Just in case anyone is interested I, FWIW, dug out my current GTO settings. I'm not a great tuner (nor am I a tuner that tastes great) but, well here's what I've been using lately. |
The first three cars are from my "real" game, while the last is from my current attempt to quickly collect all race prize cars. (Which did not go as quickly as I expected, but is finally down the backstretch at 998 days, with only 2Mega,2 4wd, 1GV300, 1All-NightI car to go). |
As far as I can tell, in Gran Turismo, both high stabilizers and low ride height increase your tendency to slide (or at least, to slide before visibly rolling). Assuming that is true, it's presumably because the physics model in that case dissipates the force as slide rather than roll. Roll should cause a slide eventually, but it seems to be noticeably delayed if the car does roll. And/or it is a lot easier to "read" a rolling car than a sliding one on the screen, especially on slow tracks. (E.g. Autumn Ring). (The "never turning over" algorithm must come into effect here somewhere, too). |

| notes [1] [2] | |
[1] while idly running a 0-400 test (as the way to find the settings) I set a personal best. But it wasn't a very good time, so I won't tell you that it was 8.554 seconds. |
[2]This is tuned the way it was when it managed to lap the Civic in the last race (SSR11ii) in the Tuned series. I had used stabilizers of 5F/4R for HSRii,GVii, and CR5ii. For ARii it would use 3/3 stabilizers, and turbo spec 3; I might have used "normal" (no) intercooler, but I can't remember for sure (and don't have specific notes). |
As a last remark, however fast I manage to get with a GTO'95MR, an R32SkylineGT-R'89 does seem to end up being faster... |
