meh...who could have guessed?? :sly:
No, seriosly, I can get the R8 to 352.xx and the 88C-V to over 355, but the GT-One? No way! :grumpy:

Couldnt tell yah what your doing wrong, It seems you have a garage full of quick cars.

I aint about to give up my LSR Set up. :crazy:
 
Rac3rX, cheers for the pictures. That's now 100% confirmed.

(I think DE called this the "Churchill Effect" - I don't know why)

I called it the Churchill Effect because of the nodding dog, Churchill, in the car insurance adverts :p because the faster the car goes, the more he seems to nod up and down! I thought it was quite fitting, but I suppose only people in the UK will understand it.

Hi, welcome to the thread if not the 300mph club! This isn't quite as official as it may seem, it's just a bunch of petrolheads and one or two good tuners (:p) getting their cars to go madly fast, all you have to do to be one of us is let me know what speed you did and in what car! If you can, a photo is very helpful to prove your achievement, preferably video, but if you can't do either posting up your settings is fine. Several people have managed to get the TVR Speed 12 past 300mph (check the leaderboard linked to in my sig for that). My 88C-V settings ar currently in a file marked 'Top Secret Development' :sly: but perhaps I could make a setup for you to reach 310 or something.
Usually people here find their own ways to speed, it's more rewarding that way! But if you're really struggling, we can help you out.
Oh, and one more thing? Before the mods jump on you for it, please use proper spelling, punctuation and grammar at all times - it makes the posts easier to read 👍

ok nice one ive done 300 in my toyota 88c-v and then with a little help well alot of help i got to 350 al try post the pics for u
Click to expand...

Ive been working on my Toyota 88c-v too. Its not going too well. Ive tried all i can think of and the car only manages 317.4. It feels like its got less power than my Nissan R92CP but i know it hasnt. Im not sure what to do but its not annoing, i see it as a challenge. Has anyone got any advice. I dont want any settings though i want to try myself. You learn more that way....
 
Mad dj, you´ve got post #666!
I need help! Can enyone provide an idea on how I could post a video? The only digicam recorder I have is a crappy cellphonecam, and I´m not sure the quality of the vid would be sufficient enough. Rac3rX, what do you use?
The reason I want to know is that I can see the LSR within reach in my 88C-V as I just ran a 356.88 mph run, and I do belive there is more in it!

:) No he hasn't, I have! He got reply #666 though! 👍
I think Rac3rX uses a capture card, which is definitely the best and clearest way of verification but that's not the only acceptable method.

Mad dj, again with the grammar.. Sorry to go on about it but surely it's not too much trouble to spell correctly? Anyway.. Thanks in advance for the picture if you can do it, I can't put you on the leaderboard without it!

Slick Rick, so long as she's not annoying you :dopey: just keep going with her! If you get stuck, I usually find that trying out what seems like a really stupid setting sometimes helps, so mess around with her to see what happens!

Is it worth me posting another 88c-v over 300 time in here? i mean.. ive read the whole post and wouldnt mind joining the 300 club. but it seems easy to get 300 on that car. i reached 306.xx with about 10 minutes of gear changes NOS included. my quest is now to get over 320. that seems like a stretch. the question is. besides ride height. did anyone adjust spring rates or anything else besides gears ? is it going to change the result much at all at that speed? i will post my pick at 306 if necessary.. i would rather post one atleast 315+

So what would you like? What would be acceptable? Digicam? Because the cellphone I have would probably be a bit on the grainy side :indiff: And I really need you to watch this one!!! If it clears your critical eye (and it should!), a bomb will detonate... :nervous:
 
Well I topped my LSR, as I saw the crowd catching up, I also Finally got her into 360mph

here are some pics, Im getting the Vid ready, but as I watched it I saw I hit the rev limiter in 6th (Finally) before running out of NoS

Soooooooooooo

Im almost positive I can still get more out of her, but while I do that check these Pics out

Top Speed was 360.68mph

If you look at the front ride hight of the GT-1 Compared to the rear ride hight i think the GT-1 maybe doing a wheelie... not a bad one.... but still a wheelie.
Click to expand...

Dude...Please, you can clearly see the wheels on the ground from 354mph to 360mph. Dont give me any wheelie crap, scroll back to see a wheelie as I posted what a wheelie looks like, weve all come past the childish ****.

The front looks Jacked because of ummm its Going 360mph & what happens when you slam the gas? The rear Dips, Whell Im hitting 50shot of NoS and going 360mph

and a Jacked Front ride height with a dropped rear as this is common knowledge as to be a way to gain a few mph but is NOT a wheelie as the wheels are on the ground the whole time, the front being jacked in the ride height and the rear dropped IS NOT A WHEELIE!

Look real Close at the car while it hits The fastes know speed for a car on 4 wheels. :sly:

ohh wait, no 362.41mph is the fastest (Just got it), Ill have the vids and pics up in a bit, I have to take out the trash.

actually it doesn´t. I know how it looks, and it feels really wierd too, but once you check it, the front wheels never leave the ground. Well, I can´t see that from those pics, but in general, that is the case.

I do belive the 88C-V has at least 360mph in it too. I´ll check tomorrow.
 
Ohh and I got My Minolta up to 355mph, Im tweeking a few more mph out of her, hopping to hit 360mph, but I dont think it will happen, BUT who knows, I havnt played with her as much as Ive played with the GT-One.

I think you nailed it there. The key to hit a really high speed is to devote yourself to one car only, and tweak the h**l out of it.
I can say that I have over 358mph on the 88C-V now, and there is more to come, but I won´t post a vid until I have the LSR. Too much work to get a video for me... :indiff:
 
DJ-CiviC
I would be interested by your settings Rac3rX :D
Click to expand...

Im sure you would :sly:

While I will post them Here Im waiting a Bit as I want to keep the Fastest Man in GT4 Title for a little while before I post it and someone tweeks a mph more out of it. :crazy: :sly:
 
Good luck

358mph with the Minolta thats pretty sweet. hmmmmmmmmmm maybe she can hit 360mph, Ill mess with her a bit latter Im still a little stoked over the 362mph.

:D Good one! Do you think the speed will ever overcome 370mph? That would mean 600km/h!! (note to self: get car to go 370mph)
 
So I tweeked the gears a bit to let me go past 360mph, and I was able to pull off 362mph

The Vid is in the works and will be up soon, for now scope these pics.

If there was more track yes, maybe, but as is maybe not, I dont even think going backwards would make the straight long enough to get up to that speed, but honestly I didnt think 360 was posible.

I think I may have streatched the gears too far, I wasnt finished my Nos and I wasnt Deep in the Red line, POSIBLY, I can squeeze a few more mph out of her, Ill try after the game.

Hokey is on.....Later Ill post the Vid, game is on! Go Canadiens!!!!
 
As I said earlier, the fastest speeds in LM cars will sail very close to wheelie settings.

Those pix by Rac3rx just show the basics of fast settings: minimum ride height rear, maximum ride height front. What his pix don't show is that he would also have mimimum downforce front and.... how much downforce rear?

That's the trick. Dial up X amount rear downforce and you go quicker. A setting such as 58 rear is probably still legit. Try it. But dial up too much rear downforce and your wheels start skipping up, not in the monster obvious wheelie as Rac3rx shows, but in noticeable mini-wheelies that go way beyond DE's Churchill effect. Each time the car mini-wheelies it accelerates unnaturally, and you end up with a much higher top speed. You really notice it from the driver's seat as it happens, but it's harder to detect from a replay.

Where this effect chimes in depends on the weight distribution you dial in and other chassis settings, but when your rear downforce numbers get into the 60s on an LM car, at some stage you're doing wheelies.

You stop the mini-wheelies by notching back the rear downforce a bit, and you end up going a bit slower, but you're legal.

Where's the magic "legal" mark? Doesn't actually exist. But it's where the amateur lawyers around here are going to hang out, eventually.

The only solution in the long run is for Rac3rx or whoever is quickest to send his settings confidentially to a couple of impartial observers and for them to come back, without revealing the settings, and say if they're legit or not.

Yawn.....lol

FYI The Set upon my car is NOT a wheelie set up at all AS THE WHEELS ARE ON THE GROUND, suprise suprise, If its that simple big shot, why dont you go ahead and prove it, make your car hit that speed doing a wheelie, but to NOT be doing a wheelie at all on video & in Pictures from ALL angles at any point of the track, Id love to see you do that! That would be almost More impressive then the Top speed I got.

In this replay there are no "mini Wheelies" there arnt even the bobs you get with a Minolta (with 0 or full DF front and Back, itsimposible for that car not to nodd up and down reguardless of DF setting) the GTone Will bob if you set the DF rear too high & the front really low But thats NOT how I tuned MY GTone to go that Fast lol. Your theories on My set up and how I acheved the speed "get into the 60s on an LM car, at some stage you're doing wheelies" is BS, and show signs of a sore looser.

My Car does NO Wheelie AT ALL! Also wait also for the Vid, generally if the car is bobbing the speed is bobbing with it (Not moving up smothly) also If you like I can show pics from photo mode at any mph you want to show wheel contact at all times.

Face it its legit, no need for baby stuff, as we moved past it quite a while back. But If your Pissed I pushed it too far for yah, Its OK, Its just a game. :crazy: :sly:

And to be clear, the "Legal" mark is when the wheels leave the ground, its pretty simple.

Wheels OFF the ground = Wheelie

Wheels ON the ground = Not a Wheelie

:sly:
 
I didn't say I thought your run was illegal, did I?

I don't really give a rat's arse either way.

But thanks for the polite, measured response, always very helpful.
