

texanidiot25
Basicaly, upgrade the car to its max in everything (you can forget the brakes) and then it comes down to tuning the transmission to get to those speeds.

How long have you been doing this?

texanidiot25
you cant just hold it at one position really, just kinda tap the d pad. the wheel is just waaaaay more precise because you have the full 2.5 turns lock-to-lock like a real car, wheres the stick is like an inche.

Speak for yourself...

as for the trani, i usualy set the auto all the way up, make the lower gears as long as possible (and still decent accel) so that by the time you get to your higher gears, you can make them shorter and keep the car in its power band. then enough room in the last gear for n2o if you use it.

Its not working for me... I think you got the link wrong.

Nope, that works fine.

low ride height, and low downforce = more speed

Oh, I'm getting cynical in my old age... Already...

Anyway. Well done on your speed in the Zonda, seeinstripes, that photo is borderline but just about acceptable as proof.

I think the whole stage 4/5 issue is a matter of personal preference, as I more often end up using the stage 4 in my setups. In fact, I'm pretty sure I used a Stage 4 in my Supra RZ tune, which I'm pretty sure is capable of taking the record back (if I can ever use the Supra again!). 👍
 
Interesting you say that, MS, because the first 300mph GT-Rs used Stage Five turbos... Although I don't know about the others. In the GT-R34 V-SpecII Nur, it's 913bhp for Stage 5 versus 910bhp for the Stage 4 anyway... Although I can't remember the torque, I'm pretty sure the 5 is higher, and it's better at lower revs anyway.

where's the old age? :sly:

i also think that my Supra runs with Stage 4 turbine-kit, i'll check that tomorrow. and i also think that it's a personal decision, but i'm sure that you'll need different gearing for stage 4 and stage 5.

you think not having gt4 is sad? read This.

no problem for the Welcome:)
Click to expand...

Omg.. really.. that is sad =\
Hope you get your Gt4 soon :)
And thx for the welcome again.

viperpilot
thanks man, is/was hard work 👍

i really doubt that the S2000, even the GT1-race-car can break the 300mph-barrier. but maybe i'm wrong (hopefully not).....

viper
Click to expand...

Yeah.. i agree with you.. to get 300Mhp with any model of S2K it´s very very difficult, to not say impossible. Too less HorsePower to get it =\

But i still get to try to se where it goes ^^

And about the viper, The Dodge Viper is, for me, one of the most amazing and fun-to-drive cars the Gt4 have; I was glad to see you keep trying to make him come to the top :) No problem by the Good job, you deserve it xD

FormulaGT
There a few RX-8 models already on the Leaderboard, so some of the RX-8's are certainly able to go 300 MPH. I don't think the S2000 will be able to make it; the CTR2 has nearly 950 hp with every component, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's 300 MPH material.

FormulaGT
Click to expand...

For sure. Nice to see some of the Rx-8 on the leaderboard; The link was very usefull! :)


Thanks a lot to you all.

Ps: I will bring you some of my results with the s2k today, as soon as i see it´s getting hard to go up, just to see where it goes! x)

Regards,

ShocK~

Ps: I just see now, lol. There is no Porsche on the Gt4? Or i´m getting crazy?

^^
 
I guess I'm the only one to get off topic in this thread. At least I didn't quote the entire first post! ha ha. Sorry for the semi-spam DarkElite, it will stop. I did find the 309 Zonda and a 306, so I guess I'm 3rd fastest Zonda on the list? Thanks for clearing all that up.

I was just kidding about this thread being the whole discussion board, I like to joke a lot. Sorry to hit a nerve.

This is actually a very for real AWESOME website and I appreciate everything you guys do to manage it. I have a fishing website (my name + .com) with over a hundred pages and a fishing discussion board that I have to babysit, so I know how much trouble it can all be. Thanks.

Tapping the d-pad is the worst thing you can do, especially if you've set the car up correctly to go fast. Correct me if I'm wrong, DE, but the car should be pretty loose/unstable by the time you come out of the curve to make it fast. Do you find the wheel to be much more precise (from the experience of a non-idiot)?

By the way, to beat a dead horse, I haven't seemed to find that different tires made much difference in my speed. I remember reading some into that in this thread.
 
I can't see how 309 got done in this car. I believe I found the "secret" to speed tonight, but still couldn't push the Zonda much past 263-264 w/o NOx prior to hitting the home stretch. All I can say is that guy knows something about going FAST!

Here's my 306.39 to put this one at #2:

Since GT1, my approch isnt your approch, but you have way too mucht time on your hands if your gonna flame on every comment. :banghead:

And as for the link, Ive already stated that it works, and was probly and error on freewebs, wouldnt be the 1st time.

Hi People.
I Just have the notes of my S2000 Runs in my hand x)

I started with the Honda S2000 '04, with full best parts, and lvl 3 Turbo (The best we can bought for this car. What left me with 464Hp, if i´m not wrong.

In the First run, after just setting up some basic configurations, i have got 212Mhp :\

After setting up transmission, Nitrous system, and ride height, i have got something about 230Mhp.

More changes on the gears, more training with the S2k.. and i come up with 240Mhp~

More changes, more gear setup, and then the best speed i´ve got with the boy:

245.38Mhp.

A bit low then i think i could go. I will push some more, and then, i will try with the Amuse S2000 GT1, to see if that car can push a little more. Even if they can´t reach the 300Mhp barrier, what i´m sure they can´t, i think will be nice to discover the limits of that both cars.

Regards,

ShocK~
 
Seeinstripes, nice speed with the Jag 👍 - seein' as how that's a record speed (couldn't avoid the pun :) ) you're going to need a video of the run as well - from the Rules in post #1:

-1.2 All record-breaking speeds and any speed exceeding 350mph must be proven by video in addition to Session Record display outlined in 1.1.

Regarding your tires comment; it depends on the car. For a few it makes no difference, for others you need R5's to be able to keep speed up on the turn, for still others you need to stagger the tires to balance the car through the turn and for low powered cars sometimes less sticky tires (s1's, 2's or 3's) are the ticket. The real answer is each car and setup is different and you have to experiment.
 
=\
Bad results here. Amuse S2K GT1 Didin´t give any good runs in various settings; The car have a hundred more horsepower then the '04 version, and give almost the same top speeds, all around 245~Mhp.

I think a player better then me in settings and running can get it to 250,260, but no more =\

So sad.

Time to choose a new ride x)
Maybe i get to the Rx-8 Lm edition; I will see.

When i get something nice, i will post here!

Regards,

ShocK~
 
My bad..

Wrong tuning @ the GT1.

The best speed i´ve got with the S2000 04' was 245.38Mhp.

I have tunned up again the Amuse S2000 GT1. Some changes in the gears, Ride Height and in the Driving style xD

And i´ve got 250.26Mhp.

Not an amazing speed, but a lot better. And for sure, it beats the S2K 04" model. Now i´m sure that it´s almost impossible to get any S2000 to 300Mhp, but i will still try to do some more with it.

See you soon,

ShocK~

that's not a record breaking speed or over 350mph though is it?
 
Hey how can I join the Three Hundred Miles Per Hour club? I have gotten 474 km with the Toyota Minolta. Do I have to post a picture or how does things work here?

Thanks:)
 
you're wrong texanidiot25, ONLY session-screens are allowed verification, speeds from record-lists won't be accepted by D.E.!

well done with the S2000 testing Shock~ 👍 keep us posted on the LM-model!

In order of response:
Thanks, and don't worry too much about it. You are indeed the 3rd Pagani on the list.
I'm pretty protective of my 'little' Club, and I like to keep it clean of unrelated crap. Bear in mind that I like to joke a lot too, but I was serious that time :p
Well, keeping the largest active thread on the whole 'Planet can be a bit of work, but although technically I'm doing it on my own, in reality my guys make my job a lot easier ;) You know who you are!
I've never used a 'wheel for speed testing in GT4, and I almost never use a 'wheel at all - I love my DS2 too much!
Tyres don't make a difference? Then you're not going fast enough :sly: tell the 350mph+ tuners that tyres don't matter.

My, or rather our, approach is the correct one, we have been doing this for over a year, and contrary to popular belief I have very little time on my hands. That is why I will not have incorrect statements being made (in a quite arrogant fashion) in my thread, because I don't want other impressionable new members to take bad advice. You won't ever see me flaming, and count yourself lucky for that fact, but try to bear in mind that the 'proof' you have for what you say, if any, is not necessarily accurate.
Want an example? texanidiot25: "Either the session page, or in the records lists. Read the 1st page with all the rules." Did you read it?
And a little respect wouldn't go amiss sometimes...

Rule #1 broken there, so 'obviously' you're not... As Viper says. :indiff:

Well spotted, but that actually refers to a class-record-breaking speed - you know, one of the three Hall of Fame records? Not individual car records. I know we often do post video proof of records, but it's not required by the rules, beneath 350mph, unless I ask for it. So, that record is verified :) Nice work, seeinstripes! I think you might incur the wrath of Toronado for that ;)

Hi -Will-, Post #1 contains all you need to know how to join the Club 👍

Hi people :)

Some more S2000 Story to tell you xD

As we could remember, the best speed i´ve got at the moment:

Honda S2000 04' Tunned @ 464hp: 245.38Mph.

Amuse S2000 Gt1 @ 584hp: 250.26Mph.

Some races and 500k of $ after, i bought and tunned up My New Honda S2000 LM edition x)

Stats of the car:

With lvl 4 turbo and all the upgrades, include oil change: 580Hp;
R5 tires;
Full Customize Transmission and Suspension.

I take him to the ring, and set some basic settings. Put auto setting of the transmission on 25; NOS setted to the max, and final gear with standard value (4.100). Setted Ride Height to the minimum as possible. And lowest downforce. With the wing this car have, and that cannot be changed, i could not obtain 0 rear and front downforce, but that isn´t a problem, at all.

The first run i´ve got 252.26Mph. The best a honda S2000 has got at that moment, but i knew that it could be a lot better.

Then i start to change details (On transmission, Spring rates, NOS, etc).

Second run i´ve got 253.54Mph.

More 3 or 4 runs to see how the gears could be changed.

Then, more Spring rate tuning, more Transmission settings.. and after four more runs, and with the correct shifting and NOS timing, the best speed i´ve got at ALL:

256.45Mph

Still far, but i know i can get the transmission working better then it was.
I think this car have more to show, of course i still think the 300Mhp barrier is too hard to get. But.. i will work some more!

When i got some entertaining results, i post here!

Edit: I knew.. 256Mph is so much far of the 300Mph. But for a 580Hp car, i think it is something good :)

Thx to you all,

ShocK~
