In tune mode, go to presets, stock, then load. It will ask you if you are sure you want to replace current settings with preset, select yes, and you are back to stock. As for tunes, well I don't own that vehicle, sorry.

Can anyone give me any tips on tuning? I just can't get the hang of it.

Hi
Been reading the posts and no one seems to mention the traction control. It flashes up on the dash when you are putting too much power through the tyres. I'm surprised that people are saying use the nitro early because in practically every one of the top cars if you use it in any of the 1st 4 gears the traction control kicks in and it's wasted.

thats not how it works at all... if you look at the tail pipe when the nosss comes on, it blows blue fire out of it. it accelerates the car kind of like jet propulsion which actually helps traction because its accelerating without using the tires to power the car

My traction light is programmed to flash "YB"

I've got a fully loaded BMW M3 (stock tuning) running in the 14.6's in level 4, but my BMW M6 in level 5 is barely turning in the same numbers. (1/2 mile)

Anyone have suggestions for getting more out of the M6 in level 5?
Engine: stage 5
Turbo: stage 5
Intake: stage 5
Nitro: stage 3
Weight: stage 3
Wheels: stage 5

Maybe it's a driving thing - I'm launching both cars into 2nd gear off the line and hitting the nitro in 3rd. The M6 reaches higher top speed, but still turns in sad times.

Hello fellow Drag racers!! Currently running the Koenigsegg Agera R, right now running 1/4 @ 8.131 and the 1/2 @11.911 any tuning tips are greatly appreciated! also purchased a SSC Ultimate Aero so looking for upgrade and tuning tips on that one as well!! thanks!

You are incorrect sir. If you hit the nos too early your car will barely move. The fire is not jet propulsion, but rather the nos just burning out of your tail pipe. You want to hit it when the car will skid for just about a half second then catch traction.

To the other guy, I am not sure but I don't think that is actually traction control. I think that light is just there in case some people don't want the sound on. It just means "tires are skidding"

I am new to the game so I am not sure about my second point, but I am very sure about my first point. I have blown by many drivers in the early lvls of this game because they hit the nos while their tires were still spinning. The car just looks like it is sitting still. Sadly this stopped happening about lvl 4.


Also, to anyone that can help, I have a lvl 7 Am one-77 currently running 8.6xx, tuning and race style below. I would appreciate any advice to help compete with the 8.4xx and 8.3xx I see running in pro. (No specific tunes though. I want to figure it out somewhat on my own. I just don't know that much about tuning in general. I can play with the numbers but I don't know what they mean.)

Spoiler

Nos: 4.02/75%
Final drive: 4.800
1st: 1.777
2nd: 1.731
3rd: 1.176
4th: 0.945
5th: 0.750
6th: 0.650

I skip the first two gears starting in 3rd. I then hit the nos as it hits 7500 rms in 3rd and try to just over perfect shift the rest of the way. I've tried other strategies but this one gets me the best times of 8.635-8.668.

You have to play ard wit upgrades before the car switches lvls.... and sum cars use nos differently.... the lambo and bugs for instances have to b nos in second while some cars require 1st ,3rd, or 4th gr nos.... try racing driver battle or random more itll make u a better racer

I don't know what you are talking about. If you read my post I raced driver battles a lot to make RP and cash. And won a lot because of stupid people using nos incorrectly. And nos should be used differently because of how the car is tuned as well. I was simply stating it is not a "jet" pushing you even when there is no traction.

BMW M3 E92 does anyone have any setting to help out this car I've been playing with the tune setting and stock is the fastest I've found but I no this car can go faster than 190 in the 1/2 because I've seen it but I don't no what settings the player is using to achive 200+ mph in the 1/2 can some one help

 

[ray1126]

Finally got enough $ and RP to upgrade and tune. Accidentally moved gear ratios before taking note of stock numbers. Does anyone have those gear ratios or any success in tuning the Venom GT?

just tap the preset button and highlight stock than tap load it should ask you to confirm.

Hey guys,

I seem to be winning 98% of the time with my lvl 8 koenigsegg, running 8.19 highest in a 1/4.

anyone else got a faster one? and if so plz post details

I had an apponent that defeated me with a 8.17!! and whats killing is... he has the same car as me but i just want to know how in the world did u go down by 0.02! hehe

Pagani Zonda is faster, 7.903 so far.

EDIT: 7.897.

 

[British Prick]

I have the veyron ss all maxed out. Anyone got a tune to break 7.3's in the quarter mile. My best is a 7.329 i think and trying to get into the 7.2's. Gotta get my level 10 ten rank up. Thanks

2.00@150%
F.D. 2.473
1st 2.980
2nd 2.000
3rd 1.715
4th 1.507
5th 1.339
6th 1.232
7th 1.092

Fastest is 7.274.

 

[British Prick]

Can a Murcielago SV be maxed out to Level 8? I have a bunch of mods avail and I would like to keep buying them so I can keep this car for a while. If not, I'll need to sell it and get something else to do lvl 8 with. I already have a level 9 Veyron (white) but don't feel like de-tuning it to make it compatible for level 8.

Pagani Zonda is the best level 8 car, I have mine running 7.903 so far. If you get one I'll help you tune it.


Edit: 7.897.

 

[British Prick]

Anyone have a tune for the M3 at level 4?

 

[dui6669]

Has anyone found a tuning setup for level 8 Koenigsegg Agera R? I've tried and tried but can't beat the tuned Zonda R's in 1/2 mile. My times are currently running 11.79x consistant. If anyone found a way to get 11.6xx i'd like to know if it is possible.

 

[powerdedo]

Pagani Zonda is the best, you do not need nitro to get 8.2 with nitro 8.0- then tuning=7.8
best way to understand how to drive you car -
go to | race -> friends -> race ->
then choose distance, level, and you will see exactly where is your slow moments...
this way i found how to speedup my zonda even without tuning/
i start with 2nd, then 3rd on 7K, 4rth on 7K-7,5K push nitro and gear together, and same with 5 to the end.
6th gear you push only for 1/2mi
