Ace = I've driven the Evo VII, and I wouldn't say it handles like a "Skyline", it just slides. It's the second driftiest Evo in the game, following VI. It's start-up is awful so you're likely to get miffed at the start.

Ziek: A B-tune Evo III? Don't be a retard. You get get slow-start up and slower cornering without the MFS.

I just don't want to be cheap. I know how annoying it is when you know your better than the person and what they have going for them is the MFS. They won't even need shift points, and then you hit yours perfectly...AND YOUR STILL BEHIND.

Do you think blocking's cheap? the MFS is just another part of the game. You'll be no less or no more cheap for using it.

Eh, it's just the mentality of the thing...I guess. Blocking isn't cheap though, that's a skill. The MFS is not a skill though.

I guess I'll just get the A-Tune Evo III then.

EDIT: Maybe I can match mines against the people at the arcade. It's a long shot but I'm tired of losing races to them all the time. But then again, if I win, I'll probably get jumped. eek

The black FD might retire, but the RedSuns will live on forever! *Uber pose*

Psh..best yellow fanboy FD in Michigan right here. I need to get out of C option. Understeers like the B...and B option sucks...yup.

Eh, I think of it like this: If the designers put it in the game, it's fairplay. That's why the RX-8 doesn't bother me a whole ton. I figure it still has it's weaknesses. Maybe.

well at least you guys are like hella good and all
I've been going almost every Sat but I suck
I know I have alot of cars and thats whats making me suck so bad
My main car is the Silvia Q and thats it
I get the rest cause I want to try it out
and I like them
I cant get my name on the board or anything
except for the fact of Car Ranking Modle and thats it
well Im off l8er

i noticed that when i wasnt improving that i needed to change something, so what you might want to do is look at how your driving the course, and maybe see how you could do it differently, maybe try a different shifting technique, or take a gamble on a turn and not brake but let off the gas, just lil things like that can help lower your time, but the trick is to be able to do it consistently

Some dude named Jason smacked all the hacked GC8's with a BNR34 on Snow, lol. Godzilla is making a comback!

If you're talking about BART, I know him personally. He showed me a few techniques on Happo OB and IB.

Ezeikial - I'm no longer an Iro master. My friend took that over for me. Instead, I focus on Happo IB as my main course. As for the other courses, I keep myself knowledgeable of the lines and what to do where. I'm a battler now, remember?

Aerial Ace does have a point on posting the Evo VII record as compared to the Celica GT-4 records on Snow. I've heard it said that theoretically, all 4WD cars can run nearly the same times. If it's 4WD vs. 4WD battle, it'll mostly come down to who's the better driver (and who can get in front and block).

i thought you've always been a battler sweatdrop but i do recall you telling me that you ran a 3'01 and for sure ran a sub 3'05 consistently, so thats why i called you the Iro master out of the guild/thread, what do you run on Iro now anyways? i think i know a few guys at my arcade that might be able to help me lower my times, one guy drives the Buntamobile and the other an EvoIV, so i'll just ask them if i can battle them because im trying to get better and stuff like that, who knows it might work

man i wish i could take a tour and race each of ya individually, hehe i would take out Ziekoh first......er i mean race him first xp

i see Zeikoh's point tho, with some players the MFS is their only redeeming quality, and without that MFS, they would suck and would lose horribly and not be able to race nowhere near as well, so yeah, i dont see how you can compare blocking to the MFS, now if the MFS was an option that you can turn on and off, then yeah i could see how you could, because blocking is an option, not something thats built into your car

Ahh, but it can be used in the game. I believe Casey told me that sometimes Evo III drivers will consistently tap the gas so the flame shoots out the back of their tailpipe to distract the player behind them.

[HeroCasey]

*Nods* It psyches people out.

But seriously, that's stupid. You're making the MFS sound like it's some kind of cheap advantage. What about the Twin Turbo setup on your Spirit? Or the Supercharger on my Levin? Or hell, the six-gear cars! Jesus, don't be stupid. It's an upgrade to the car. The Evo III has it's weaknesses anyways.

GDB > Evo III

Man, I wish the episodes would work for me. Everytime I download one, it always tells me I need a codec of some kind.
