That's why it's more similar to a 240Z albeit 10cm skinnier tires and 500 more pounds of weight.

Oh bukkaz was telling me to drive a less grippier car. So, i wanted to look for a car that has a similar wheelbase but is harder to drive or something so yeah fc most likely

If you want an extremely small car with a lack of grip, try a 1956 Lotus Eleven.

It really isn't

Finally beat my controller PB with the CSR!

4:44.384 NDH '69 Z

How do you like the CSR? I've never used a controller and I haven't met anyone who's switched over from using one to a wheel and say they've gotten faster.

well it feels grippier than the 86 to me

The tire size on both is 225 but the FC weighs about 650 lbs more. It may feel more grippy because of the extra weight on the tires but the FC technically has less grip than an 86.

It's a ton more fun than using the controller. However, it was a very frustrating experience trying to catch up. I beat my uphill time a few weeks in but i hadn't really gone at the uphill prior. But I've been chasing that downhill ghost since December. Improving on the wheel feels more rewarding than on the controller too.

I shouted out loud at seeing myself do this. 4:47:846

I really wanna get a good wheel with shifter but they are soooo expencive!

Fanatec does bundles every now and then and they're pretty worth it. You'll also want a stand or build your own or use a desk or something so that can make it more difficult.

Bukkaz to where you are know you shouldn't use a wheel. 
It might ruin your driving a bit. 
Cuz I know that the transition from a controller to a wheel ain't that Easy to do
If youre doing it just cause... disregard anything I said

I just want it for fun, its boring racing on a controller compaired to a wheel

Aint that the truth. But its such a better way to experience the game IMO

True true

That's why I haven't bothered to play at all until I get my wheel back from home. And yeah you would probably go from doing 34s in the 86 to doing 44s for a while based on what I've seen when my friends try to use my wheel.

Haha 44's in the 86 would make me wanna hang myself lol but I just gotta look for a decent wheel going for cheap, I can afford the whole setup new but dont really wanna spend all that money on it

It's better to buy a good expensive wheel if you're serious about it than buy a cheap wheel, grow bored of it, and then buy another one that's slightly more expensive.  At that rate you'll end up buying that really expensive wheel anyway, it's just a matter of time and money.  I went through 3 wheels before getting my CSR and I could have saved $200 if I bought it sooner.  Then again if you end up hating to use a wheel it would be a waste too.  Dunno your call.

Hmmm yeah you got a point there kraze Im guna think on it a bit
