GT3 is old School Dave, get with the times.

My BAGT is a slug, even with a blower and 650 odd kw, it wont go any faster than a 10.5.

Me and phantom got a 10.03 the other night in the typhoon, after 1st getting a 11.3 you can fiddle with the boost settings, gearbox ratio's and weight distribution to get it lower

Didnt get a 9 though!

yup...but you got to play around with it's settings and find at what revs you can use it without wheelspin

Tried the same tricks with the s/c nitrous SS Commy...could only manage a mid to high 10 from memory

Trade in 3 and buy 4 for sure.

A guy at work who's played it way more than me (i'm only finding out how much I suck at licences again...) reckons the cars dynamics and handling is way better in 4 than 3.

its worth having over GT3, but its not too different imo....much better selection of cars, and even though there is better options, you have to buy the fords!

ive got a typhoon, ran about a 13.7 stock, and with current mods (not many) it does a 13 flat.
