when course has advantages...for battle?

either dry or wet?

stay away from happo and iro...those are probably it's worst courses...but it's still above average i believe...so it doesn't matter where you go with the buntamobile

why they are worst?

Happo is an FF car course, which can be hard for AWD's like Buntamobile. For Iro... I'd like to think that Buntamobile has understeer there or doesn't take turns as fast as other AWD's... like Evos.

IMO the gc8v has problems with iro 'cuz of it's weak low gears... it's acceleration is horrible when compared to that of the evos on iro, it's slow coming out of the corners. gc8v isn't all that bad on happo.

Go to akina except against an 86, I liked akagi and tsuchi when i had my buntamobile.

i think a gc8v would kill on akagi uh wet.

the 8V just kills on uphill/wet, and tsuchi, and akagi...

I agree. My EG6 was way faster in the low end pickup department compared to my 8V which seems to have a slow 3rd to 4th transition. Otherwise the 8V is a great car. One thing I've heard people accusing me of with the buntamobile is using a bug'd car. Dunno bout you guys, but the 8V isn't bugged in the least. When I hit the walls it still slows down, its 3rd to 4th gear transition is weak (as was said before), and it does have courses its bad on.

so wats the buntamobiles strobgest course

Not sure. All the courses except Iro and Happo its really good at. I find I'm really good with it on Shomaru, Tsuchi, and Akina/Snow.

well on thing on akina
the cappuccino is best on akina with 2,5X,XXX

actually the trueno is the best on akina, 2'55, i believe the capp record is like 2'58
and the 8V feels really slow to me on shomaru,
for advice, MASA would probably be the guy you want to ask about the 8V or Kengai

MASA definitely would be the one I would ask for advice on the 8V. So far he is the best one I have seen using the 8V.

gotta make our team leader look good

It actually is gotta make ur team leader look good(I never joined his team or any other team on this forum). But I have not checked any of the rankings lately so I'll take ur word for it.

Supposedly, the car can keep up with all of the course kings, but most likely won't be able to surpass them.

it's actually a course king or 2nd place on many courses/conditions
it does very well on every possible condition on akina...
and GAARA, he's number 1 on akina uphill wet and some other courses i believe

8v is AWESOME on akagi uh wet, akina dh wet, akina uh dry and wet...

it good on every course... yes even Iro... just gotta know how to drive it

if u wanna own some1 take them to akina uh...

The worst course for the 8v on dry is Iro reverse (I can still pull '12''2) and for wet it is iro reverse and shomaru ob...

I got owned there with my gdb by some who fished me. Normally would not lose to him b/c I kicked his ass pretty much everywhere else.

i think the 8v is tough to drive because its acceleration isnt very good at all. on iro the only thing i can do is block and reverse against evos because 3rd gear is horrid and it cant quite take the important turns in 4th. on akina i sometimes find myself taking turns much faster than truenos and yet they still gain slightly after a long straight.

the one thing the 8v is superb at is stability. if anything, the 8v is the easiest car to keep under control that i have tried in ver3 because it doesnt understeer much and the oversteer is only slight. under conventional techniques (no feint no 5 in 4 out) the 8v is fairly slow, but it is really good if you can put feint and 5 in 4 out to use because its so easy to pull off in this car (because of the stability).

To me it feels as if the 8v is based on Bunta's philosphy to be fast...don't make a mistake. This car is a demon as long as you don't screw up cause it takes a while to get your speed back....in other words...Don't touch the wall at all in this car it does not like it.

thanks guys!
but i don't understand the technique of "feint and 5 in 4 out"

feint is like realeasing ur gas pedal in a corner for a momet and full acceralting it at the right point

dunn about 5 in 4 out?

please tell me how to get a good time on IRO?

lmao.. I Cant Take the Important turns in 4th, I End Up 4 In 4 Out Than Back up To 4,

I've Tried Feinting but it Doesnt work that well with an EVO IV Pushing at you Bumper
