Racing Skylines

Does anyone else notice that the Pennzoil Skyline in the game handles worse than the Calsonic or Loctite Skylines? I have all them fully tuned to 927 hp and the Calsonic and Loctite are perfectly balanced, whereas the Pennzoil has alot of oversteer. Kinda weird considering they all are the same car and are identically set up???

try just adjusting the LSD settings on the rear wheels a lil higher, that will give em tighter handling.

thats the problem though, the 3 are set up identically, have the same power, and are the same car, yet one is totally different to the other two.

The Penzoil Skyline is actualy the '99 car whereas the Loctite and Calsonic GTR's are either the 2000 or 2001. But even that shouldn't make a huge difference.

Also...the Pennzoil has more power than both the Loctite and Calsonic. I think the Pennzoil has 493(?) where as the Calsonic and Loctite have 453 and 463 hp.

Maybe its just too powerful!

I use a calsonic Skyline only sometimes. Its outputs about 850-900 with a turbo upgrade.
