Go under the gear ratio menu and shorten all the gears as low as they will go. I got my Vantage well over 200 mph. If you want speed, get the Dodge Viper GTS or the Toyota Supra RZ and max the HP and lower the gear ratios. Now you're talkin FAST!!!

True, handling is greatly decreased. When you're going that fast, why would you need to turn? You can't possibly do any technical tracks at those speeds.

Re: Vantage

i think youve misunderstood what i was asking.... the thing is i love the power and all but i WANT to have the handeling...... my point is i want to be able to take the technical courses..... i mean there has to be some way to harness that power and be able to turn

Don't adjust the gear ratios too much. You can have a lot of power and still not go fast if you don't adjust the gear ratios. This way, you can have tons of power and still be able to turn. If you can find any other way of doing it, then you're a genius.

you guys might wanna change suspension settings cuz it sounds like yall havent. put a little negative camber on the front wheels, turn up the TCS if not already, lower it, but not the ground and increase rear downforce if it'll let you. and if your trying to do technical tracks with those beastly cars, shorten the gears, and feather the throttle through turns, OR just take off some performance parts period. it also depends on which technical track your racing on, you might want to adjust how stiff your springs are. if you're on a mainly flat track such as Seattle or Tokyo, stiffen them bitches up. but if your on a more mountainous track with alot of bumps, you're gonna wanna make them a bit softer of else you'll be jumpin all of over the place. remember horsepower isnt everything, especially on tight tracks, but you guys already knew that right?
