I tried it before there's a huge difference... |

Now THAT is interesting. I've never seen any proof for that. Care to provide us with times to compare? | ||

Adding spoilers to your cars is surely a good advantage in battle for blocking your opponents view ... BUT who in the world says that it SLOWS down your time ??? Please state down the reason coz i m so curious with so many of my cars with big n tall spoilers n i have no problems with it ... | ||

The Blue Lightning Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,142 Member No.: 36,245 Joined: Sep 5th 2010 Location: Akagi, Gunma, Japan | I added my fc3s a spoiler before, and play the game as usual. Suddenly, there's a guy that want to challenge me, and so i accepted it. I was beaten by a stock s2000, after that he told me if you lower your spoiler's height or better "throw it away" your fc will be faster. At first, i didn't believe it, WTF! i thought cosmetics have nothing to do with performance! But i tried, you see, i am a "constant" person, my record won't improve, reach its limit... until i play TA with my new fc, the result is shocking!!! if i recall, 2-3 seconds the time has shorten... you have to be there to believe it. |

I think you just drove differently OR (if this is the case), you tuned up your FC. I noted that for me, Suspension Upgrade Step 5 slows me down. Post more information, your time on what course, your car's tune, etc. |

I have multiple problems with that. One being if that was TRUE, then it would not explain how the Time Attacks with different Parts on the same cars (I mean Look at the Iro Cappu Vids) come within very close times of each other. Second, you can't remove the wing. So if he told you to remove it, he's talking out of his ass. Just because a stock S2000 is wingless does not mean it's automatically better. I have high doubts that you were doing the same thing with a different wing. You were probably braking or accelerating in a different matter and didnt notice it; because you THOUGHT the wing would do something. Case in point, externals do nothing on the gameplay of a TA. | ||
