Undrivable Corrado (Forza 3 content)

[MonkeyVR6 0]

Hi chaps,

 

I've got a bit carried away and on a 6000 CR (Forza 3 money) Corrado I've spent a total of 167,660 CR on upgrading...resulting in a A Class, 560 PI car :help:

 

The car is great in a straight line, especially off the mark, but I'm finding out that it handles like a boat come a corner, which is pissing me off when playing you lot online as much less powerful Corrado's are destroying me!

 

The car spec:

 

AWD chasis

3.0 litre VR6 engine + single turbo

457bhp

381 lb-ft

2,698lbs

 

or

 

6.5 speed

5.2 handling

7.4 acceleration

8.8 launch

5.3 braking

 

Obviously, the handling and braking is something I really need to address, however both of them are upraded to 'race'. :confused4:

 

I realise that I'm going to have to sacrifice a bit of bhp, but I need to keep the car in a reasonable class with a reasonable 'PI' number, or I'm either not going to be able to race my A Class car against other modified Corrados and if I can...I'm unable to keep it on the track!

 

Basically, can a Forza geek advise me on how to decrease performance on my C thus enabling me to be competitive with racing others online.

 

Cheers ez.

Theres an app for the iphone that sets up the suspension properly for you.

I'm kind of in the same boat/barge. :lol:

 

So far the only solution I've found is stiffening the rear a lot which helps but I still get understeer washout when applying power out of a corner. So its pretty crummy advice really and I'd be glad to hear advice as well! :D

just google forza 3 calculator theres loads of sites that`ll tell you what to set stuff as

I found putting your AWD ratio at 30%/70% towards the rear helps, increase your front tire pressure a little, and just experiment with the differential settings. I managed to build an S class rado 0-62 in 2.5secs :nuts:. braking is still a problem tho!

Cheers for the advice chaps, unfortunately I don't have an iPhone, so I'll have to have a bash with the performance calculator and try Aqvila's advice too.

 

Am I able to buy another Corrado and modify that to a more acceptable standard? Or possible another 'setup' on the same car? For instance I could whack an R32 engine in instead and keep the mods to 'street' or 'sport' level?
