has anyone noticed if u change your setup,it really does nothing much?
also that the cars how no power?
the cars really dont gain any speed in the turns at all?
the cars sound nothing like the real cars.
how bout the tire squeel,whats the supposed to be?
also it seems like all the laps that we run fell the same no matter what
we do with the car ?

nope,,,Mine seems QUITE sensitive to changes, especially tire pressures
and weight percentages
not exactly a rocketship, but then again, 205 going into turn three at
Dega seems like a lot of power to me
this is no different than real life,,,you will almost always lose
something going into a turn, especially if the tires are sqealing, this
is a direct result of friction,,,
maybe you just need some practice,,,there's something called the perfect
line,,,and it's different for every racer, on every track, with every
different setup..if you change the
car's setup, and it doesn't affect your lap times or line around the
track, then it's probably just driver related (unless, of course, you're
already turning those record laps,,,everything has its limitations, or
by now, the real cars would be doing three hundred  :)    )

I'm not sure how much experience you have with sims like this...or with
real driving...but from my own experience.

yes the acceleration is off...its been commented on before...

you aren't SUpposed to gain speed in the turns...turning the wheel
scrubs speed off...

the sound of the engine isn't quite low enough

the tire squeal is actually really close to what you manage to hear if
yer nearby...

as for the lack of "feel" when you change setups...keep running laps,
you'll notice the differences...the big differences wont be appearent
unless you are running right on the ragged edge...then every little
change in setup becomes VERY obvious...

Dave heheh stop it your killing me! I agree with you on all accounts.
The lack of front air dam and fuel adjust is big of course. I think all
the tracks seem super girpyexcept dega of course. The sound is not quite
right but, as someone who gave up my 75 Trans AM for a rice burning jap
car,  it somehow sounds good to me now. like a 600 hp blender set on
liquify I know one thing Dave if you cant make it go fast what hope do I
have?  See you on the track

I too have to agree, but as someone who just gained a 73 Trans Am SD-455
modified pushing 500hp.  I don't care, I'll just go hop in the real thing!!

Just rubbing it in Brad.
