Gutters?, Really work?| Saito | Posted: Mar 11 2004, 03:49 AM |
Wakarimasu ka?  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,838 Member No.: 1,260 Joined: Feb 10th 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia | well i have seen people taking the gutters...from what ive seen it just lets you take the corners at a higher speed then usual.... And for the part where people are saying that you go faster....well of course you do if you accelerate on the turn.... Ive read that the gutters just let you take the corner better at a higher speed and that it holds you in while taking that speed...(does that make sense?) |

This guy is in 5th gear most of the time, and only goes into 4th for the hairpins. Really doubt you could be pulling a 2:51, in an fd, and suck at the hairpins. |

Talk about Tokyopop Invasion. Anyways, Gutters you CAN gain speed on some of them, others you can just take faster than not taking them, but you still lose a little bit of speed. |

my gf is faster than your gf Group: Advanced Members Posts: 684 Member No.: 819 Joined: Sep 23rd 2003 Location: Davis, CA | i think hes under the impression that you are saying the gutters give you a video game style boost in speed, but they dont, you just accelerate out of them like any other corner, you just have more grip so you can accelerate more than if you werent in the gutter. |

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 13,123 Member No.: 1,355 Joined: Feb 28th 2004 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | From what you said you made it seem like you accelerate the entire way through the gutter. I know all they do is let you take the turn at a higher speed, i use them myself. Akina in my FD is my favorite course, I like not having the best car on the track and being able to beat a decently skilled trueno, cap... i just have to accelerate faster and block, or leave the boost on (Im going to level the playing field any way i can against a course king so screw your opinions!... unles u agree with it then ur kewl) |
